Charter boat fishing on Lake Michigan is one of Wisconsin's newest recreational industries. Since the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources began planting trout and salmon in the lake in the late 1960's, charter boat fishing has become a big business. The study examines this charter boat industry and assesses its impact on the state of Wisconsin. The charter boat industry has had major impact on several Lake Michigan coastal communities. The primary beneficiaries of tourist dollars spent in the pursuit of the charter fishing experience were restaurants and taverns, hotels and motels, service stations and grocery stores. Direct sales to charter boat customers in 1973 amounted to $1,660,000, which adds up to nearly four million dollars in total sales when multiplier effects are taken into consideration.
