Traverse City Reelin Leland Fishing Charters
Lake Michigan – home to some of the best Trout fishing in the northern hemisphere, for a good reason. This bountiful area is only improved by Reelin Leland Fishing Charters, true local pros who'll put you on the hottest bite around.
Join Captains Dylan Grant and Chris Oosee on board their 27' Tiara, the Leelanautical. Manufactured in the '80s, she's still in pristine condition; when you've got a good design it stands the test of time. She has a cuddy cabin layout, meaning you've got plenty of room to move around while chasing the bite. She can hold up to 6 anglers without them tangling lines while fishing at the same time. She's powered by twin Crusader engines, with 540 HP of thrust – which allows her to develop an impressive maximum cruising speed of 45 knots.
Fishing the Great Lake Michigan means it's all about Trout and Salmon. You'll go trolling for Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and Chinook Salmon across the lake. Downriggers give you an edge as they allow you to troll deeper and put more lines in the water.
The charter will provide you with all the necessary equipment for this trip. Customers over the age of 17 will need a valid Michigan fishing license before starting their fishing trip. You should also bring polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and a waterproof camera to take pictures of your trophy catch!
If you're ready to set on an unforgettable fishing adventure, you're ready for a trip with Reelin Leland Fishing Charters – nothing melts stress away quicker than battling a massive King Salmon!

Christopher Mcdowell5.0VerifiedBest Bachelor Party Event Around!
Half Day - AM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on April 5, 2025 • 5 adultsAs the best man in my friend’s wedding, I scheduled this charter for us during the bachelor party in TC. Not only did we all limit out on lake trout, the crew went above and beyond to make our experience great. Would recommend, best charter experience I have had thus far!
Natalie SaundersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSuper Friendly & Knowledgeable
Half Day - AM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on July 26, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy son and I went on our first fishing trip on Lake Michigan with Captain Chris & his son. They taught my young angler why they chose the bait they did, why the water temp, the depth, etc. It was so cool to watch the experience through my son’s eyes. We went on a 4 hour charter and caught some Lake Trout! Highly recommend, awesome experience!
Ethan Pilarski5.0Fantastic Charter Fishing Trip on Lake Michigan!
Half Day - AM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on June 4, 2023From start to finish, everything about this trip was top-notch, making it a remarkable fishing trip. Captain Tony and Dylan were not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about the area's fishing spots but also incredibly friendly and helpful. We had action throughout the trip and were able to bring in a handful of king salmon and lake trout. The equipment on board was exceptional and the boat itself was immaculate, I would highly recommend booking your next charter with them!

Outstanding
Half Day - PM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on August 13, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Chris and Alex were absolutely fantastic considering the hard conditions. My two boys and father in law had a wonderful time and caught lots of fish! Fantastic time! Looking forward to coming back again!!!
Matt Jakubowski5.0We needed a bigger cooler!
Half Day - AM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on April 29, 2023Be sure to clear out freezer space, and bring your largest cooler! Captain Tony puts you over the bite! I take an annual trip with both family and friends, and I wouldn't go with anyone else. He makes each trip an exciting experience for all. You won't find a Captain with better knowledge, or equipment than Tony.
James Bennett5.0Full day with captain Tony
Half Day - AM (Salmon & Lake Trout) on August 20, 2022Captain Tony is a very experienced charter boat captain with all the necessary equipment to put you on and catch fish. But more importantly he knows how to have fun and is great with families and younger anglers. Me and my boys have been out with him multiple times and always have a great time.
Steve Mcelhiney5.0VerifiedLots of fish!!!
