Fish on !
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 18, 2024
Got out on the lake with captain Jody after a couple days of the lake being to rough to fish. He put us on fish and nice eaters at that. Had a nice mixed bag of kings and coho. Was first time salmon fishing for my sons on this trip. Captain Jody and first mate Luke did a awesome job instructing kids how to bring them in. Fishing trip was best charter I have ever been on. They know where to go to put you on fish. I will use this charter service in the future. Fish on !

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 26, 2024
4 of us went out with Captain Jody and mate Matt. Put us on the fish 10 minutes into the first troll. Caught fish consistently. Came to the dock with 11 salmon and brought home 52 lbs of salmon filets. This was our first experience on Lake Michigan and couldn't have asked for a better day! Thanks for a memorable trip!

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 12, 2024
This is the 2nd year we have gone out with Chunky Monkey Charters. Had a great time last year and did not think it could get any better, but it did. We have constant action with doubles, triples and even a quadruple header on at once. When we got back to the dock we definitely had the biggest overall catch. Great Charter and a Great time.
