Fishing in Lake Michigan has never looked so good. Come trolling and catch your limit of Salmon and Trout in these peaceful waters.

You will spend the day on board the 32' Chris Craft boat. This recently restored boat can comfortably fit you and 5 fishing friends on board. You'll have plenty of space to relax while trolling, and then be able to reel in the fish once they start biting.

Trolling is a great fishing technique that allows anglers of all levels of experience to fish. It is known for being very relaxing, so for those that need to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this will be the perfect trip for you. There are 3 trips to choose from, from the morning to the evening, so whatever your schedule there will be an opportunity to fish waiting for you.

This boat boasts a 340 HP Mercruiser engine. Coupled with Captain Alonzo Knowle's decades of experience and the full navigational equipment, you are sure to spend the day on top of the fish. It only takes about fifteen minutes to get onto the fish, leaving you maximum time to troll these waters.

The bathroom and flybridge on board will both be helpful when fishing. You'll be able to see your prey and fish in comfort! You are welcome to bring along your own drinks. These can be in a small cooler or can be transferred to the cooler on board.

On the menu are King Salmon (Chinook) and Coho Salmon. You will also have the opportunity to catch Lake Trout, as well as a by-catch of Steelhead and Brown Trout. State limits apply for how many you may take home and of what size, but Capt. Alonzo will make sure you are made fully aware of these regulations.

You will use top of the line gear, including Shimano, Daiwa, and Okuma rods and reels. This gear won't let you down when you are reeling in your trophy fish. Capt. Alonzo will happily fillet your fish at the end of your trip.

There is no better time to book. Come join Fish-X-TC today for an awesome time that you won't forget in a hurry!

True Michigan experience
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 26, 20252 adults
My husband and I had an experience we will share as the highlight of our Michigan trip. We haven't been fishing in 20 years and we're impressed with the equipment Fish-X-TC has to find and pick up the fish. The Captain and Skipper were super friendly in conversation and education of fishing. They are very experienced and knew where the great spots were to catch. We came back with our limit of fish. We will book again on our next trip.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 15, 20254 adults
We booked and have fished at our local lakes back home but not to this caliber. The captain and his son, Tucker, were awesome. They were knowledgeable, accommodating and made certain to make our trip a great experience. My husband, two grandsons and I enjoyed our time and if you’re looking for a great experience chrck these guys out. You will not be disappointed!

Parking is very easy for a morning trip. The boat and the crew are great, as confirmed by other reviews. The morning bite was tough after a heavy wind the previous day blew up the pattern that had been working, but Captain Alonzo has more than one trick in the bag, so we were able to move and find at least a handful of lake trout that were willing to bite. Thanks guys!
