You can't go wrong with Whitecap Charters. The captain will not only guide you through the basics before you make your first cast – he will make sure your rods are busy throughout the adventure.

The captain opens the season in May and takes his clients out until late October. The spring and summer months are all about light tackle fishing, while heavy tackle is the main technique for September and October.

You will be equipped with top-notch gear by Shimano, Okuma, and Ugly Stik to catch anything from Chinook and Coho Salmon to Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Perch, and Steelhead.

The 'Trouble Maker' will be your boat for the day. It is a 29' A
Trophy Pro cuddy cabin that comes powered by twin 225 HP engines. Trouble Maker has enough space for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style. She is a trailerable boat, which allows the captain to fish from several ports, such as Manistee, Traverse City, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, Torch Lake and Frankfort.

The New TROUBLE MAKER Boat has everything you need to make a great catch possible. All gear and tackle will be provided for the trip, along with bait and a complimentary fish-cleaning service at the end of the trip.

Whitecap Charters also offers catering service – if you are too busy, the captain will gladly pick up lunch and drinks for you for an *Extra Fee*

Although the day of our trip, we had a little misunderstanding, Captain Kent called and spoke to me about our experience. I felt like he really truly cared. I am fully satisfied after our conversation and would book with Whitecap Charters again. It’s hard to find people who care, so if you are looking to book with someone who does, there’s no need to look any further. Thank you Captain Kent.

Response from Captain

Heather, I'm glad we got the talk about about some of the problems that arose and get them cleared up with you. Sorry for make not explaining everything but I thought fishing booker had that covered. Like we talked about what you thought was an overcharge, being the 3.5% service fee that is charged. If there is a next time and I hope there will be please call if you have any concerns. Thanks and FISH ON CAPT. KENT
