With Whitecap Charters, the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan will be all yours. The captain operates from various locations on the lake and always follows the bite. He uses the finest gear and tackle to make sure everyone on board has the best chances of landing the fish of their dreams.

Join the crew early in the season or wrap it up later in October. Light tackle is used in spring and summer, while in fall, the crew switches to heavy tackle. You will be able to use high-quality rods and reels by Shimano, Ugly Stik, and Okuma to land Coho and Chinook Salmon, Steelhead, Lake and Brown Trout, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

It will take you around half an hour to drop the lines and fish. The trip will take place on the New 29ft Trouble Maker cuddy cabin with twin 200 HP Murcury engines. She is a spacious vessel which can accommodate up to 6 anglers. The 29ft Troghy Pro features modern electronics, professional accessories, bait, and even a private restroom – a much-needed thing when spending your day on the water.

All bait, gear, and fish cleaning service will be included in the price. Catering service is also available for an Extra Cost – just let the crew know in advance.
Tips are also greatly appreciated by the captain and crew.

Best morning fishing ever.
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 6, 20202 adults

I should have booked the whole day, my wife and I had a great time . Captain Art and the first mate were and patient. The day started off slow however Captain Art knew where the fish were biting and off we went. My wife and I have caught plenty walleyes they’re nothing compared to the fight the lake trout put up. Captain Art and his first mate were also full of information about the area the best places to visit and eat, booking Now for next year a full day this time.

Excellent late season trip
4 Hour Trip – Cisco (AM) on October 8, 20213 adults

The trip was excellent. Weather stayed dry and the bay was smooth. The Cisco were hitting quite well, plus a Coho or two. Captain Art was terrific and made our trip top notch. Looking forward to fishing with him again.
