Whitecap Charters-Petoskey
No trip to Lake Michigan comes complete without Whitecap Charters. This family-friendly company is owned and operated by Captain Kent Seymour, an experienced angler and a patient guide. His crew won't be saving their words to introduce you to the basics of fishing – they will work hard to make sure you fill your cooler and make a great catch possible.
The season begins in May and goes through October. You will be using light tackle in spring and summer and will then switch to heavy tackle fishing later in the season.
The list of your potential catches will include Coho and Chinook Salmon, Walleye, Lake and Brown Trout, Yellow Perch, and Steelhead. On your day out on Lake Michigan, you will be using high-quality gear and tackle by Shimano, Okuma, and Ugly Stik.
The 'TROUBLE MAKER' is a 29' Bayliner Trophy Pro cabin boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers. She is fully outfitted with everything you need for a productive day on Lake Michigan, from top-notch electronics to a private restroom.
All trips include the use of gear, tackle, bait, and fish cleaning service.
Catering is also available for an EXTRA FEE for those busy anglers who have no time to grab lunch and drinks with them.

Captain Kent was super and very personable. That guy knows his stuff and put us on some fantastic fishing. Put some nice Kings & Lake Trout in the cooler. This was truly a wonderful time on the lake. Thank you very much Captain Kent Lee & Linda

Josh, Thanks. For fishing with us at white cap charters while you're in northern michigan. Hope to see you in the future. Captain Kent and Crew
The bite was slow for all boats, all evening. However, Kent he put in a little extra time and we put 4 quality fish in the boat in about 20 minutes! That kind of effort is appreciated!

My father, brother, and I had a nice time out with Captain Adam. We caught our limit for lake trout and tried for salmon, but it was too early in the evening. The boat was nicely equipped, and the dock was easy to find. Parking was easier than I thought it would be. It is one street over from the marina and wasn’t crowded which I thought it would be because the main street it connects to was jampacked at that time of day. This was our first charter trip so a bit more information about what was happening would have been helpful. When all the rods started getting set up, we weren’t actually sure we’d be doing anything at all except watching. But as it turns out, we are the ones to reel the fish in. An FYI, if you’re new like us.
Sorry we don't get a lot of first-timers and we sometimes as captains and doing it for so long forget that there are newbies. Glad you had a great time and the fish were cooperative. Thanks again for fishing with whitecap charters of Charlevoix hope to see you in the future. Captain Kent and crew
