North Coast Charter Service

Are you ready to get back to your roots and have a wholesome fishing adventure? Join North Coast Charter Service with Captain Mike Chaffin for a trip you’ll never forget.

Step on board the 24’ Grady White boat, a classic vessel that was restored in 2015. This boat can hold you and up to 4 of your fishing friends. There is a 265 HP Volvo engine on board that will get you to the fishing grounds before you know it.

This boat has full safety and navigational equipment so you can fish with peace of mind. The fishfinder, paired with Capt. Mike’s extensive knowledge of the area, will give you that extra edge when fishing.

The star of the show on these trips are Walleye. Capt. Mike is specialized in catching this fish and will make sure you have fun reeling them in. The captain will let you know about the current regulations regarding how many Walleye you can take home and of what size.

Everyone will have a great day out – if this is your first trip, Capt. Mike is happy to teach you the tricks of the trade. Children have to be over 8, and although there are life vests available, please let the captain know the age of the children before the trip so he can bring along the correct size.

Included in the price are the rods and reels for the day. These are top quality and won’t let you down when reeling in your catch. You are welcome to bring along a small cooler for your food and drink. You’ll need to purchase a fishing license before the day.

Book now for a great day out with North Coast Charter Service. You’ll have loads of fun enjoying the stunning scenery while reeling in your fish – the cherry on top to any vacation!
