Dog Bone Charters
At Dog Bone Charters, Captain Greg Prieur wants you to have a fun and safe adventure. Being a Michigan native, Capt. Greg has been fishing in the area his whole life. He decided to turn his lifelong passion into a profession and became a licensed guide. His trips are available every day from May to the end of October.
Capt. Greg specializes in trolling, which is one of the most productive fishing techniques in Manistee. Your main targets will be Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, and Chinook Salmon. You will use cut bait to catch Salmon, which is something this hard-fighting fish cannot resist as it has a voracious appetite.
You’ll be fishing on a 30’ Cherokee sportfishing boat, powered by 2 strong 350 HP Crusader engines. She accommodates a group of 6 guests and has plenty of seating space. While you wait for the fish to bite, you can rest under the hardtop, or soak up the sun at the back of the boat. The boat also features a private toilet, icebox for the catch, and downriggers.
At the end of your trip, Captain Greg will hang your catch for trophy pictures and then clean and package your fish for you to take home. Feel free to bring your own cooler for snacks and drinks. Each person 17 and older needs to purchase a valid Michigan fishing license before the trip.
Your adventure starts in Manistee marina. There’s free parking nearby. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to meet the crew and load your stuff on the boat.

Our full day trip was canceled on Wednesday due to high waves. Capt. Greg was able to move us to a Friday evening instead. a little rearrangement to the itinerary and we were fit it in on our schedule. Caption and first mate both made maximum effort to catch fish which we did. Would definitely book again if back that way! Gary from Tennessee.

Cpt Greg and Chris both had their own lingo. They’ve obviously worked together many times and got us on fish quickly. I asked a billion questions like how do you tie on a copper line onto a reel and whisk shadows on the depth finder are fish. They were happy to teach me everything I wanted to know.

Fun crew and caught fish!!
This was our first experience with Dog Bone charter, Captain Greg and first mate were excellent! While we didn’t limit out, we caught a lot of salmon. We had 5 fishermen and the boat was very spacious and comfortable. We would highly recommend Dog Bone for your salmon charter!

Awesome trip with Dog Bone Charters
Booked a father/son trip with my 17 yr old through Dog Bone out of Manistee. The trip was epic. We limited out and had an amazing time doing it. Captain Doug and First Mate Chris were great. They knew where the fish were and what they were biting. Captain Doug got phone calls throughout the 6 hour evening trip from other fishermen asking questions or providing info and updates. He is as in the know as it gets. Chris and Doug both worked hard to ensure a successful trip, but were laid back and a joy to share a boat with. Thank you guys for a trip that we will talk about for the rest of our lives!
