Lake Michigan has many fishing adventures to offer to both beginner and pro anglers, and if you’re eager to explore its waters, Griffin Sport Fishing Charters is an excellent choice! With skilled Captain Brian Griffin to lead the way, you’re in for a productive fishing trip.
Your guide has been casting his lines in Lake Michigan for over 15 years, and he enjoyed it so much, he decided to make it his full-time job. He will take you to the best fish hideouts to catch anything from Coho and Chinook Salmon to Rainbow, Brown, and Lake Trout.
Delicious Salmon are abundant here, and you can easily hook your next personal record, both when it comes to the size and the quantity of the fish. Trout also come in formidable numbers, but Salmon remains the most prized catch. After the trip, you will get your catch cleaned and filleted.
You will be fishing out of a 36’ Peacemaker – an offshore sport fisher that can comfortably sit up to 6 people. Outfitted with twin 350 HP Crusader engines, the vessel will get you to the best bite in no time. There’s a private toilet on board and plenty of room for everybody to fish at the same time.
Capt. Brian will provide you with the quality fishing equipment, including Shimano and Abu Garcia rods and reels. A friendly first mate will tell you what to do when the reels start screaming and if needed, he’ll help you bring your catch into the boat. He works for tips, so a 15–20% is a customary way of showing your gratitude.
When going on a trip with Griffin Sport Fishing Charters, you will need to bring your fishing license, a spare cooler for your catch, as well as food and drinks. Kids are welcome to join you – as long as they’re 5 and older – there’s more than enough space and fish for everyone. Wet your lines in Lake Michigan and catch something worth bragging about!

Capt Griffin and crew were exceptional in providing a wonderful fishing experience. They were relentless in their pursuit of the hot spots to allow us great opportunities to catch some fish. We came away with a great haul. Thank you so much for a great experience on Lake Michigan. Would highly recommend him!!

Captain Brian and his First mate (Jack) did an amazing job guiding our family. Both are very good with helping kids and adults experience salmon fishing. We caught a mixed bag of fish (kings, Coho and steelhead) on an afternoon trip today. I'd recommend Brian for anyone wanting to go with a charter and/with kids learning how to fish.

We booked the day before because we were looking for something to kill the time. Got out on the water and had an amazing time with friends, chatting with the crew, and catching fish! Very informative throughout the trip. We had a great time!

The Captain and first mate were super nice and very knowledgable. Had a blast and caught a ton of fish. The boat/cabin is very comfortable and clean as well. Best Lake Michigan charter I’ve been on.

Brian and Jack found good area to fish and we were one fish shy of our limit so we were very pleased. Im sure we would have gotten there if we didn’t request to leave an hour early due to the heat. Fun experience!
