    Experienced and friendly crew, awesome fishing!

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (AM) on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    This was my first time going out on Lake Michigan to fish big game fish, and it was an awesome experience! Captain Dan and First Mate Ryan were super competent and went above and beyond to give us the best chance at catching fish as they could. And catch we did! We got a good bunch of king salmon and a steelhead trout, all pretty large! It was especially impressive, as apparently a lot of other charters were struggling to catch that day, but Dan found us a great spot. And Ryan did some magic with the rigging to help us keep more fish on hook, since that was another issue that'd been coming up. Not only that, but they were great conversation during the charter! And afterwards they gutted the fish for us very efficiently. Absolutely would go again!

    Excellent charter

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (AM) on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Dan and first mate Ryan were wonderful. It was my son‘s first lake fishing experience and the crew was patient and helpful and he was thrilled to catch some big king salmon! The crew was very knowledgeable, explaining all about fishing in Lake Michigan. The boat was comfortable for all of us. Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Dan.

    It was a fun trip!

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (PM) on August 14, 2026 • 6 adults

    Dan and Ryan were great! Very fun, personable and good with the kids. They also worked hard. The kids had a great time. We didn't catch any really big fish, but we did okay (6 total). The equipment was good. My only complaint is that the seats were really uncomfortable. I would bring a cushion to sit on next time. The kids all want to go again next year and that is the most important thing.

    Fantastic evening trip out of Frankfort

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (PM) on August 2, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had a great time with Daniel and his son who was working as first mate. The boat was very comfortable, spacious and was ideal for both fishing and great views of the lake. Dan worked hard to deliver on the sport fishing aspect of the trip, specifically targeting kings. We ended up with a nice variety of fish including a large king, a steelhead, a coho, and a nice sized lake trout. Overall we had a great time and have nothing but the highest recommendation for Hooked Up. We certainly will be looking forward to our next time out. Thanks!

    Great time!

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (PM) on August 7, 2024 • 6 adults • 1 child

    This was our first ever charter fishing trip. It was my husband, myself, our children and my 92 year old grandpa. We had a great time. Captain Daniel and his son Ryan were sos knowledgeable and very helpful to those of us who didn’t really know what we were doing. My grandpa has been a fisherman his whole life and has slowed down because of age. He had a blast and wants to go again next year! In total we caught 10 salmon, both coho and king. Can’t wait to cook them up!

    First Salmon for everyone!

    Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (PM) on August 14, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Great duo, Captain Dan and Ryan are great with kids and know their fishing territory! Like clockwork, dusk fishing had multiple on and even hit a 17lb King in the bunch. Nabbed a beautiful coho for an early evening starter. Jay fillets everything for you with surgical precision!

Unreal action
Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (AM) on August 11, 2026 • 2 adults

Any wise fisher would protect their secret productive spots so that it don't get blown up. I am inclined to do the same here. Fundamentally I do not want to tell you about Hooked Up because they my "secret spot" and I don't want you to blow it up. Soooo.... SSHH, don't tell anyone else, but every trip I've had with them has been great. On our last trip the action was unreal, we had out limit in an hour, just keep it to yourself :)

Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (AM) on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults

my dad and I had a stellar time with the father-son duo of Captain Dan and First Mate Ryan. beautiful boat, got us out ahead of schedule, got fish on as soon as we started putting out lines, filleted our catch to perfection when we got back. Captain Dan is super personable and a great conversation, really makes sure his clients are taken care of. highly suggest going out with Hooked Up if you have the chance!

5/5 will go again!
Half Day – Salmon/Lake Trout (AM) on June 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

We had a fantastic day out early in the season with Captain Dan on Hooked Up. These guys really knew where to fish and worked hard to find them. They kept a dozen rods in the water the whole time and were super friendly and patient with our kids (first-time anglers). The boat was well set up and comfortable for our group of 6. Great trip, highly recommend!
