Captain Wes Smith has over 25 years of experience fishing in Lake Michigan. Wes is U.S. Coast Guard certified and operates a beautiful fully equipped 33’ Tiara boat out of Historic Fishtown in Leland, Michigan. We target King and Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and more with professional and proven tackle and equipment.

Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced angler, Capt Wes is committed to ensuring that your crew is comfortable, smiling and hollering, “Fish on!”, all day long.

Size matters aboard Pier Pressure Charters! Aboard our 33’ tiara your crew will be comfortable and have ample room and seating with a restroom onboard and other amenities you won’t see in a smaller boat.

Catch a memory with a proven, professional, and all-around fun charter today!

FISH ON!!!

What an awesome day..
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 29, 20252 adults
Capt. Wes was on time and ready to go the moment we stepped on board. After the meet and greet, we threw lines and we were off. The day was just gorgeous, unusual for this time of year, Which made the trip even more enjoyable. After leaving the harbor, Wes got gear ready and we threw lines. We were only 10 minutes into the trip and we got bit. Big lackers around 100 feet. I didn’t even have time to properly light my cigar. We hit limit around 45 mins. Wes changed course and we changed tackle. Off for silver fish. Unfortunately those evaded us except for 2 kings, which the wife caught, which were small, but really good eating. We ended the trip with good conversation, cleaned fish, and a few adult pops at the dock. All in all, a very good trip. I highly recommend Capt. Wes and his boat. Very clean and well appointed with all the gear for anytime of year.

What a great experience, Capt. Wes was confident and assuring that our trip would be nice, comfortable and safe. His experience glowed and flowed out with normalcy. We caught fish one right after the other and had a lifetime memory etched in our lives. Thanks Captain Wes
