Enjoy a day of fishing with Coast To Coast Outfitters on the stunning waters of the rivers of West Michigan! They strive to make your day on the water something you’ll never forget. Captain Mackire Gould is a local angler who has been fishing for over 15 years. He’ll make sure to take you out to the most prolific spots and show you a great time.

The boat can take up to 3 anglers who can all fish at the same time, so it’s the perfect vessel for a relaxing day on the river with a few friends. The captain will bring a water container for your catch, along with ice in the summer to make sure it stays fresh.

The local rivers hide some truly productive fishing grounds. Capt. Mackire will put you on some of the most prized freshwater species, including Smallmouth Bass, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Salmon. He’ll also clean and fillet any of the catch you wish to take back home with you, so you can taste the fruits of your labor upon return.

All the fishing equipment will be provided for you on board – Okuma and Redington rods, reels, and tackle. If you’d like to try out fishing in the area, Capt. Mackire can provide you with the equipment, just make sure to arrange it with him in advance. Bring your kids along for the ride, and have some great family fun.

All you need to do is buy a fishing license before the trip, and you’re ready for your newest fishing adventure!

Captain Mackire has been fishing for over 15 years, working in the river area for 5 years and has been licensed for over 3 year. The favorite part of his job is just being on the water, and seeing the customers and kids catch their first fish is what keeps him going. He spends hours making sure his tackle is 100%. "I want to be the best I can."
