    Solid Fishing Day

    Half Day Trip (AM) - Charlevoix on July 1, 2026 • 6 adults

    The sun broke over Lake Michigan as the water came alive beneath the boat. Captain Russell put us on the fish as the reel screamed, and the fight was on. A trophy salmon and enough trout to feed a family of 12 for days.

    Half Day Evening trip with Captain Adam!

    Half Day (PM) - Little Traverse Bay on August 26, 2021 • 4 adults

    Our group had a wonderful time fishing with Adam. We are already talking about another trip. Adam was attentive and did a wonderful job of making sure that my wife who had broken foot was comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip. Great job of explaining easier ways of handling the rods and reels for those in our group who would never handled one of those. Overall it was a five star outing.
