Solid Fishing Day
Half Day Trip (AM) - Charlevoix on July 1, 20266 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.

Our family group of six went out for a morning charter and stared catching fish right away! Not only did we catch great fish, everyone caught at least one fish. The largest was an 18lb Lake trout among other large trout and chinook too. Highly recommend, we had a trip to remember.
