Frankfort Fishing Charters - Chromeseekers

Chromeseekers is a professional sport fishing company throughout the state of Michigan. Join Captain Dan who’s been fishing the Fishing ever since he could hold a rod. He’ll always find the fish he targets, no matter how good their hiding spot is. Come catch one of the biggest fish of your life.

We just bought a brand new Hewescraft Ocean Pro. This boat is awesome and will be a fish-killing machine. Make sure to book your date soon as we will fill up. Prices are adjusted for the boat.

If you’re hoping to catch big and heavy fish, get ready for a hard fight with King Salmon. If you’re hoping to fill out your bucket with more fish, target different types of Trout, such as Steelhead, Lake, and Brown. No matter what you want to catch, trolling works best for any of these species.

The captain will cover your rods, reels, and lures. After the trip, Dan will clean your catch, but you can always tip him if you’re happy with the service. Don’t forget to purchase your fishing license and feel free to pack any snacks and drinks you like.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Dan Stewart has been fishing for as long as he can remember. From SE Michigan to NW Michigan, we have a boat for everything. As a result, he knows all the hiding spots for favorites including Steelhead, Chinook, Coho Salmon and walleye throughout the state of Michigan. He'll easily accommodate both experienced anglers and novices and looks forward to giving his guests a welcome escape to nature. You will have such a great time with Captain Dan that you will be booking other trips the rest of the year around the great state of Michigan. My season starts in the Nw for Steelhead. In Mid April I move to the Detroit River for walleye. In May I move to the St Clair river for walleye. When Lake St Clair heats up I move over there. Around Mid June I end the walleye fishing and move back to the Nw chasing a variety of fish. We fish crystal lake and all other inland lakes near by. We are also fishing Lake Michigan for Salmon and Trout. We follow the salmon up river then back to steelhe
