Great experience!
Half Day Trip – Trolling on August 4, 20263 adults

There were 3 of us and we had a total of 15 fish on but did not land 4. Certainly not the captain's fault. The boat was clean and well organized. Capt. John never stopped hustling to keep us in fish. He kept trying various lures and methods to get us fish. His first mate, his wife, did a great job operating the vessel. Both were very pleasant and fun to talk with. We had a great time!

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Captain Jon has been fishing for over 40 years. He started fishing off his uncle's dock in South Haven when he was 4 years old. The excitement of catching his first fish hooked him for life. Capt. Jon has a wealth of knowledge of all the Great Lakes. He works hard to provide an experience that will leave you wanting more.
