Murphy's Law Charter Service

Murphy’s Law is captained by Brian Murphy who has been fishing the Great Lakes for better than four decades. There’s a long line of anglers who broke their personal records with Capt. Brian, which is why so many of them return year after year. This charter also covers all the bases for novice anglers, so it’s a great way to learn a new skill and catch your first fish on the same day.

Murphy’s Law is a 37’ Tiara with a flybridge. This convertible boat is powered with twin 440 HP Yan-Mar diesels. The engines this powerful will take you to any fishing spot with ease. There’s enough room for 6 guests to join, so bring your friends and family along. The boat also features state of the art Garmin electronics and Shimano and Okuma tackle. For your convenience, there’s also a private bathroom.

Spend the day trolling, looking for lake species to bite. You can catch Chinook and Coho Salmon and two types of Trout - Steelhead and Lake. Great thing about the catch is that you get to keep it after the trip, so bring your cooler to keep it fresh. You can also start looking for a great local restaurant and have them prepare your fish immediately.

All fishing equipment is included in the price. You’ll need to purchase your fishing license and prepare some snacks and drinks for the day. Kids are welcome to join, just advise on their age, so life vests in the right sizes can be prepared.

Take your bag full of Trout and Salmon fillets. Murphy’s Law Charter Service is here to make it happen.

I've been fishing my entire life. Nothing better than the look on a kids face when you flop a big Chinook on the deck, or after the trip, the customer says that’s the biggest fish dad (grandpa) ever caught, and he’s in his eighties, and been fishing his entire life.

The fish you can target

Lake Trout Lake Trout
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Salmon (Chinook) Chinook Salmon
Salmon (Coho) Coho Salmon
