Head out to Whitehall, Michigan and spend a wonderful day on the water with Third Coast Charters. You’ll be in the safe hands of Captain Todd Venema, a skilled and experienced angler who’ll make sure you have the best possible experience. There’s a huge variety of fishing spots you can visit. From rivers and lakes to inshore and offshore waters to flats, reefs, and wrecks, you’ll have loads of excellent fishing opportunities.

Your journey will start on a brand new 22’ Lund performance fishing boat. It’s powered by a 350 HP Mercury engine and can sit up to 6 guests. The quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio make navigation easy and safe. The boat’s equipped with downriggers in case you bump into Salmon. The onboard livewell will supply you with live bait, and there will also be a first mate present for the most of your trip.

You’ll chase Walleye, Yellow Perch, Northern Pike, and Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. Using light tackle, you can try out trolling, spinning, jigging, as well as handline and ice fishing. Third Coast Charters is family-friendly, so grab your kids as well and spend some wonderful time on the water together. You can choose whether to keep or release the fish you catch.

Captain Todd provides you with all the fishing gear, which means tackle, rods, reels, lures, and live bait. At the end of the trip, he can also clean and fillet your catch for free. Before you leave, don’t forget to bring your licenses and be sure to pack some food and drinks if you wish.

Book today and have a super fun time fishing Michigan’s waters with Third Coast Charters.

Unforgettable Trip, Absolutely A-1Service and attention

VERIFIED

Where do I Start, Captain Todd made this trip one that my son will never forget. He communicated much needed details before I booked, and once our reservation was final he made sure everything was taken care of. He was timely, professional and the host was clean and ran beautifully. Todd chose a fishing area where he knew catches were guaranteed and educated my son the whole trip. My son and husband said the huge walleye they brought in were well beyond their expectations. Highly recommend Third Coast Charters!
