If you’d like to spend an enjoyable day on a lake and chase various interesting species, then Fast Times Sport Fishing Charters is the right choice for you. A place of many good fishing spots, Lake Michigan not only offers a wide range of freshwater species to catch but is also distinguished by beautiful nature and rich marine life. Captain Nick Kandes will take you to the best spots on the lake and make sure you have a lovely time on the water and return with a fine catch. Join him and explore the beauties of fishing in Manistee, Michigan!

Your trip will start on a 31’ Tiara 3100 Open offshore sport fishing boat. It runs on two 270 HP 350 Crusader engines with a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots and can sit up to 6 anglers. The boat’s got a full-featured navigation system, toilet, refrigerator, and downriggers.

As for the needed gear, you’re covered with rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Captain Nick will also clean and fillet your catch free of charge. You should just bring your licenses, food, and drinks.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 17, 20265 adults
Hit our limit of salmon/trout in about 3 hours. If you're able to book with this charter you won't be disappointed. This is the best of the best for manistee fishing charters. Absolutely knows his stuff and if the fish are biting he will get you on them. If I fish out of manistee again I will book this charter again without hesitation.
Reported catch:
Lake Trout
Coho Salmon

What an awesome experience!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 7, 20254 adults
Captain Nick did it all! No first mate. Watching the method of big lake troll fishing was like watching an artist at work. Simply amazing. My heart was set on primarily Salmon. We were not very successful at reeling them in that morning but then came the trout! I had never eaten trout before and captain Nick showed me a recipe that he says won’t disappoint. The man knows what he is talking about! Grilled some up and it is was truly some of the most outstanding fish I have ever had. Nick is the best and I would not hesitate to book again with Fast Times Charter Fishing.or refer to friends and family. Thanks Nick! Deb W. in IN

We've been on many charters throughout the years, and Captain Nick has been the best one yet, quick on his feet when he sees one get hooked, very patient while reeling them in and helpful to first time charter fisherman! Had a blast, looking forward to going out again next year.
