The boat uses a wireless trolling motor for easier fishing and has got a livewell.

The species you can encounter during your trip are Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass, And perch. Using light tackle, you can chase them by drift fishing. You can choose whether you’ll keep your catch or simply release it back into the water. As said, kids are more than welcome to join aboard.

Captain Dan will supply you with all the tackle, live bait, and lures. For an additional fee of $2 per fish, he can clean and fillet your catch. Before you leave, just make sure to have fishing licenses, snacks, and drinks.

    Perfect family trip on Crystal Lake

    4 Hour – Worm Dunking Crystal Am on July 29, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Dan did an excellent job communicating before the trip. He took myself and my three boys (ages 7,9, and 11) on Crystal Lake for a four hour morning trip. He was patient and kind with the kids and kept them on the fish all day! We must have caught over 100 rock bass, often two at a time! I can’t recommend this trip enough for amateur fishers! Dan also cleaned the fish at the end for an extra fee. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

    Morning fishing with Captain Dan!

    3 Hour – Worm Dunking Kid Trip (AM) on June 23, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Our family had an excellent adventure with Captain Dan on Crystal Lake. Dan took care of baiting and taking all the fish off the hooks and gave us great instruction. We had him clean all the fish afterwards which was worth every extra penny! We will definitely be contacting him on our next trip. Thanks, Captain Dan, for a great day!

    Half Day Trip on Crystal Lake

    5 Hour Trip – Worm Dunking (AM) on August 2, 2021 • 3 adults

    Took two of my Grandsons fishing with Captain Dan on Cyrstal Lake. We had a great time. The boys were catching Rock Bass one after the other as well as getting in some smallmouth bass action. Although the two boys are pretty capable fisherman...Captain Dan was an excellent host and guide keeping the boys baited up and catching fish which allowed me to do my own thing without worrying about taking care of the boys as well. Good Trip and would recommend to young and old alike.

    3 Hour – Intro Worm Dunking (4 Pm) on June 28, 2023 • 6 adults • 2 children

    A couple hours out on Crystal Lake MI with Chrome Seekers charter. Capt Dan had these young grand daughters touching perch and rock bass by the end of the trip. Decent midday action even after a cold front.

We caught so many fish we literally lost track of how many & left with great memories to cherish forever! Thanks Captain Dan! See ya next year!

Worm sink on Crystal Lake
4 Hour – Worm Dunking Crystal Am on July 23, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

We had the best time fishing with Captain Dan. Our boys love to fish, but as a family we are not very experienced. The 'worm sink' on Crystal Lake was perfect for us. We caught tons of fish (several big enough to keep). Our youngest son (9) is on the autism spectrum, and Dan did an amazing job relating to him. When we return to Crystal Lake, we plan on booking another charter with Chromeseekers.

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
