Chromeseekers – Crystal Lake Adventure

Chromeseekers invites you and your family to spend a day in Beulah, Michigan and have a lovely time together fishing Crystal Lake. If you’re a parent who just wants to get your kids out fishing but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, this is your opportunity. The techniques you’ll be using are as simple as possible to make for an enjoyable fishing experience for the kiddos and anyone else. Let Captain Dan Stewart do the work so you can enjoy the time with your kids! 1 adult per 2 children is recomemded. Parents must be on trip.

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 24’ Hewescraft fishing boat that can sit up to 6 anglers. It runs on a 250 engine and its GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio electronics allow for safe movement on the water and will keep you on the right course all the time. 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.

Join Chromeseekers and spend a wonderful time on the lakes in NW Michigan!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
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
