Spend a beautiful day of fishing in Saginaw Bay and have a fun and enjoyable trip together with Big Bobber Charters! You and Captain Robert Dunning will meet in Manistee, Michigan, and head out to the bay to search for some prized fish to catch. The grounds are fish-rich and the nature is breathtaking, so come aboard and have a memorable fishing experience with Captain Big Bobber Charters!

Your trip starts on a 26’ Wellcraft Coastal cuddy cabin that can sit up to 5 guests. It runs on twin 200 HP Yamaha engines, is equipped with downriggers, spearfishing gear, a fighting chair, and a livewell, and also uses modern navigation technology for a safe and quick trip to the fish. The boat’s got a portable toilet and features a refrigerator.

You and Captain Robert will be searching nearby waters for various Salmon. To attract them, you’ll be trolling. You get to keep all the fish you catch and you’re free to bring kids with you aboard.

Captain Robert will cover you for all the rods, reels, tackle, and lures. He’ll also provide snacks and drinks and will clean and fillet your catch, at no extra charge. You should just bring your fishing licenses before you arrive at the dock.

Captain Robert Dunning is a Marine Corps veteran that has a passion for fishing, and he looks forward to sharing a fantastic fishing experience with you! Join Big Bobber Charters for an amazing day on the water!

Half Day With Big Bobber

We had a great time with Captain Bob and First Mate Jeff. Morning seas were rough, but we made it out and got our lines in. Bob was great at communication leading up to, and during the trip. Would definitely recommend!
