Great Experience Despite Tough Weather
6 Hour Trip – Angler's Package on August 12, 20262 adults

We had a great experience fishing with Captain Pete. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard throughout the trip to put us on fish. We hooked six and were able to boat two. Captain Pete kept changing tactics and trying different approaches as conditions changed. Unfortunately, the weather became a factor and we had to come in early, but that was certainly beyond his control. Even with the challenging conditions, Captain Pete gave it his best effort and made the trip enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and hardworking captain. 5 stars!

4 Hour Trip – Get Hooked! on July 2, 20253 adults1 child

Captain Pete was extremely nice and got us some good fish. Coming later in the year we knew there wasn't a good chance of getting into salmon, but even managed to get a Coho. As long as you follow the map to find the pickup area you can't miss it. I 100% recommend Port Franks Charters and hope to be able to do it again!

Capt. Pete grew up in Port Franks and lives in the community full time. He learned his love of fishing from his father and has over 40 years of experience fishing the southern basin of Lake Huron. As an avid waterman, a fully licensed and insured marine captain, you can be assured of a safe, fun, and productive fishing charter with Capt. Pete as your guide. The captain's favorite species to target would be Chinook Salmon. It's not native to Lake Huron and its numbers are low, but the pure power these fish demonstrate is amazing.
