Great fishing trip!
6 hour trip AM on July 9, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
Captain Nik and his first mate Wyatt were great. Knowledgable and professional.
The boat was large enough so we were not in each others way. He was great with my grandson answering a lot of questions from him.
The fishing equipment and tackle were all supplied for us. We had 11 poles in the water at once fishing for King Salmon.
Went in the morning which is the best time to catch them according to our captain and we did!
We caught 10 King Salmon ranging from 12 pounds to our biggest at 20 pounds! Plus we caught a Steelhead at about 4 pounds.
Just a great day on the water which we won’t forget thanks to our captain and on line charter!
They were friendly and put us at ease. They cleaned them all for us.
Highly recommend them to everybody.

Great time fishing on Lake Michigan!
6 Hour Trip (PM) on July 18, 2025 • 3 adults
We had a great time fishing with Captain Nik! The boat was fully stocked for a good fishing trip. It started a little slow but he worked hard to find us a good fishing location. He set everything up for us and once we got going we were reeling in fish after fish.
He was also great with answering any questions we had and sharing his insight on fishing.
Looking forward to our next opportunity to fish with Captain Nik and would recommend him to anyone looking to fish on Lake Michigan.

Great day fishing on Lake Michigan!
6 hour trip AM on August 31, 2025 • 4 adults
We went salmon fishing out of Grand Haven, MI, with On the Line Charters August 30th. Captain Nick and Colin did a great job. They were very efficient. They had 13 lines in the water and we had 16 fish on the line. We boated 7 Chinook salmon, 3 Coho salmon and 2 Steelhead.
We had a great time and the guys were really nice.
We will be back.

No Quit in Capt Nik
6 hour trip AM on July 22, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
While in a quadruple header (fighting four fish at once) the net slid off the boat. Captain Nik did whatever it took to land fish the rest of the morning. Dangling himself off the back of the boat and being resourceful with what he had to ensure we did not lose any fish at the back of the boat. Great experience!!!
