Dan Dabrowski5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing Trip with Captain Nic
6 hour trip AM on August 6, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a great experience with Captain Nic and On the Line Charter Fishing! Our family of four, including our 13-year-old twins, did the 6-hour half-day trip and had an awesome time. We ended up catching 11 fish! Captain Nic was fantastic and handled everything from driving the boat to setting up the lines and keeping us fishing throughout the trip. He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for our family. If you’re looking for a fun family fishing charter, we would definitely recommend Captain Nic and On the Line Charter Fishing. Great experience and some great memories on the water!
Jeffrey CaspersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCapt Nik is great
6 hour trip AM on September 2, 2026 • 3 adultsCaught limit of steelhead and salmon within hours. Capt Nik served the team very ably by himself, got us on fish before sunrise and limited out half way thru reservation. Non stop action and a great day out on the lake!

Gregory Schroeder5.0VerifiedGreat time fishing on Lake Michigan!
6 Hour Trip (PM) on July 18, 2025 • 3 adultsWe 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.
Marty Pallante5.0VerifiedGreat day fishing on Lake Michigan!
6 hour trip AM on August 31, 2025 • 4 adultsWe 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.
Kristi Wentz5.0VerifiedWhat a wonderful family experience!
6 hour trip AM on June 29, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Nik was a big part of making our family fishing experience a great adventure! It was our first time on a chartered boat, and he did not disappoint, we had a fish on a line within 5 minutes, then a few more back to back! From managing and setting all the poles to letting us know instantly when we had a fish on, to cleaning the fish and bagging them up to go in the end. What a thrilling time as a family out on the water! Thank you Captain Nik!
Nicolai Zvirbulis5.0VerifiedGreat experience
6 hour trip AM on July 27, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur Captain, Nik, was awesome. He is great with kids and is very knowledgeable about what he does. We ended up with 57 pounds of salmon, which he skillfully cleaned and bagged. I would recommend his charter to anyone. We will be back I

6 hour trip AM on July 12, 2025 • 2 adultsSuper pleased with the trip and Captain Nik! He showed us a GREAT DAY-catching multiple king salmons and one brown trout. We had a bit of a lull at one point, but he changed bait and tackle and we caught another two. Really fun day! Will be back.

Captain Nik did a great job finding fish for the girls. The girls were comprised of mother and five daughters. This was the first time they fished Lake Michigan. Captain Nik taught the girls how to use the equipment. He did such a good job that they were able to catch 10 salmon.
Caught limit of steelhead and salmon within hours. Capt Nik served the team very ably by himself, got us on fish before sunrise and limited out half way thru reservation. Non stop action and a great day out on the lake!
Captain Nic did a great job of putting us on the fish. Although our catch ratio was onlly at 30% we had 30 fish hit this morning making it an action packed morning for our crew.
Captain Nick was awesome again this year. Found the fish, boated most of them! we always enjoy his expertise and friendliness.
