6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 18, 2025 • 4 adults
4 of us did 2 morning trips. Caught fish both days, some good sizes. Taking plenty home with us. Joe was our captain each day with Jeremy as our 1st mate. Both guys got us ready to go and did great helping us land the salmon. I did 2 days last year, plan on coming back.

6 Hour Trip (AM) on September 5, 2023 • 4 adults
We planned a birthday trip to fish lake MI and due to weather our character was canceled. We were able to book this trip a few days out. Our captain and first mate were awesome! They answered all my questions and gave us clear directions! They even had a boat dog (tiger) who made my non-fishing teenage daughters day! We had a great time and learned a few things doing it. We enjoyed a variety of catch, even with my typical bad luck! Thanks again!
