Looking for a charter can be difficult especially when there are so many to choose from.  Look no further and book with Pro Fish 'n Sea Charters and spend a morning or afternoon on beautiful Lake Michigan with captain Josh Metiva.  Josh has been fishing all over Lake Michigan for 2 decades.  There is ample space for up to 6 anglers on board – beginners, experienced, and kids. There is a spacious cabin for the ride out along with a refrigerator for the beverages and snacks you bring along. You might be wondering if you can bring alcohol – yes, you can, Captain Josh just asks that you don't bring any glass containers.

Things you should bring along for your trip: a cooler and ice for your catch (Captain Josh will clean and bag your catch once you get back from your fishing adventure), sweatshirt, rain jacket, and non-marking shoes like 'fishing' boots or tennis shoes. No work boots, please!

From May to September, you can expect to catch King Salmon, Coho, Lake Trout, and Steelhead. The use of all tackle, rods, and reels is included in the price of the trip, all you need to do is buy a fishing license which can be done on the Michigan DNR website or purchased at any sporting goods store. The time to book is now because peak season dates fill up fast, so don't wait long! Captain Josh looks forward to meeting you and taking you on a trip of a lifetime!

Pro Fish N Sea was a fantastic time!
Morning charter on July 10, 20256 adults
Had a great time fishing with Captain Josh and First Mate Ben. They were professional, answered a lot of questions, and very accommodating. We got on the fish quick and it was none stop. They cleaned our fish and recommended a place to have it cooked . I fed a family outing of 16 people and still have 5 bags of fish to give to the family. Great experience, highly recommended

Great experience with my family
Morning charter on August 31, 20255 adults
Wow! What a great experience, our Captain Josh has a life time of experience and it paid off with all the fish we caught. He definitely knows how to set his rigs to caught a lot of fish. His competitiveness with other captains in the area show he’s there to work and help us catch the most fish possible. Thanks again.

Josh and his first mate were knowledgable and great hosts. We caught 6 sizable kings and a few coho's. Most importantly, the two of them were wonderful with my 8 y.o. son who caught his 1st salmon. It was a day that he'll remember forever... Thanks guys for a great experience!

My wife and two daughters are inexperienced at fishing so we figured we would do a charter. This far exceeded expectations. We caught steelhead, salmon, and trout. Josh and Stacy were just awesome. Felt like we were meeting up with old friends. Just a great time and great fishing
