Come aboard Jerryriggin Sportfishing Charters for a fun adventure on Lake Michigan. With Captain Jeremy, you can count on a fun trip. He's got over 3 decades of experience fishing on Lake Michigan and multiple first-place and top-five wins on Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Ontario as both captain and crew. Kids, beginners, and seasoned anglers will love this boat and learning from such a great captain. Join him in Manistee and embark on your adventure!

The captain's 31' Cherokee offshore sport fishing boat was made in Michigan and comes equipped with all you'll need to catch some fish on the great lake. It's got a bathroom, bed, and a ton of fishing gear. There's space for 6 anglers on board to fish comfortably as well as an enclosed cabin to protect you from the elements.

You and the crew will have lots of fun chasing Lake and Rainbow Trout as well as Coho and Chinook Salmon. To attract them, you'll be trolling on light and heavy tackle.

At the end of your fishing adventure, Captain Jeremy will clean and fillet your catch of the day. Rods, reels, and all the tackle are included in the price, but please remember to have your fishing license before you come aboard. You'll also want to bring your own food and drinks for the trip. Light alcohol such as beer is fine, just make sure it is in cans only.

Also, be prepared for the weather – it's usually chilly and damp in the morning, and then it warms up as the sun rises. Light rain is also not uncommon.

Captain Jeremy can't wait to welcome you aboard for some great memories!

15 Fish, First Place, and a Damn Good Morning on Lake Michigan
Prime time on August 28, 20266 adults

We booked Jerryriggin with Captain Jeremy for the morning of our friend’s bachelor party and ran two boats for the trip. Captain Jeremy put us on the fish and finished the morning with 15 fish, which was the most a seasoned pro in our group had ever caught on a charter. This boat also came out on top for the day’s total catch, which made the trip even better. Captain Jeremy knew what he was doing, worked hard, and kept things moving without wasting time. It was a solid morning on Lake Michigan and exactly what we were looking for. If you want a straightforward, hard-working captain who knows how to find fish, Jerryriggin is worth booking.

We caught 13 salmon and 1 lake trought. It was evident captain Jeremy loves fishing the way he switched out lures and had everyone maneuvering the ppoles and fishing lines when we had two or 3 fish on at the same time witch happened multiple times! will definitely recommend and come back annually with Jerryriggin!

Great fishing experience for first timers
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on June 6, 20265 adults

Had an awesome time fishing on Lake Michigan. We had 5 guys in our group and caught 20 fish in less than 2 hours! The captain Jeremy put us right on the fish from the start, and we were reeling them in almost immediately. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and he made sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and successful day of fishing!

Reported catch:

Birthday Fishing Trip - Caught our limit 🎉🐟
September – October on October 5, 20252 adults

Had an unforgettable birthday fishing out on the water with Jerryriggin charters. Huge shoutout to Captain Jeremy and Daniel ,first mate crew — professional, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. We battled some big waves, but it only added to the adventure. Despite the rough water, we caught our limit and had a few exciting fights with some big ones. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip — great company, great crew, and a cooler full of fish to show for it. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a real-deal fishing experience. Definitely one for the books!!!! 🎂⚓️🐠

Bountiful Trip!
Prime time on August 29, 20266 adults

Captain Jeremy made sure we had a bountiful catch. His knowledge and experience were spot on. We almost tagged out and he tried really hard to get the last couple of tags filled, but the fish were onto him. Looking forward to another trip with him in the future.
