Awesome Day on Bending Limits with Captain TJ
6 Hour Trip (AM) MAX 4 on July 6, 2022 • 2 adults • 2 children

Our family booked this trip to celebrate our son’s 13th Birthday and we had a great time! Captain TJ and his crew member were outstanding! Our kids had a phenomenal time and really enjoyed the day! They are already talking about our next trip on Bending Limits! I would highly recommend this fishing charter if you have kids or inexperienced fisherman/woman. The crew was very friendly, engaging, and helpful! We went in the morning (5:15am) and while early, it paid off. We caught 12 fish in total, with one being a King Salmon. We left with a full cooler (38.5 lbs) and made wonderful memories!

Captain TJ is DaMan…
6 Hour Trip (AM) MAX 4 on August 6, 2022 • 4 adults

Captain TJ put us on the Kings right away with a double and even a triple. While the other charters were struggling to land fish we stayed busy our entire trip. Captain TJ hustled non stop to make our trip as successful and fun as possible. Thank You. A+

Captain Brandyn Thorsen is a United States Coast Guard licensed captains. Capt. Brandyn began Salmon fishing with his father when he was 6 years old. The day he hooked his first Salmon was the day his obsession with Great Lakes Salmon fishing began. There is absolutely no place on earth he would rather be than fishing for Trout and Salmon on Lake Michigan. For Captain Brandyn, it is a true passion in all aspects.
