Explore Michigan's Waters with Sweet T Sportfishing

Fish Michigan's legendary waters with Sweet T Sportfishing and Captain Kevin Ouzts, a seasoned angler with over 25 years of experience on the St. Joseph and Kalamazoo Rivers. His passion, professionalism, and deep knowledge of Steelhead and Salmon fishing make every trip an unforgettable adventure for anglers of all levels.

Your trip takes place aboard a 19' Smokercraft aluminum boat powered by a 150 HP Evinrude jet engine, cruising at up to 35 knots. Outfitted with GPS, fish finders, and a trolling motor, it's designed for comfort, efficiency, and success—ideal for up to two anglers.

Captain Kevin specializes in river Steelhead trips, choosing the best fishing spots based on current conditions and fish activity. Convenient meeting locations are available on both the Kalamazoo and St. Joseph Rivers.

In early spring (starting in March), the action shifts to Lake Michigan for Coho Salmon, where Captain Kevin trolls near the beaches for some of the tastiest fish in the Great Lakes—a fast-paced, light-tackle favorite!

All gear is provided—rods, reels, tackle, and lures—and your catch is cleaned and filleted at no extra cost. Just bring your fishing license, plus snacks and drinks, and get ready for a great day on the water.

    Best Charter Ever! Sweet T Sportfishing is a winner

    Fall, Winter & Spring Steelhead-6hr on March 22, 2025 • 2 adults

    Capt. Kevin was phenomenal. Although my son and I were not experienced anglers, he was very patient and guided us perfectly. He made fishing fun and easy, while totally exceeding our expectations. I highly recommend Capt Kevin for anyone looking to get their money's worth from a charter fishing trip.

    Capt. Kevin was extremely accommodating for my elderly grandfather and made the experience memorable for the both of us. His level of expertise was clear when we were pulling in more fish than any other anglers on the water that day….I originally did not want to write a review because I was worried it will make it harder to schedule future trips, that being said, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Kev.

A fishing guide with finesse.
Winter Steelhead Adventure-4hr on October 26, 2025 • 2 adults

Kevin is one of the most squared away guides whom I ever met. His boat and equipment are absolutely top notch. He is highly skilled and knows the fish and the river. He is kind and works to make your trip productive and enjoyable. I will fish with him whenever I have the opportunity.
