FishGH is a premium fishing charter service operated from Chinook Pier in Grand Haven, MI. We specialize in family-friendly fishing excursions and corporate outings.
We have been operating since 1984. Our boat Down Time was completely restored in 2022 and can comfortably accommodate 6 guests in all weather conditions.
Down Time is a 33’ Wellcraft Coastal and was built to fish offshore in any conditions. She is always clean and we have a full-size bathroom on board that is clean and comfortable. Downtime is equipped with the latest fishing gear and electronics including GPS, Radar, VHF radio, and sonar fish finder.
Our crew is polite and friendly and loves to share our love for fishing with children. No fishing experience is necessary. Guests can bring aboard a cooler with food and drinks of their choice. We ask that you not bring glass bottles, hard liquor, or bananas on board. We always have complimentary cold water available as well.
We will be trolling, primarily for Salmon and Trout on Lake Michigan. We are typically 1-5 miles offshore depending on several factors like time of the season, weather conditions, and water temperatures.
When you return from your trip we will take group photos, clean your catch and provide fresh bags and ice. We also participate in the Cook the Catch program where you have the option to bring your fresh fish to a local restaurant and have a full meal prepared (additional fees apply).

5 Hour Fishing Trip - (PM) Weekend on June 28, 2025
We had an amazing trip, we had 4 people and each one of us was able to land a fish. The crew worked hard, their knowledge and experience was very apparent and they did everything they could do make sure we landed some big fish. They were fun and made the trip even better. The experience with family is one you will never forget and was worth every penny. We went to a local restaurant afterwards and did the catch and cook program which was $18 per person and came with sides and that felt amazing and worth it too. Overall perfect little vacation that FishGH helped to make it even better!

5 Hour Fishing Trip - (PM) Weekday on August 12, 2024
FishingGH took our reservation with less than 24 hours notice after some disappointing weather conditions prevented us from making our originally planned trip. They gave us exactly the experience we were hoping for. Jordan worked hard to find us the best fishing spots and gave us tips and advice on how to reel them in. Parker could see the hit on the lines within seconds and reacted so quickly to make sure we hooked the fish. We caught 3 king salmon, 20 lbs each. What’s more is we had a wonderful time on their boat! It was a great trip and made some great memories.

We had a great Father’s Day on the water thanks to Brian and Carson. They were very welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. We caught 4 while most others weren’t having much luck out there today. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

Tournament bass fisherman here. My lady and I wanted to give a charter a try, we were looking for fresh salmon! “WOW” did we get exactly what we set out looking for! The captain and the first mate got us on fish well before the sun even came up, we limited out with in hours! Both gentlemen were nice, polite, very interactive with the both of us, we talked about things from fishing to relationships, to religion. Such a great day, we even ate freshly caught fish for dinner. Highly recommend these guys! We will be booking them again.

My family and I traveled ~3 hours in hopes of scoring salmon and we were not disappointed! The waves were a bit intense, some motion sickness, but the captain and crew were extremely kind and understanding. We were able to snag 5 nice sized salmon within the first 2 hours (including 4 we lost as amateurs lol). Excellent company and fun trip!
