We booked the 7-hour morning charter and had a great time! The bite started off a little slow, but Captain Chris never stopped working to keep us on fish. His knowledge and persistence paid off—we ended up limiting out! The boat was clean, organized, and very well maintained, From start to finish, everything was professional and well run. Zero complaints. If you’re looking for a captain who works hard and knows how to find fish, I highly recommend booking with Captain Chris. We’ll definitely be back! 🎣
My brothers and I reserved this charter to take our dad for Father’s Day weekend. We went in the afternoon where they said it was common to only carch about 7 fish. Chris and his partner plopped us right in a honey hole where we all caught our 5 fish limit with over half an hour left in our trip. We left with 20 fish in our boat that yieled over 50 pounds of fillets. We already reserved for next year for Father’s day weekend again. 100% recommend and wouldn’t go with anyone else.
Captain Christoper was fantastic. He was friendly, incrediby knowledgable and service oriented. He knew where the fish were, especially when other captains came up to him after we limited out in less than 3 hours. We were a family trip and Christopher was great with the kids and excited to them have a great time. We can’t wait for our next Michigan adventure and we will definitely call Flagship Fishing Charters the next time we are there!

I want to thank Chris and Jeff for giving our group a wonderful experience for fishing before the end of the season. We were able to catch more than enough fish for everyone! I would 10/10 recommend going again on a trip with these guys. They were very friendly, made us comfortable on the boat and teached us a lot of pointers on fishing. Thank you again for the wonderful trip! Hope to see you guys again!

We had a great time on an early morning charter with Chris. The boat is in great condition and was very comfortable. Chris is super knowledgeable about the lake, fishing, and the area in general. We caught four HUGE lake trout and chris navigated Lake Michigan like a pro. He cleaned the fish for us as well and gave us tips on how to cook it, and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you Chris!
Chris cleary knows what he’s doing and it shows! We booked a 5:30 am charter and we already had fish in the darkness before sunrise. He was moving nonstop and on top of everthing. Didn’t take long to catch our limit. We caught steelhead, king salmon and lake trout and have more meat than I handle! Don’t hesitate and book a charter with Chris. You won’t regret it!
Not a single complaint! The crew was outstanding! Captain Chris and Jeff were knowledgeable and made the correct adjustments when necessary, so we were catching fish from start to finish. They did great working with our kids (ages 10-15) and teaching them about the whole process as we went. Can’t speak highly enough of them and of our experience!

A big thumbs up and thank you to Captain Chris and crew of Flagship Fishing Charters! We got off to a bit of a slow start but Captain Chris’s patience and expertise paid off in the end with a great catch for the 5 hour PM trip.
Captain Chris and Jeff were super friendly. Combined they had so much rcperience. We were very impressed. Would highly recommend this Charter to anyone wanting a great fishing day out on the Lake. Would recommend for a gun family adventure.
Chris and Jeff were awesome. If you're wanting to have a good time they are the crew for you. We caught Salmon Lake Trout. I had an 11 yr old with me and they were really patient and helpful with him. I will be coming back.
