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.
Thank you for the kind words! It is hard to beat a fathers day like that. Fishing was on fire! It was a lot of fun fishing with you all and I look forward to our next trip!
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!
I can not say enough good things about Chris and Flagship Fishing Charters. This was our first time fishing Lake Michigan and we did not know what to expect. Chris did an amazing job the whole time keeping lines in the water and putting us on fish from the beginning of the trip. All 4 of us on the trip had a limit of fish thanks to Chris and knowing where to go. We had booked an afternoon trip and he had an opening in the morning and suggested we go then, and man was he right. Chris is so polite and courteous and offered up any knowledge he had to help us out. The next time we get up there I will not be searching for a fishing charter. I will be calling Chris for another awesome experience. Thanks again Chris!!!!
5 star boat, crew, and experience! Impressed with the catch and they assisted with filleting as well! Could not have higher praise and definitely recommend for any level.
Thank you for the kind words! We had a lot of fun fishing with you. Hopefully you enjoyed the fish. Can’t wait to see you next time.
We have been on numerous charters around the U.S. and this was definitely one of our best trips. Not only did we catch our limit of salmon and trout but we had a great experience all together. Captain Chris put us on the fish and worked hard the entire charter. Our son even qualified for the master's angler award while on Reel Paradise today and that really made his trip unforgettable. If you are looking for an awseome Lake Michigan Charter boat for salmon then this is the boat!!
