St. Joseph, MI, United States

Book your next trip with Flagship Fishing Charters and find out what keeps anglers coming back to St. Joseph for more. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Chris knows how to put you on the fish.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, or even Brown Trout.  For these species, you’re likely to troll.  Captain Chris will clean and package all of your catch, so pack a cooler ready in the car!

Your boat for the day, the "Reel Paradise," is a 31’ Tiara Open, perfectly designed for trolling the Great Lakes. She is rigged to the gills with brand new Garmin electronics in 2024.  Equipped with a Garmin autopilot, multiple Garmin Graphs, and Garmin Radar, we are able to find the fish and stay on them. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

All fisherman are required to buy a local fishing license before the trip, you can also purchase a license online. If you’re traveling with the family, you’ll be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard. Don’t forget to being snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

We look forward to having you aboard the Reel Paradise at Flagship Fishing Charters.

AWESOME TRIP!!!!
5 Hour Trip PM on August 6, 20254 adults
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!!!!

7 Hour Trip AM on September 10, 20253 adults
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!!

Captain Chris gave us an unforgettable trip! We hit the jackpot and caught our limit of huge fish—nonstop action from start to finish. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on the fish all day. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great trip. My family limited out on Lake Trout, caught one king salmon and a steel head.. Chris and Jeff had a general idea of where the fish were and once they found proper depth it was game on. very knowledgeable and very friendly environment. Thanks guys
