Trips with Tank City Guide Service are fun for all ages, so bring 'em aboard and get the kids hooked while they're young! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your adventure begins aboard a 18' Jet boat with room for 1 passengers. It comes with and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

Half Day Steelhead Trip Grand River on October 31, 20252 adults

We had such a great time, Jerimiah had everything we needed and brought the good vibes. We have never fished in Michigan or for trout before so he did such a great job at showing us the best spots, bait and how to cast for these fish & weather conditions. We will be booking again !

Jay was a great captain. He contacted me before the trip to let me know about the river conditions and that we should get out on the water early to beat the rush. He put us on the fish right away and we had a great time.

Captain Jay is well known around the area, has been fishing on the rivers for many years, and knows the tricks to put his clients on fish. Born and raised in the Grand Rapids area, he has family and friends that fish all the rivers, and he keeps up on where and what the fish are up to.
