Fish N Fowl Guide Service 

What an incredible fishing experience! I took my 12-year-old daughter out for a day on the water, and it ended up being one of those memories we'll never forget. From the moment we stepped aboard, the captain and first mate (who is also a captain of another local charter for our visit) were outstanding. Their professionalism, knowledge, and teamwork were evident throughout the entire trip. They worked tirelessly to keep lines in the water, quickly changing gear and adjusting tactics to keep us on fish all day long. Not only did they help us limit out on lake trout, including our biggest fish of the day at 17 pounds, but we also had opportunities to target steelhead and king salmon. Their expertise gave us the best chance possible to experience everything the lake had to offer. What impressed me most was the atmosphere they created. The conversation was always fun, relaxed, and engaging. Even with 3–4 foot waves for most of the trip, they kept everyone comfortable, confident, and focused on having a great time. One thing that truly sets this crew apart is their character. At one point there were only a few boats trolling nearby, and while one boat hadn't found any fish, our captain freely shared information about what was working for us. That willingness to help fellow anglers speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. They genuinely want everyone on the lake to have a successful and enjoyable day. If you're a first-time angler and are nervous about booking a trip, put your trust in these guys. They'll make you feel comfortable, teach you along the way, and work hard to put fish in the boat. If you're an experienced angler, they'll keep you engaged, entertained, and fishing hard from start to finish. Simply put, if you're looking for a fishing charter, this is the boat you want to be on. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be back.

I’ve done other charters before, but this was by far the best. Captain Sam really impressed our group - he’s perfectly organized, incredibly hard working, and a cool dude to hang out with. We set off within minutes of arriving to the boat, got out and fish on early, and brought home 14 fish at the end of the day (even after a few wriggled off). Everyone had a great time and we’re all looking forward to another trip next year!

went on a 7 hour trip with capt sam and it was amazing. Fishing was tough and the lake was rough but capt sam and his first mate Tate worked really hard to put us on fish was constantly trying different set ups to get them to bite. we ended up with 2 kings and 3 lake trout 1 king around 15 lbs and one lake trout around the same size and 3 smaller fish. I would absoultley recommend him and will be booking another trip with him

Started off slow…. really slow. The Captain did everything he could to find the fish and find the fish he did! We had a strong finish and lots of fish to take home. Trip itself was rough (high waves) but the Captain doesn’t control the weather Jackie!

My family would highly recommend Captain Sam if you are looking to venture out on Lake Michigan! We had a great time catching some king salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout. Charter was a fun and memorable experience that we will cherish.

The guys were first class guides to work with. Great family memories for one member that was first time ever catching a fish. Thank you!!

caught 14 fish - salmon, lake trout, steerhead. Sam and Mike worked hard to catch our fish. Good time for all. We’ll be back.

Sam and His first mate Tate were awesome. They were both very friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to go do this again with them

Capt. Sam and his first mate were incredible. The boat and equipment were great and they certainly got us on the fish. We ended up landing 14 salmon and 1 nice lake trout. All in an an amazing day and I personally will be booking with Capt. Sam again in the future!
