Caught 41 fish!
Half Day – Inland Lake (AM) on June 26, 20263 adults

I caught a walleye, a few rock bass, some bluegills, a largemouth bass, and a lot of perch. The captain was great, and helped me learn how to unhook the fish and how to hold them. This trip would be great for anyone who is beginner all the way to advanced, he knew all the spots to go to.

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass
Walleye
Yellow Perch
Response from Captain

Thanks Joe! I appreciate the positive review. I'm glad your family had a good time and learned a few fish catching methods!

4 Hr Lake Trout/Cisco (PM) Jigging on May 30, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Chris was very impressive with his knowledge. He was very kind to me and my son while we were with him on the boat. Capt. Chris was also very patient with my son and helped him catch a bunch of fish. I would recommend anyone looking for a genuine fishing experience with a genuine person, I would highly recommend Osprey Fishing of Michigan!

Response from Captain

Thanks Chris, i had a great time fishing with you and your son! Hope to see you in September for some Salmon.

Father and Son trip
Half Day – Inland Lake (AM) on May 13, 20262 adults

Early in the year but Chris put us on fish first stop. My son brought in the first laker of the day. Water temps still cold fish were finicky eaters but we still hit limit. Great time with patient, knowledgeable Captain would recommend highly for families and experienced anglers.

Response from Captain

Thanks Tim! It was nice meeting you and your son. Thanks for being flexible working around the wind and weather days to get the trip in.

Great time!
Half Day – Inland Lake (AM) on September 14, 20251 adult1 child

What a great way to spend a beautiful September Sunday morning fishing in Northern Michigan. Captain Chris was excellent, extremely polite, attentive to my (not so experience) 11 year old son. We had a great time, will definitely book with him again.
