Dragginfish Charters LLC
+14Frankfort has a fish with your name on it, so let Dragginfish Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matthew knows them forwards and back.
You’re likely to fish for Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and more with any luck. For these species, you’re likely to troll using light or heavy tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Capt. Matthew welcomes you aboard a 27’ Sea Ray Cruiser with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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. It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is not allowed.
Get in touch with Capt. Matthew below and start planning your trip today! If you don’t see the date you’re interested in on the calendar, call. We may be able to accommodate.

These 4 Kings 👑
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 25, 2025
We had a Great time catching 4 King Salmon and a nice Rainbow (Steelhead) trout. I have had other charters only target lake trout. These guys were great guides and put us on King Salmon!!! A nice added bonus was they were personable and good sense of humor. The boat was comfortable and steady, great equipment and good technology. Highly recommend!!!

Your captain
Elberta, Michigan, United States
Capt. Matthew runs trips out of Frankfort aboard a 27’ Sea Ray. These waters are known for Salmon and Trout and he will show you how to catch them. With a vast knowledge of these waters, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
