Dragginfish Charters LLC
Frankfort 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.

Natalie Schmidt5.0VerifiedThe highlight of a wonderful Michigan summer!
Half day trip PM on August 14, 2026 • 4 adultsSuch a fun evening on stunning Lake Michigan. The salmon didn’t disappoint us and neither did the sunset! Matt & Brian were an excellent team and made sure we had best experience! Can’t wait to go again next year !
Blake Perl5.0VerifiedThis was a great charter. Caught lots of fish
Half day trip PM on July 25, 2026 • 3 adultsHad a great time on this chatter. The captain was great. With the weather not being ideal conditions, they still got us on lots of fish. We’ll be back again.

Thomas BettsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThese 4 Kings 👑
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 25, 2025 • 2 adultsWe 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!!!
Justin BelkiewiczRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water!!!
All day trip on August 22, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain Matthew and his sons did everything they could to find and keep us on the fish. The whole crew are great with their clients. It was more like fishing with 3 friends rather then just a captain and his crew. We came home with 9 nice fish. We definitely recommend Dragginfish Charters and we will be booking again with them next year.
Zachary Kromer5.0VerifiedRelaxed fun worth every penny.
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 30, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childThe captain made it a very relaxed atmosphere and fun which was great since this was my son's first time out and he was able to reel in a few fighters all in all we had a blast
Brandon Reno5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
