Unwrapped Outdoors 

My 4year old son loved this trip. Captain Derek literally put us on fish the first cast. Knowledgeable and really solid at helping kids learn to fish. He even tailored the length of the trip to our schedule. Fantastic guide. We will be back to fish with him anytime we are in michigan.

I booked this as a fathers day gift for my husband to go with his dad and our oldest son. Everyone had a great time and these are memories to last a lifetime ❤️ caught too many fish to count and captain was very knowledgable and a kind host!

Capt Derek was an excellent guide and teacher. We caught a ton of fish and had a very good time. I would definitely recommend him. Can't wait to do it again.

Got out on the lake early to beat the heat. Derek had us catching fish in no time! Had a great time!

Captain Derek, was the best! My family and I go on fishing charters everywhere we go on vacation. Most of those charters are trolling for fish, sitting and waiting while hoping no one gets motion sick. This was the fishing I was looking for on vacation. Going out on a boat with the family and enjoying a morning of fishing together, it was exactly what we needed. Casting, Jigging, and Catching, this charter was fantastic. If you are looking for a great time to relax and have some laughs with the family, this is the way to go. Captain Derek was great. He has so much information when it comes to fishing. We all have fished for most of our lives, but Derek was a great teacher. Methods of fishing, staying in the strike zone longer, and overall conservational awareness; were just some of the topics we covered. Whether you are a novice or experienced angler, he is the guide you want. Derek was professional and family-friendly. His hospitality is second to none. He kept us on the fish and kept conversation going the whole time. There was never a dull moment. We will be back to go out with Derek again.

I couldn't have been any more pleased with how our trip turned out with Derek. The professionalism he has is well above that of anyone else. He does everything so you can enjoy pulling in fish one after another. I took my 8-year-old son and his friend, and I was able to enjoy my time on the water while Derek took care of bait and fish and the boys. He treated us like we were family and made sure everything was perfect. I'll admit it was awkward at first—not baiting hooks or taking fish off and putting them in the livewell or cleaning the fish—it made it so much more of an experience for me. You will not regret booking with Unwrapped Outdoors.

My son and I went on a trip with Captain Derek. Everything I hoped for as far as working with my son, Captain Derek jumped right into it and did so with patience, continous interaction and making it fun for him. As he worked with my son, Captain Derek worked with me on technique. He was able to pin point the areas we needed to be, the adequate depth and the species we could target. It was a great learning opportunity as well as a great time out fishing for me and my son. We are looking forward to our next trip. Thank you for having us.

Captain Derek was awesome. Professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a very fun guide. His boat and equipment were very clean and worked great. Captain Derek was easy to communicate with before the trip. I would highly recommend Unwrapped Charters. We will definitely be booking more trips with Captain Derek in the future.

The goal for the trip was for my son to catch a keeper Northern Pike and Derek delivered! He was super knowledgeable and courteous. He was extremely patient showing my son how to improve his cast and the right technique to reel in the bait and the fish. It was a great day!

Our company took a day-trip with Red Beard (Derek) and his crew in June. Between our three boats, we caught hundreds of pan fish in a few hours! I had very little experience fishing, but Red Beard brought all the needed equipment, showed us how to cast, baited our hooks and parked the boat in best spots. Afterwards his team gutted our fish and our company made salsa and fish tacos for lunch. It was a great day!
