    Great day with a great captain!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout on June 27, 2026 • 6 adults

    We celebrated a bachelor party by going for a fishing charter trip with Captain Bob and it went great. The synergy and knowledge between him and his first mate helped us to have a great day out on the water. He was unbelievably professional, patient, and kind. It's clear he has a love for helping others and sharing his passion for fishing with others. We highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

    Successful Trip!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM on August 10, 2026 • 3 adults

    First time on a charter in Michigan and it was a great experience. Capt. Robert and Alan got us out there, set about a dozen lines and we were fishing. Fish were biting erratically, but we ended up with 5 Kings on 6 or 7 hits, so good success ratio. We had a great time. Would definitely do it again, and on this boat.

    Great Fishing Experience!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM on August 8, 2026 • 6 adults

    First time adventure for 5 first timers. One grandson who caught a King Salmon, another grandson caught a Coho and King Salmon, another caught a Steelhead, and one of the older grandsons caught a Coho. Captain was very knowledgeable and informative. This Charter was the only way our grandsons could catch salmon at this time of year.

    Core Memory for my Kids!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM on August 5, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We are so thankful for our time with Captain Bob. After some early rough water we went 8/11 and made some forever memories. My kids are 8 & 9 yrs old and had a great time. I was thankful for the respectful conduct of the crew to make this a family friendly outing. Would highly recommend!

    First time going charter fishing, Captain Robert is amazing from start to finish! Had to cut our trip a little bit short due to myself getting “sea” sick. Definitely would book a trip with Captain Robert again! Thank you!

Slow day fishing made enjoyable by a great Captain!
5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM on August 15, 2026 • 5 adults

We had a very enjoyable evening trip out on the Lake. It was possibly the last big water fishing trip my 83 year-old father is able to take, and Captain Bob and Alan did a great job accommodating him and making sure he caught a fish. The boat had plenty of room and the Captain worked hard throughout the whole trip trying to get the fish to hook up.
