Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information available online, or available on the boat you can ask the captain. It's always wise to bring sunblock sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, please avoid glass bottles.

Exceeded Evpectations…Big Time

6 hour Afternoon Trolling 12pm on June 19, 2026 • 6 adults

Had a great time and caught a lot of fish.  We were concerned about taking the afternoon trip with the sun blazing down but Tim and 1st mate Mitch were able to get us on fish quickly.  We had a great day with a ton of laughs and a ton of fish to bring home.   The booking was extremely smooth and easy.  We will definitely e back and are already talking about booking a fall trip.  Thank you very much Tim and Mitch!

Epic Trip with Capt Tim!

6 Hour Sunrise Trolling Trip 5am on July 18, 2025 • 6 adults

Beautiful morning for a 6 hour fishing trip trolling on Lake Michigan!  Capt Tim got us right on some massive lake trout (17-22 pounders), with a few salmon and a rainbow trout as well.  Lots of space on this well equipped boat including a nice flybridge. Fishing was great, beautiful sunrise and great views of Chicago.  But the highlight of the trip was Capt Tim and his first mate.  They take care of everything while you reel in fish, and teach you along the way.  They were great fishermen, but also great to talk with. Capt Tim is hilarious, kept us laughing the whole trip, and had great stories.  We will certainly be booking with Capt Tim again!

Sunset Fishing Trip 🎣

Sunset Nearshore Trolling 6:15pm on May 17, 2026 • 6 adults

Booked this sunset trip to celebrate our son’s high school graduation, and it was a great experience! Capt. Tim and his crew were professional, funny, and clearly knew what they were doing. The water was pretty choppy, but Capt. Tim navigated the vessel with ease. The fish weren’t biting much, but we still managed to catch six lake trout weighing between 15-18 lbs. I’ll definitely be booking again!

You won’t need a bigger boat.

4 Hour Earlybird Trolling 5am on June 30, 2025 • 6 adults

Everyone in our party caught huge fish, each weighing over 12 pounds.  The charismatic captains more than enhanced the experience with their vast knowledge, witty and sarcastic banter, and superior skill.  They engaged everyone in our party (even our shy teenager) and had everyone laughing.  Some heckling may even be involved.  Highly entertaining and above and beyond what was expected, including a surprise visit by other lakeside creatures.  Everything was taken care of for us.  We just had to relax and enjoy the show and the fish.  Will definitely be back.
