Punisher Sport Fishing
Punisher Sport Fishing
If you're here to make the most of fishing in Pentwater, look no further than Punisher sportfishing. We are tournament proven. 2025 LOC Ladies Pro champs, 2024 7th place in 333 in Ludington out of 85 plus boats. 1st place in 2023 Pentwater charter boat challenge. 3rd place 2022 manistee monster tournament and 1st place big king. 1 of 95 boat to post 70 plus pound box in 20 years in 333 tournaments. 2021 our first pro tournament 6th place finish in the 2021 Benzie frenzie in Frankfort we hadn't fish these waters in 20 years
These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Brown Trout, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. For these species, you're likely to troll. We find a few master angler steelhead every year. 2023 we had 3 in one month!!
Punisher Sport Fishing is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 33' Cruiser with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Treat yourself to a day on the water with Punisher Sport Fishing.

Daniel Morrow5.0VerifiedGreat fishing charter, experience and crew !!!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 10, 2026 • 5 adultsWould highly recommend Capts. Sean and Dan to anyone looking for a great fishing charter. Things started a bit slow for us…. but they kept at it even after our official time ended. And, sure enough, around 9:30 pm we hit the jackpot - 7 King Salmon (including a near 20 lb’er) and 1 Lake Trout. Lines were hitting one after another - and we were catching fish left and right. We had a great time, and Sean and Dan were amazing !!! Thank you for a great time - it was definitely our FAVORITE Great Lakes fishing charter 😁
George Kennedy5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing Trip!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 29, 2026 • 6 adultsWent out on an evening trip. Started slow…after the sun went down it was anything but slow…ended with a BANG! Caught 13 King Salmon total ranging from 7-18 lbs! At times had 6 being reeled in at once! Captain Shawn and Dan managed the lines expertly and were very knowledgeable! I wont go anywhere else!

Robert Deisler5.0VerifiedBest day ever
4.5 Prime time trip on August 28, 2025 • 2 adultsHad such a wonderful experience out fishing today with our captain Dan. Everything was wonderful from the time we stepped on the boat until the time we got into our vehicle. Fish weren’t biting like they have been but I will tell you Dan did everything he could to make sure we had some bites, he was nonstop tracking the fish, changing the lures, calling his other fishing friends to see if they had any luck, we had caught more where Dan had us, he even played our favorite music for us!! 100% would do it again in a heartbeat.

Capt Dan gets it done
My group had a lot of fun fishing this morning. The captain and crew are experienced Great Lakes fishermen and put us into our first hook up before sunrise. Action was steady all morning. We put ten in the box and had seven “profesional releases.” It was a good outing and I would book with these guys again.
thanks Don we appreciate you guys coming

Thank you he is the best
