If you’re here to make the most of fishing in Pentwater, look no further than Punisher Sport Fishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, the captain knows them forwards and back. We are tournament proven.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, 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.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Punisher Sport Fishing.
