FishGH – Kingpin
FishGH – Kingpin
Kingpin was added to our fleet for the 2024 fishing/tour season. Kingpin is a 30 ft. Grady-White center console and offers a very stable hull design geared toward comfortable fishing and touring.
There is plenty of seating for everyone and a full-size clean bathroom onboard.
Fishing aboard a luxury center console like Kingpin offers a very unique fishing experience as compared to the typical Great Lakes charter boat.
Kingpin is the fastest boat in our fleet and offers us the ability to quickly go to where the fish are located and allows more overall range as well as more time spent actually fishing.
Whether you choose an offshore Salmon fishing charter or an inshore harbor fishing tour Kingpin will not disappoint your crew. Seasoned fishermen will appreciate the more hardcore feel of a center console where you will be close to the action and out in the elements.
Be prepared to dress for the conditions there are no areas to fully get out of the sun or rain.

Beth Reed•
Minnesota, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewFantastic trip. Best fishing experience for novice big lake fishers.
5 Hour Trip – Weekday Salmon (AM) on September 7, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptainJordan's experience got us 9 Salmon in our 5 hr morning fishing on lake Michigan. Clean boat, smooth ride. Helped my 89 y/o father with the first Coho catch. Best part was I didn't have to clean the fish, all filets prepped by our captain. We had perfect weather.
Wes Schirra•Maryland, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedBeautiful Morning on the Lake!!
3 Hr Trip - Offshore Fishing PM on July 28, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childCaptain Astro and Carsen were fantastic! Our trip was scheduled for the previous day but poor lake conditions made it impossible to go out! They promptly provided other options and got us out on the lake early the next morning. Started catching fish right away and for the entire outing. The crew was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. My entire family had a blast and we would definitely recommend!
Andrew Smith•Iowa, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGreat trip!

3 Hr Trip - Offshore Fishing PM on August 3, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childOur fishing team of three hooked up on 13 fish and brought in 8. It was an amazing day. If I could have afforded it, I would have taken the crew out for steak dinners afterwards! So much fun! WE WILL BE BACK!!
Eric Larson•Wyoming, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNice to get out on Lake Michigan
2 Hour Trip – Harbor Fishing on July 1, 2026 • 3 adultsEarly in the year to do well on salmon, but we landed around a dozen freshwater drum over two hours, and it was a great day to get out on the water. Would do it again, crew was very helpful in landing and handling the fish.

We went on the three-hour evening trip. Jordan was upfront that the day hadn’t been great yet (he was shutout on his previous two trips). That managed our expectations, but we ended up catching 3! Our 9 yr old has quite the personality and both Jordan and Parker not only tolerated him but entertained him. My only gripe is that it took a bit for either Jordan or Parker to really interact with us. Once they did it waa great. Well, that and the on-board restroom smelled really bad. Overall the kids enjoyed themselves and we made a memory we won’t be to duplicate. I would book again in a second.
Kenny, Thanks for the informative review. We appreciate it. Brian
Overall I had a really fun time and enjoyed the experience out on the water. The crew was friendly, the ride was relaxing, and it was a good atmosphere for first-timers. My only disappointment was not catching any fish, especially after spending around $300. I understand fishing can be unpredictable, but I was hoping for a little more action or guidance to help improve the chances of catching something. Still, I appreciate the experience and memories from the trip.
Cayce, Thanks for fishing with us! Hooefully the fish are a lot more hungry next time. Thanks again, Brian
