To start with, any trip on Lake Michigan with awesome weather, is a success in itself. This was a trip for 9 guests, most of which had never been out on the lake before. The boat is awesome as are the crew. A 60 min ride out on the lake which was fantastic due to great weather. They set lines, and in the first 20 mins we had 2 good size lake Trout in the boat. this is how the next 4 hours continued. Everyone caught fish, and the crew aided the guests who had no experience, and those of us with some. They did great with all of us. The ride back was also fun, especially with the big grins on everyone"s face. All 9 guests decided this was the best trip that could be, and would do it again. The boat and crew are great for a big crowd like this.
thanks. Capt Bob.
I booked a 6 hour charter with Kyle and Deckhand Tyler. Both of them were fantastic to work with and very helpful/encouraging. I have chartered several times before and past Captains could care less if you catch anything, that was not the case with Kyle and Tyler. Both are very knowable and knew what to do when the time came. I will %100 book another charter with them in the future.
Thanks so much... Capt Bob
The captain & his crew man were so very patient with all 6 of us that caught fish. Only one of us have experienced this type of fishing before but all of us felt confident with this crew on board. This will be a memorable experience forever. Side note: do not take bananas or sunflower seeds 😄
thanks Josephine.
Thank you...
Captain Bob and Co-Captain Kyle were great. Very welcoming and accommodating. A great excursion for avid fisherman, first-time anglers or a combination of both. The only charter out of Chicago for large groups.
thanks so much Matt.
