If you plan on fishing in Whitehall, look no further than ReelMaster Charters. With Captain Brady at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Yellow Perch, White Perch, Walleye, Northern Pike, and who knows what else! On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.

You'll step aboard a 19' Lund Fisherman aluminum fishing boat, the roomiest 19' boat on the market, with space for 4 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Absolutely awesome trip!!!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on October 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Even though we went out rather late in the season (Oct. 4th) my boyfriend and I had an amazing trip with Capt. Brady!!! He was so easy-going and friendly, and you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing, and that he loves doing it!!!! We caught two ginormous fish on this trip, and one of them (my boyfriend's first catch on the trip) is the new record for White Lake, it was a massive 31.5 inch Walleye!!! (we are waiting for a response from the DNR master anglers.) Even when not actively catching anything, it's very fun to just chat with Brady, he made this trip so memorable, and we can't wait to go out on the water with him next year!

    Amazing trip for me and my son!

    2 hour pm trip on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    First time chartering a fishing boat for me and my son. Brady was an incredible captain and gave my son a memorable experience. My son told me so many times over the next few days how amazing the experience was and that he can't wait to go back. Brady was so nice and encouraging, and had lots of knowledge of the area and fishing in general. If you have kids, I highly recommend. If you don't, I still highly recommend!

    Excellent fishing. Excellent captain.

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 19, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Brady showed us a great time on White Lake. Lake Michigan was too choppy but he still knew where to go to find the fish. Anytime we had an issue with our lines or lures, Brady was quick to fix them for us. We caught 3 large salmon, enough to take home about 20lbs of meat. Brady cleaned the fish in a matter of minutes. Overall just a very great experience.

    friendly captain

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    The weather was awful, but I was so thankful the catain and his first mate were still able to take us out and fish! this was my first charter trip and they were friendly and helpful. The captain knew where the fish were. We did only catch one Salmon, however, i feel that is not the captains fault and would definitely book again if we decide to go back!
