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.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Whitehall for yourself, with ReelMaster Charters!

Another Incredible Trip with ReelMaster Charters!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on August 19, 20262 adults2 children

Our family had another fantastic 5-hour fishing trip with ReelMaster Charters and Captain Brady this August! This was our second year in a row fishing with Captain Brady, and once again, he delivered an incredible experience and tremendous success on the water. Captain Brady is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and knows exactly what he’s doing to put his guests on fish. It’s clear that he works hard to make sure everyone has a great time, and our entire family had an absolute blast. After having such a great experience last year, we knew we wanted to come back—and this year did not disappoint! We are already looking forward to making this an annual family tradition and plan to book with Captain Brady again next year. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter with an experienced captain who genuinely cares about his customers having a memorable day, we highly recommend ReelMaster Charters. Five stars all the way!

Amazing trip for me and my son!
2 hour pm trip on July 7, 20261 adult1 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!

Great time and great captain

Captain Brady was super nice and very enjoyable to spend our time on the water with. My husband and I aren’t big fans of eating salmon so he took us out to catch a variety of other fish. We had a great time!
