Dave’s Fishing Charters
Dave’s Fishing Charters
As a full-time charter captain based in Montague, I take pride in offering something no one else in the area can — we are the only full-time charter service in Montague and the highest-reviewed charter in Muskegon County. With over 30 years of experience on the water, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding these fisheries inside and out.
Fishing isn’t just something I do — it’s what I do every day. That matters. When you book a trip, you deserve a captain who is constantly dialed in to current conditions, patterns, and fish behavior. Your time and money are valuable, and choosing a full-time captain gives you the best chance at a successful, memorable day on the water.
Whether we’re fishing inland lakes for perch, bluegill, walleye, and pike, or heading out onto Lake Michigan targeting king salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and lake trout, I bring the same level of effort, knowledge, and commitment to every trip.
My goal is simple: to give you the best possible experience — not just a fishing trip, but a day you’ll remember long after the lines are out of the water.

We booked this trip specifically for our son’s 10th birthday & he loved it! Dave was so kind and patient with both of our boys. He helped them with any issues and answered all the questions. We caught a lot of fish in a short time! We even forgot our boys’ life jackets on the boat and didn’t realize it until later in the day, but Dave gladly brought them over 30 minutes to deliver them to us! He was top notch and we would recommend going fishing with him to anyone! Thanks for the great memories!
Put us on the fish even though the conditions were terrible. Adjusted our time for the weather. Worked hard to make sure it was fun. If I get the chance to Go back he will be my first call.

Even though weather was not great (for catching fish), Dave put us on fish and made it a great family experience. We caught several big fish and a good quantity of fish; keeping the kids entertained and happy. Truly a great captain and experience.
Captain Dave was great! Very patient with us as we were new to lake fishing, explained what was going on and how to handle fighting the fish. He was very professional and got us on fish right away and kept us ok on fish.
