Captain Scott McDaid has over 30 years of experience and specializes in catching Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead, and Brown Trout out of Glen Arbor.  Reel Tales Charters is the only charter listed here that actually leaves from Glen Arbor and cleans and bags the catch in Glen Arbor.  Others may be listed in Glen Arbor, but leave from somewhere else.  Please be careful when booking that you are getting what you expect.

Captain Scott will guide you through your Glen Arbor Charter Fishing adventure every step of the way! No Experience necessary!

Reel Tales Charters is U.S.C.G. Licensed and Insured. You will fish aboard a 28’ Grady White Sailfish that is MDNR inspected.  Grady White is a boat that is truly made for the waters of the Great Lakes.  You will ride in comfort!

We provide tackle, ice, cleaning and bagging of your catch, education and fun. All you need to bring is: Sunglasses, sun block, soft-soled shoes, jacket, camera, and food and beverages of your choice.

We pride ourselves in giving you the ultimate charter fishing experience while you are visiting northern Michigan.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Your trip with Reel Tales Charter Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
