Matthew Langenhorst•
Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic Trip
Mid day 3 hour sheepshead trip on June 26, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Mike and first mate Deegan wwere awesome! Professional, courteous, and definitely made sure we had a good time. Make sure you come prepared to catch fish! Maybe do some forearm stretches before hopping aboard, because we were reeling fish in for almost the entirety of our trip! Our trip targeted drum, so it was catch and release, but they can also put you on Salmon on the big Lake. Would definitely choose them when we come back to Michigan!
