Whistlin Dipsy Charters welcomes you to the stunning waters of Manistee.

These waters hold game fish like Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and Lake Trout. You’ll target your catch by trolling.

Capt. Tim welcomes children aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks. Sorry, no pets allowed.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 28’ Carolina Classic with space for 4 to 6 passengers. It has downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials. We provide all necessary fishing equipment.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

You will need to get a Michigan fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can purchase them at most sporting goods stores and or Meijer.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to know your limits.

Now, come aboard with Whistlin Dipsy Charters and get hooked!
