If you're here to make the most of fishing in Manistee, look no further than Wright Way Charters. Having logged many hours on the Great Lakes, Captain Ethan can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be dropping lines from a 31' Tiara that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, it's required you buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Fish will be cleaned and bagged at the end of your trip, bring a cooler to fill with filets

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Wright Way Charters.
