Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush of going toe-to-toe with a giant King Salmon on light tackle! Known for their raw power and explosive runs, these fish will test your strength, patience, and skill from the moment they strike. There’s nothing quite like the heart-pounding excitement of feeling a massive salmon on the other end of your line, fighting you every step of the way.
We target these incredible fish with a variety of jigs and plastics, giving anglers a hands-on experience where you feel every bite and battle directly. As the salmon stage in river mouths before making their upstream run, they gather in prime feeding zones, creating the perfect opportunity for action-packed fishing. This method not only puts you closer to the fish, but also brings a whole new level of excitement to the chase.
Each day is unique, with weather, water clarity, and temperature dictating where we fish. This keeps the adventure fresh and ensures that we’re always in the right place at the right time. From the waters of Muskegon and Ludington to Manistee and as far north as Platte Bay, we follow the hottest bite to maximize your chances of hooking into a trophy King.
Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by the natural beauty of Michigan’s Great Lakes shoreline—crystal waters, sweeping beaches, and the thrill of fishing in one of the best salmon fisheries in the country. Whether you’re a seasoned angler looking for the fight of a lifetime or a beginner eager to experience the excitement of Great Lakes fishing, this adventure promises unforgettable moments on the water and stories you’ll be telling for years to come.
