You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience fishing with Captain Mitch and Tom. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced they are. They put us right on the fish and kept us in the action throughout the trip. Beyond being great guides, they were also a lot of fun to spend the evening with. There were plenty of laughs, and they created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that made the experience memorable. If you're looking for a fishing charter with skilled captains who know where to find fish and make sure everyone has a great time, I highly recommend Captain Mitch and Tom. We would absolutely book with them again!
My son and I went on our fishing trip last night and had so much fun! We caught a ton of fish! I would highly recommend booking a trip! We we will for sure be back whenever we visit Traverse City again.
my family & i had so much fun! Mitch & Tom were incredinly knowledgeable but most importantly they were fantastic with my 7 year old son.
Our fishing trip was on a not so good weather evening, Mitch was determined to find some fish so we went out to where the water was not as choppy, Mitch found fish on his radar, we stayed in the same hole where we were finding fish, 5 great salmon in, we lost 4. Other boats coming in were coming in with nothing, we are already looking forward to fishing with Mitch next summer

Your captain
Life long resident to the area and I've been fishing these waters all my life. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy taking people out on the water and giving them an experience that will last a lifetime. After working on several charter boats, I decided to get my captains license in 2025 and start running fishing trips on my own. I run a limited number of trips each summer and focus on evenings and weekends May through September. The top priority on each trip is safety, and the second is having fun. I will do everything I can to make sure your trip is fun and memorable. Being a father of 3, I have a passion for taking kids fishing. The smile on a kids face when they catch their first salmon or trout cannot be beat.
