Mitchmo Fishing Charters
Spend the day with Mitchmo Fishing Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Traverse City so memorable! Captain Mitch will be your guide, offering their knowledge and experience.
The fish in these waters include Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, and more, depending on the time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll.
You'll step aboard a 22' NauticStar center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
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.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Mitchmo Fishing Charters.

Dan Mangino5.0VerifiedAmazing Experience!
Half Day Trip on June 29, 2026 • 2 adultsMy 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!

Matt Rokos5.04 Hour Trip
Half Day Trip on September 11, 2025Our 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
