If you're ready to try fishing in Manistee, book a trip with Stumpy Fishing Charter LLC. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Micah can tell you all about them.

Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year.

You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Trips with Stumpy Fishing Charter LLC are open to the whole family, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be welcome aboard a 36' Sportfishing with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Stumpy Fishing Charter LLC.
