Tripp N Hooks Charters
Tripp N Hooks Charters
Make some memories in Grand Haven and go fishing with Tripp N Hooks Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Chris can tell you all about them.
Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children may need to wear life vests depending on age, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your vessel for the day is a Trojan 10meter International (33') Sportfish with capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Herb Green•
Michigan, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedA MUST do event.
8 Hour Trip AM on May 22, 2026 • 4 adultsI was very pleased with my choice of selecting Tripp and Hooks for my sons first charter fishing trip. In my sons own words are “ they were very knowledgeable and friendly”. Captian Chris and his first mate Matt worked their tail off to keep us catching fish. We had an 8- hour trip scheduled and within 6- hours we had caught our limit. Captian Chris and Matt have the ability to make you feel like you were family. They both worked with my son and his best friend with fishing techniques that they were going to be using and explained everything they needed to know. Both boys wre very comfortable with Captian Chris and Matt. I highly recommed you look no further to schedule your trip
