Fish On !!! welcomes you to the stunning waters of southern Lake Michigan. We run single boat trips up to 5 passangers but can organize 2, 3 or more boats to take large groups and company outings to meet your needs just send us a message.

These waters are known for Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead and more – most trips result in multi species being caught.

Children are definately welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! And remember to bring your favorite food and drink. Dress warm in layers as most days start out cool even in the summer months.

You'll be fishing aboard a 27' Stamas sportfishing vessel with room for 5 passengers. The boat is fully rigged with downriggers, electronics and over 45 rods ready to go for all situations we will encounter. There's a private enclosed head on board for your convenience as well. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures of every shape, size and color you can imagine.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. And it's customary to tip the Mate 15–20% of the trip cost to show your appreciation as mates work soley for tips.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip with an all species/or trout/salmon endorsement. Liscenses should be bought online or at retail sporting goods store prior to arrival.

Best, charter I've ever had, salt or fresh water
6 Hour morning trip – Discounts on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain stackhouse and Trenton are definitely experts on this. water and make every effort to ensure their clients have a successful trip.. we limited out in 6 hours with five or six large Chinooks, including one that must have weighed 20 lb, six cohos and five or six long running and high jumping steelhead. My son's first five fish iof his life were two coho, two large steelhead and two King, including the aforementioned largest fish of the day. I should note that I am disabled and have no use of my left arm. David or Trenton had to hold the rod while I reeled in;; They did so enthusiastically and effectively. they're both expert professionals and nice guys to spend the day with.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Coho Salmon

Great Fishing Trip!
Afternoon 6 hour trip on July 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

My sons (ages 11 and 13) and I went out for an afternoon fishing trip with Fish On and enjoyed every minute! The boat and equipment were clean and ready to go. Their expertise and patience helped us to reel in 7 fish (trout and salmon). Afterwards, they were quick to clean and bag the fish for us to take home. If we’re back in the area, we will be booking again!

Great fishing on the Great Lakes
Afternoon 6 hour trip on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

Hit the grand slam! All 4 fish species of Lake Michigan caught on a six hour afternoon expedition. Big catches with a very knowledgable father and son crew. They even cleaned and cut the fish for us, labelled them in freezer bags and put them in ice. A through Z service.  I highly recommend a FishOn, LLC.
