Fresh Smoked Salmon
5 Hour Trip on July 16, 20262 adults

Captain Brandon is friendly, likable and has a good knowledge, making him a great salmon charter and captain. He knows the area and fishing hot spots. He did the work of two men and remained patient with an older couple - new to salmon fishing. We will be back next year to fish with him again. The experience he provided is worth the couple of extra miles!

Our captain was a very chill guy who is very knowledgeable about the area we were in and the fish we targeted. He was very friendly with my very beginner group and made sure we had a great time catching big fish. 10/10 would recommend!

2026 will mark my 12th season targeting salmon on the Great Lakes and I couldn't be more excited to share the experience of catching salmon on the Great Lakes with you! I have extensive experience on the Great Lakes as I purchased my first boat at just 15 years old. I grew up on Little Bay De Noc and fishing the islands surrounding Door County and Michigan waters. I have been to some of the most remote areas of the Great Lakes with multiple trips to Stannard Rock, and Isle Royale National Park! Salmon fishing has been my passion since the moment I hooked into my first 'screaming' salmon.
