Our Reel Heroes Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Manistee.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and whatever else is biting. For these species, you're likely to troll.

Children are welcome, 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. Snacks are never a bad idea!

Your excursion begins aboard a 36' Tiara sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Had a Blast!!🤩
Half Day Trip on July 25, 20266 adults

I was a newbie… my first trip out. Waves were 2- 4 ft. Every time I was green around the gills it was my turn grab the pole. First catch was a Laker and the second was a #15 King. Both catches was “Blast” to reel in…. We had a bit of a lull but our captain stayed true to his instincts and by the end we had 5 Kings and 4 Lakers and I didn’t Chum the water!!! 🤣🎣

Reported catch:
Lake Trout
Brown Trout

Response from Captain

Captain Brian Standen has been fishing the Great Lakes for over 30 years and, during that time, he's become an expert in putting his customers on the bite of some massive fish. He's a Manistee local and usually fishes Lake Michigan, though depending on the fishing conditions, you may also test out inland and river fisheries in the area.
