Catch-A-Bunch Charters LLC
Catch-A-Bunch Charters LLC is your ticket to an amazing trolling adventure! They are docked in Grand Haven at Chinook Pier on wonderful Lake Michigan, just a few minutes to the best fishing grounds. Captains and brothers, Phil and Paul Retherford, are here to make your day on the water an unforgettable one!
Captains Phil and Paul welcome you to their 31’ Tiara fishing yacht with a 12’ beam. The boat has a walk-in bathroom, plenty of seating room for the whole group, and a large fishing deck. She features the latest electronics including Hummingbird sonar, fish finder, and GPS, ship-to-shore radio, a Fish Hawk temperature gauge/probe, Cannon downriggers, and Cannon custom rod holders – everything needed to catch fish and enjoy the ride!
Your main targets will be different kinds of Salmon (Coho and Chinook) and Trout (Rainbow, Brown, and Lake). You’ll only catch these using trolling and the captain will provide you with Shimano rods and reels. Everything you catch you can keep or choose to share it with the crew. After the trip, the captain will clean and fillet the fish for you.
Purchase your fishing license either a 1 day or seasonal and bring food, water, beverages, a camera and a cooler to take the fish home. Soft-soled shoes are preferred. Please don’t bring glass bottles on the boat.
Catch-A-Bunch Charters LLC is available from May till September – make sure to book your spot on time. Kids of all ages are welcome, so make this trip a remarkable experience for the whole family!

Making Memories One Catch at a Time
We booked a fishing charter for my son's birthday, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! He and his friends had a blast out on the water and loved catching some big fish. Captain Phil and his first mate were fantastic, knowledgeable, easygoing, and just genuinely fun to be around. They created a great atmosphere and kept the conversation flowing, which made the trip even more enjoyable for the boys. Highly recommend this charter if you're looking for a memorable day on the water with a crew that knows how to make it fun and successful. Thank you for helping make my son's birthday one to remember!

The captain and first mate were both easy to talk with and experienced. It was a good time, other than the waves were too rough for my stomach. I did get to puke over the back of the boat a couple of times, so that was fun. We brought home some very nice fish.

Great time on the lake
Captain Phil and his first mate Wyatt made for a great charter Friendly and experienced. I was amazed at how fast they setup and began fishing. June is always a tough time to fish the lake but they got us on some fish and the boys we took were able to land a laker and a steelhead. Thanks again
