While the fish weren't bitting excetionally hard, we were able to catch a few. Captain Phil an Tyler were wonderful in teaching us so many new things, answering all our questions and they were in constant contact with other fishng charters to find the best options for fshing. We had beautiful weather and it was a fabulous day!
This was our first experience booking a charter fishing trip and it could not have been better. Phil the Captain and Dan the first mate were very knowledgeable and super accommodating. We were running 12 poles at all different depths and we ended up catching five very good size salmon. We took a slab and a 1/2 to a local restaurant where they would cook it. Absolutely amazing lunch! If you want a great experience do not hesitate to book Catch-A-Bunch!!
Great fishing with you and glad you enjoyed.
Captain Phil put on fish within minutes of leaving the doc. What a great time and we lost a few but we caught alot of fish. Salmon fishing with catchabunch.
Great fishing with you guys. Hope you enjoyed the fish.
Couldn’t ask for a better experience even though the weather slowed the fishing down. Captain Phil did everything to get us some fish caught. He was also great to talk to very accommodating and kept our kids entertained. I will not use any other charter in this area. We will be back for another trip.
Thank you and enjoy the wedding tonight.
Conditions were not the best but was still able to land some great fish.
Thank you. And hope you enjoy the fish.

My father was one of the first charter captains on Lake Huron. I started first mating for him around 12 years old. Now with over 40 years on the great lakes i have my own business and am professionally sponsored by numerous companys.
