Fish Napper Charters, LLC
Fish Napper Charters invites you to enjoy a fun and productive day on the mighty Lake Michigan. Based in St. Joseph, the company specializes in connecting their clients and friends to the wonders that this Great Lake has to offer.
On your day out, you will be fishing with Capt. Nate Ender – a local angler and a third generation charter captain. Michigan native, Nate grew up mastering the waters of the lake out of St. Joseph and knows them like the back of his hand. With Capt. Ender, fishing is better on your side of the lake!
Fish Napper operates the ‘Admiral Hook’, a 38’ custom-built Trojan Express boat. With a wide 14’ beam, the vessel gives you and your guests a very spacious fishing deck. The Admiral Hook comes powered by Crusader engines and is rigged with fishfinding and navigational electronics to build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding.
Bring your family with you and let the Admiral Hook take you trolling for the best species Lake Michigan has to offer. You will be able to get your hands on Lake Trout, Perch, Steelhead, and Chinook and Coho Salmon.
Fish Napper will provide you with rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and a complimentary fish cleaning service. You will need to purchase a valid Michigan fishing license for anyone older than 17 and bring your own snacks and drinks.

Half Day Trip - Salmon & Trout (AM)
Unforgettable Salmon Fishing Trip!
We had the best day out on the water! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and so much fun. We caught a ton of salmon — more than we expected — and the captain made the whole experience enjoyable and easy, even for those of us who aren’t expert anglers. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting, and we’re already talking about when we can go again. If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience with great people and a nice amount of salmon, this is it. Highly recommend! 🎣
