Maykin Baykin Charters 

WOW! 🤩🤩 Captain Bob and 1st mate Kevin were amazing! This was our families first time being on a boat and to Lake Michigan. Our son who is 9 had the best time of his life. They really made this day memorable. We caught 10 out of 15 fish and to top it off we hit the GRAND SLAM! We caught all 5 species in our afternoon trip, bringing home lots of fish! If you’re looking for a charter I highly recommed this one. Captain Bob and 1st mate Kevin are very knowledgable and work very hard to get the fish. Thanks for the memories and looking forward to another trip with you soon!

We went out with Capt Kevin and Steve and these two guys were AMAZING! They did anything and everything to get fish on the line! We were a group on non-smokers and it was great to have a Capt. & 1st mate not chain smoking which we’ve experienced before. I can’t say enough good things about the trip, we had 4 of us and we caught 9 fish! Some monster trout and a salmon too! They worked the waters figured out what worked for that day and made got fish on the line. They were great people and handle the boat and us crew well and with respect! My only suggestion would be to tip in person, we tipped electronically cause it prompted me to (which was fine) but the experience we had I really wish I would’ve handed them cash to really say thank you! Thanks Kevin & Steve WE WILL BE BACK!

Trip started off slow and hard with 4 rods that went and we just couldn't get a hook to hold in a fish. A little time went by and we had another rod go and got a nice steelhead in the boat and that was the start to a great ending. we had slow and steady bites out to the end of the chater from there. we ended te evening with 1 lake trout, 3 steelhead, and 2 kings, one of which had to be close to 20lbs. Captain Kevin worked his butt off to put us on the fish. As he was packing up for the night we had a triple go and landed 2 of those fish. They did great as we had a 3 year old out with us. we will be back for anther trip in the future!

Captain Kevin was awesome, he worked hard all day to get us some good catches. First mate Steve was a joy to be around and had some great stories to tell. We had 4 people and caught 5 big fish. The boat was clean and well equipped, the crew was able to answer all of our questions, and we had a ton of fun. 100% will use this charter again. Top tier people, top tier fishermen. If the crew is reading this Marine Bob says hi.

We had an awesome time!!!! Capt. Kevin and Capt. Steve worked so hard to get us on some BIG lakers. When they weren’t biting, they persevered and finally found the correct depth/tackle combination to get the big ones fired up! Caught at least 6 fish over 10lbs along with some smaller ones - everyone in our got the chance to fight and land some fish and we went home with a full cooler! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Captain Kevin and 1st mate Glenn were absolutely fantastic. This was the 1st time we have been on Lake Michigan with the boys and didn’t know what to expect. We could not have asked for a better experience. The boys landed 21 of 22 hooked fish and we brought home a ton of salmon and trout! Highly recommend! Captain Bob booked us and checked in on our booking in a timely fashion. True professionals in South Haven! A+

We had the best time ever with the Makin’ Bacon fishing charter! We left right on time. Bob and Kevin kept us entertained the while time with jokes and stories and worked tirelessly to make sure all the rigs were optimally positioned. Was my first time in a private charter and it was a blast hauling in double digit nice fish. Want to make this an annual tradition with the family!

Bob and Kevin were so much fun to spend fhe day with. We got an amazing trout haul and had a blast doing it. Bob and Kevin were super honest regarding weather and waves and as flexible as they could be with rescheduling so we could enjoy our outing to the fullest. We will book witu them again in the future. I highly reccomend this crew.

Captain Kevin and First mate Steve Hightower were absolutely fantastic! We had managed to wrangle in 19 fish on a perfect weathered day! I can say, the four of us were tired and sore, but left very blessed for a great time! If you're looking for a charter, Look no Further!

had a wonderful time, the captain and his deck hand were terrific. so friendly and fun!! bonus is we caught fish! their knowledge of the lake and how to shift to find fish is amazing. thanks for the partnership of Captain Kevin and Steve.
