If you come from fishing smaller lakes, be prepared for a lot more chop out on Lake Michigan. We had 3-4 ft so it wasnโ€™t horrible. But it took some getting used to.

Trip was super cool. Me and two buds met Capt. Mike. Super cool guy, very knowledgeable, and we all walked away learning so much about fishing with different set-ups. Bass was the target and caught few good sizes. Definitely a positive experience, and we all agreed this is gonna happen again in the warmer months. 10/10.

Captain Daryl and First Mate Erik made the experience a very memorable trip. They brought us out and found tons of fish right away all it took was for the fish to bite and they did. The two other people I had went with all caught their PB sized fish. It was a great trip all around and Daryl and Erik were a great crew. We will definitely be going next year for different in season fish.

We went out despite the lake being a little rough, Captain and First mate were both very knowledgeable and knew exactly where the find the fish. We hauled in about 100 pounds of fish in 2-3 hours. Then the wind picked up so we headed back to port. If you want to catch fish, these guys know what they are doing and I plan to take my son out there again sometime soon.
