We had a great trip. My family limited out on Lake Trout, caught one king salmon and a steel head.. Chris and Jeff had a general idea of where the fish were and once they found proper depth it was game on. very knowledgeable and very friendly environment. Thanks guys

Drove up from NKY to experience fishing Lake Michigan and we were not disappointed. Headed out in dense fog before sunrise-Chris has us rigged up right away and the fish wastes no time biting. The day was a beautiful and calm + comfortable boat,+ friendly captain and plenty of fish to take home. Caught 8 sizable lake trout and 2 dif types salmon. Would love to come back in spring or summer.

Great day with captain Chris!
5/5
My son Blayne and I fished with Chris on sept 8th. Chris used all the tricks in his book to put us on fish. The lake conditions were difficult but Chris got it done. We limited out on lake trout and one short of a limit on kings. Chris is a great guy and a fun person to be on the water with. He works very hard on the boat to maximize your opportunity. I highly recommend him.!!

Excellent day on Lake Michigan bringing in Lake Trout and King Salmon. Captain was professional and friendly, but the First Mate was the reel star of the show!
