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

Jason & Mike worked together like a team. The fishing was tough. However they kept after it. Different colors, changing depths, reversing direction… Then in the last hour it turned on with 5 more fish. Our last one was a 20 lbs Lake Trout. It took 20 minutes to get it in the boat. Those 2 worked hard and it made the difference of us catching 1-2 versus 7 on a tough day. Wonderful boat, great equipment, and good company. Would highly recommend this charter with Top Dog!

Captain Tim and First Mate Mitch took amazing care of our group for an early Father’s Day fishing excursion. They put us right on fish (6 massive lake trout and 3 coho), the boat was clean and comfortable and Tim did great work cleaning the fish for us at the dock. We’ll be booking with this crew again!

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.
