Pier Pressure Charters 

I’ve been on many lake trout charters, but this one was hands down the best. captain Wes was the best with my you g kids 7,5, and 4. Captain Wes had no problem getting us onto fish. We hoomed up within the first ten minites. After that it was non stop action, and we doubbled up several times. Captain Wes is very respectful and extremely knowledgeable at what he does. Captain Wes has earned himself a lifetime customer. I strongly recommend going out with captain Wes. Thanks for the great time yesterday, truly appreciate it ~ Tim

Captain Wes Smith and Pier Pressure Charters delivered an outstanding day on Lake Michigan. From the start, Captain Wes demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the fishery, putting us on fish consistently throughout the trip. We ended the day sorting through multiple Lake Trout to reach our limit and also landed a beautiful King Salmon. We hooked into two additional Kings that unfortunately got the better of us, but that's fishing—and they certainly kept things exciting. The highlight of the trip was an absolute tank of a Lake Trout, the kind that looks like it's been enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet for years, along with a large King Salmon that put up a great fight. Captain Wes struck the perfect balance between guiding and letting us be hands-on. Rather than simply reeling fish in for us, he encouraged us to work the rods ourselves and even handle the netting, which made the experience far more rewarding. His professionalism, patience, and willingness to share his knowledge made the trip enjoyable for both experienced anglers and newcomers alike. If you're looking for a charter that puts you on fish while still letting you feel like you've actually earned them, Pier Pressure Charters is an excellent choice. We'll definitely be back—hopefully those two escaped Kings haven't spent the last week telling their friends about us.

Captain Wes thank you for a great day on the water! We took our entire family out for a day of fishing and we were not disappointed! Not only did we catch fish but we had lots of laughs! Captain Wes let us all be involved in the fishing which was awesome! From the moment we booked Captain Wes reached out to go over the booking and trip. The extra communication was great! The boat was super clean and comfortable for fishing. Book with Captain Wes, you won’t be disappointed!

This was a great family experience. It was our first time charter fishing andot exceeded our expectations. Thank You Captain Wes! We had a blast and the fun will continue looking back and the photos and cooking up our catch! Memories to last a last time.

Wes was amazing, and we had a ton if fun with him. We caught our limit if 12 fish, including 3 enormous 20+ pounders! We got to string them up for pictures, and service next door cleaned them right away for $6/ fish. We are coming back every year!!!
