Your Fishing Charter

When it’s time for a bit of relaxation in nature, Chromeseekers is here for you. Join Captain Dan and Keygan on a fishing trip in the Betsie River, near Frankfort, MI. Few things are more enjoyable than a few hours in these serene waters. Leave everyday life behind and step into a new world!

Your trip takes place aboard a 15’ Stealthcraft drift boat or Keygans 16 stealthcraft power drifter. .

Salmon starts entering the river in mid to late August and ends around mid-October. On the Betsie where the captain fishes, the peak season is usually between Sep 1 and Oct 7. At Tippy on the Big Man, it’s best between Sep 10 and Oct 10. Fishing is not always based on the calendar and runs can happen anytime between August and October. If the fishing is poor on the river you chose, the captain will make suggestions to fish the other river.

Steelhead starts up the rivers in October and lasts until May. The peak times are from mid-October to November as well as March and April. Due ro freezing conditions, we will not run any trips under 30 deg through fishbooker.

Any trip Captain Dan is nit always availble to run trips so Keygan will get any over flow. Everyguide is put through training to offer CS clients great experiences. Therefor we can accomandate more trips.

Captains will fully cover your fishing equipment and even bring a lunch of burgers or Bratwurst sausages to keep you going if you book an 8-hour trip. You’ll need to purchase a fishing license in advance and bring any drinks you'd like to enjoy. If a 3rd person comes, they must bring waders. 

**Due to increase in cancellations once your trip is booked you will owe the remainder of the $100 deposit to Chromeseekers Sportfishing. This is refundable if we have to cancel due to weather. Cost of the trip will be the same as what fishbooker charges not including gratuity. Thank you

Chromeseekers is always there when you need an amazing freshwater adventure. Check out other listings on its profile.
