    The boys landed some big fish

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing charter fishing trip out of Frankfort, MI with Captian Mark on Real Fishin. The boat was clean, safe, and well-equipped and we were amazed at how many lines were in the water at one time. Captian Mark knew exactly where the fish were biting, and we reeled in a great catch of Steelhead, Coho salmon & Lakers. He was was helpful, friendly, and great with our group which included 2 young boys ages 14 & 12 on there very first charter boat adventure. We cannot wait to book another trip next summer. My sons still can not stop talking about the biggest fish they have ever caught!

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Lake Trout
    Chinook Salmon

    helpful for mobility issues- thank you.

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Thank you, Captain Mark and Bob! My parents and I had a wonderful time fishing. thank you for the extra help and support with our mobility issues with getting on and off the boat, getting around the boat to take turns catching fish, and for having the chair available for my Dad to reel in a few fish while sitting. I’m sure my dad is already telling stories about catching a whale in Lake Michigan.

    Reported catch:
    Lake Trout
    Coho Salmon
    Chinook Salmon

    Captain Mark knows his stuff!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Cap'n Mark's goal was to get us into fish. His knowledge and skill combined with top quality gear and equipment got us into them! I highly recommend Real Fishing. we came away with nice fillets of King Salmon and Lake trout which he had cleaned and bagged in short order. A great experience!

    Took my wife and adult daughter on a first time charter. The captain was very accommodating and coached my daughter on landing her first salmon. Both of them spent the rest of our weekend camping trip talking about how much fun they had! Captain Mark used his experience and put in the work to get us on fish. Smiles all around and would definitely recommend Real Fishing Charters

    Captain Mark was WONDERFUL! My husband walks with a cane; and he brought his boat all the way thru the channel to meet him at a special dock to help him board. The fishing was top notch; and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you book your next charter here! Everyone caught fish, and had a wonderful morning on Lake Michigan! Thank you, Capt’n Mark! We will be back again!

What's biting with Real Fishin in Frankfort

If you're interested in flyfishing, the fall is a great time to try fishing Betsie River. You could be hooking into some Steelhead as they move through these waters.
