So we showed up at 530 in the morning and wouldn’t you know there was a huge storm and we couldn’t go out. Captain Jerry was very accommodating and allowed us to pick a time later that day to go out since ethe storm as around for the next 4 hours or so. I was afraid we would have got lost like Gilligan if we would have tried to fish so we came back and the skipper and his son were great. They were full of information and good stories. The fishing was a bit slow, likely due to the storm, but we caught 2 very nice lake trout over 8.5 lbs each and then hooked into a mother of a salmon. She was 23 pounds (biggest of the year so far). Wore my friend out. The captain and son did a great job of making sure she didn’t get away and helped my friend keep the pole taught so she didn’t slip off. She was a beauty and we enjoyed her thoroughly later that night. We had a couple tangles that the captain and helis son set a land speed record getting untangled so we could be back in the water fishing again. I can’t say enough nice things about these guys. Great family, captain and experience fishermen. I highly recommend them. You won’t be sorry. Thanks guys for everything.

We had a fantastic time on our fishing charter with Prime Time Fishing.  Captain Jerry and his son Taylor were great and really helped us find the fish and were awesome with my 2 kids as well.  We caught a bunch of Lake Trout that Taylor cut and cleaned for us and we brought it to a local restaurant that fried up our catch for us and it was delicious!  I would definitely recommend Prime Time Fishing Charters and will definitely book with them again when I return to Traverse City.

We didn’t have a first mate but Jerry took good care of all 6 of us.  We all caught fish and he even let us help with piloting the boat (actually adjusting the auto pilot).  Jerry was a pleasure to spend the day with and he asked if we wanted to take a group picture on the boat and he then dressed the fish on the boat so we could fish longer.  Jerry was a very accommodating captain and gave us ideas and options to make for a very enjoyable trip.  Thanks Jerry, Great Trip!

We had an absolute blast.  My 10 and 7 year old girls were each able to reel in a fish,and the captain and first mate were great!!  We had tons of questions, and they didn’t mind patiently answering and helping us learn a little about the trade.  Mr. Walkowiak was great at finding the fish and we caught more than enough.  Highly recommend these guys.

We had a great fishing experience and we all caught a fish, lake trout.  Next time we will make sure to get up earlier and or take the evening charter.  It was a lot of fun and Captain Jerry and his son Taylor were very friendly and made it easy to catch the fish.  Will definitely try and do a salmon charter next year late August 😀
