Over 25 years of experience fishing on Lake Michigan and its surrounding waters. In the early days I began with my own boat and eventually worked my way up to first mating for some of the best captains in the where I was lucky enough to learn directly from them. Since that time I eventually purchased my own boats and began guiding on my own.
I also operate a YouTube channel (Tangled Tackle Fishing) that is dedicated to helping others become better anglers on the big lake and the rivers.

Mike MahonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Guide!
Five Hour Guided River Trip • 3 adults • 1 childChris was awesome and he made my two teenage sons feel really comfortable on his boat. Chris was honest with me the day before our trip telling me that the run had slowed down dramatically but we decided to try our luck and both of my boys caught steelhead.we fished several spots throughout the morning and he shared a lot of information about fishing the Manistee river. It was a great day on the river.
Response from CaptainThanks Mike! You guys were a great group to have on the boat and I’m looking forward to fishing with you all again.

Kyle Ostrander5.0River steelhead trip with Capt. Chris
Five Hour Guided River TripWent on a river steelhead trip for my birthday and capt Chris delivered with a trip I won't soon forget. From the top of the line stealthcraft to the nova tackle rods and terminal tackle everything about this trip was as professional as it gets. If you are looking for and unforgettable experience then look no farther than dark blue charters and guide service.

Joshua Wegner5.0VerifiedGreat time on the Manistee river!
Four Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 childWanted to get away for a weekend with my son and do some fishing. My son loves to fish, but I don’t have much experience so I figured a guide would be the way to go. Chris was absolutely fantastic. He was well equipped with everything we needed and was very personable and knowledgeable about the river. We had quite a few salmon on the line and some epic battles!
Response from CaptainThanks Josh. You and Simon were a pleasure to have on the boat and you both did a great job against some hard fidgeting fish.
Elisabeth NiemanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFun Trip!

What's biting with Darkblue Charters and Guide Service in Manistee
The rivers hold good numbers of Steelhead and the occasional Brown Trout in October, especially the Manistee River. Head to Lake Michigan before the season closes to target a variety of fish.
