I looked at several charters all over Michigan trying to find one that worked for us, and ended up going with this FishGH 3 hour offshore trip at 5:30pm. It was a surprise for our Boys, Westen (8) and Kensten (6), who love to fish back home in Southern Indiana. I’m glad we only did a 3 hour trip, because our 6 year old was feeling pretty sea sick, but he was a trooper.
    Fishing started off a little slow, but about an hour into it, we started catching stuff. We ended up with 4 Chinook/King Salmon and 1 Coho Salmon. Westen’s biggest was 18 lbs which was tied for the biggest fish our captain (Jordan) has had anyone catch this year so far. It was also the biggest king salmon our first mate/deck hand (Rex) had ever seen! That fish sure put up a good fight, it kept taking more line out (it was over 400 feet out!) so it took him quite awhile to get it reeled in! Kensten’s biggest was a 15 pounder. They filleted them for us right away and we brought home 24.5 pounds of meat! It was a great experience for us!

1st time trying out a fishing charter and it was perfect all the way around! Took my wife and 13 yr old daughter for the 2 hour trip just to see if they’d enjoy it before attempting to do a 4 hour excursion.
Everything from the ease of parking, the friendliness and knowledge from the crew…and the fact that we ALL caught fish made the whole thing worth it. We’ll definitely be back to do a 4 hour charter next time! Thanks guys for giving us a memorable experience.

Having been on several fishing charters on Lake Michigan, I can honestly say, being on the Kingpin with Captain Astro and first mate, Parker, was an excellent choice! The fish were slow, but that crew definitely worked for us.

It was my son’s first time out salmon fishing. The waves were a bit rough, and my son, well, he received the full “effect.” However, he stayed a Trooper and kept with it.

After booking, i learned that i needed to change the date by one day. Kingpin, within hours responded and with no hassle, and graciously accepted my new requested date at no charge.

Definitely a five star outfit! I would absolutely recommend the Kingpin with Captain Astro and First Mate Parker!

We had an amazing trip, we had 4 people and each one of us was able to land a fish. The crew worked hard, their knowledge and experience was very apparent and they did everything they could do make sure we landed some big fish. They were fun and made the trip even better. The experience with family is one you will never forget and was worth every penny. We went to a local restaurant afterwards and did the catch and cook program which was $18 per person and came with sides and that felt amazing and worth it too. Overall perfect little vacation that FishGH helped to make it even better!

Originally planned on offshore fishing for salmon and trout. But the waves were a bit much and they weren’t biting anyway so the captain still took us out a little bit and let us experience lake Michigan but then did some loops in the harbor so we could actually get on some fish. We ended up catching 5 (3 at the same time once, that was exciting.. lol). The weather was great, the lake was beautiful, we caught some fish. It really was a good time. Definitely going to try to plan another one but this time do it in August (when the Salmon are running really good). Captain and first mate did a good job of giving my son a memorable 13th birthday gift, I am very grateful.
