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.

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... More

We booked a charter and did not know what to expect? However, the overall experience was great. From the moment we boarded the boat till we arrived back. Captain Brian was so friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and I ended up catching 11-13 fish. Some Drums, Catfish and Bass. We caught a huge Catfish which we kept. We fished out of the Spring Lake area because it was more active and we only had a two hour charter. We had started getting bites as soon as we started to troll. I will book again with... More

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... More

My son wanted to go fishing for his 13th birthday. The crew was great with the boys. We were on the Kings early. Caught 5 in the first 90 minutes. The water was pretty choppy (we had a sea sick boy) so we left some time on the clock and return 90 minutes early.  All in all, we had a great time!  The boys will remember the experience for years to come.
