Our group from central Ohio had an awesome charter experience with Gabe.  It was well worth the trip and all had a great time.  Gabe was laser-focused during the whole trip to get us on fish and made adjustments to make sure we were setup for success. If you want kings in the boat on Lake Michigan, Gabe is your charter guy in Manistee.  Make the trip; you will not forget it.  You will leave with great fish and great memories! Can’t wait until next time. Thanks, Gabe

We arrived at the dock and were underway within minutes of stepping on board.  Captain Gabe and his first mate Nick were amazing throughout.  We caught a few king salmon early and then moved to trout later in the trip.  We were 3 novice fishermen n board and the pace at which we caught fish was steady and comfortable.  We ended up without 10 total , including an 18.3 lb. lake trout.  We will definitely be back next year and HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Elsie K. and crew!
