My friend and I went out on a charter with Fishin Da Net late season (October 11th) and had a lot of success landing 3 King Salmon, 3 Steelhead (rainbow trout), and 1 lake trout between the two of us. Dave worked hard with his crew to put us on fish, consistently altering techniques and figuring out what was working and focusing on that. Dave and his crew were freindly and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend charting with them and hope to be back next season.

I have had many charters from lake michigan to the florida keys .
Captian dave and deck hand todd did an incredible job the bite wasnt hot but they pulled evry trick i knew and then some to make absolutly sure we put fish in the boat there equipment was top notch and the spread they put out was perfect for a 4 hour trip ended with 5 quality kings and a pig of a rainbow they were willing to stay out to get our limit but we had to get back to checkout of our hotel so we ran back grab our lugage and todd was kind enough to wait for us to take pics
Eccelent charter thanks todd and dave

We booked our fishing trip with Dave. He was very communicative during the process from beginning to end. He made lots of suggestions on what we should bring and not bring and kept us up-to-date on the weather. His boat was very organized. He had tons of fishing gear. He did not waste any time he got us in the water immediately And we started getting a bite within the first 30 minutes of the trip. We caught numerous fish and he made it very enjoyable for each family member to go through the process of really efficient and catching it. He was very well mannered and kind hearted. We’ve experienced trips where the guides have foul mouthed and he was not like that at all. He took his time to explain the history of the lake and the fishing process. He took detailed time to filet each fish and package it up for us. Not only was this the best trip we’ve ever been on he did one of the best jobs as a guide I’ve ever seen. 100% recommend him hands down. Will come back again one day.

Both men were very nice on the boat and we had a fun time.  It’s just hard to swallow to spend that kind of money for just two fish.  This is the 3rd salmon charter I’ve been on in the last 5 or so years. Each time I’ve been with different charters with little to no success.  Could be bad luck or fishing on Lake Michigan might just be bad. 

Overall, Dave was very nice so I wouldn’t hesitate to go with him as a captain, but just wondering if it’s worth spending the money on a trip when there are 5 people on a boat and only two people catch one fish each.

Took my wife and son and son in-law for a morning charter. Weather was great and sun rise on the water is an experience it self. First time for the son in-law. He is hooked on the great lake fishing. And one off his bucket list. Boat was very comfortable and with a toilet on board wife was more comfortable if needed. Captain Dave and first mate Todd know what they are doing. We had 3 limits for take home. Thanks for the experience Fish’n da net.
