  Highly Recommend Golden Hour Outdoors!

  Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM on August 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an amazing experience with Golden Hour Outdoors! Our captain went above and beyond by starting our trip early so we would have the best possible chance of catching salmon, and it definitely paid off. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure we had a great time. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to have a successful trip and enjoy the experience. We had a fantastic time and made some great memories. I would highly recommend Golden Hour Outdoors to anyone looking for a great fishing charter!

  Absolutely wonderful trip!

  Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays on August 7, 2026 • 2 adults

  Can't recommend Josh enough. had an absolute blast of a time. Josh was punctual, had great communication and really knows where to find fish. We limited out on Trout and decided to try for Salmon even though it was a little early in the season. Josh worked his butt off to get us a fish; scrambling to change lures and trying different tactics. Josh would not give up and finally got us a very nice King Salmon. Cant recommend him enough.

  Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM on August 6, 2026 • 3 adults

  After having another trip we had scheduled unfortunately run into some engine trouble and cancel, we found Golden Hour Outdoors and scheduled a morning session. Captain Josh was great. Worked his butt off to put us on fish and got us our limit. Had a great time and enjoyed catching Kings and Lake Trout. Caught some nice ones. Highly advise booking with Golden Hour Outdoors. Thanks Capt. Josh for saving our vacation and getting us on some fish.

  Trout sandwiches all week

  Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM on August 18, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Captain Josh quickly helped us land two king salmon, one 17 lbs, and then nearly hit our limit on trout, too. We got 11 fish in 4 hours. Fast, professional, easy, fun for everyone from ages 10 to 75. Great 50th bday present for my brother in law. Highly recommend booking.
