    Best, charter I've ever had, salt or fresh water

    6 Hour morning trip – Discounts • 2 adults

    Captain stackhouse and Trenton are definitely experts on this. water and make every effort to ensure their clients have a successful trip.. we limited out in 6 hours with five or six large Chinooks, including one that must have weighed 20 lb, six cohos and five or six long running and high jumping steelhead. My son's first five fish iof his life were two coho, two large steelhead and two King, including the aforementioned largest fish of the day. I should note that I am disabled and have no use of my left arm. David or Trenton had to hold the rod while I reeled in;; They did so enthusiastically and effectively. they're both expert professionals and nice guys to spend the day with.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    My family went fishing with Captain David on September 7, 2026, and we had a fantastic experience! Captain David was very knowledgeable, friendly, and great with the kids. My kids were especially excited to catch several big lake trout and other fish during the trip. We all had a wonderful time and made some great family memories.

    Great Fishing Trip!

    Afternoon 6 hour trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    My sons (ages 11 and 13) and I went out for an afternoon fishing trip with Fish On and enjoyed every minute! The boat and equipment were clean and ready to go. Their expertise and patience helped us to reel in 7 fish (trout and salmon). Afterwards, they were quick to clean and bag the fish for us to take home. If we’re back in the area, we will be booking again!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Rachel we had a great time getting to know you and the boys. You all did a fantastic job and we would definately enjoy have you back aboard. That was a hot 🔥 tough afternoon for sure weather wise. Safe travels. Hope the boys enjoy that "bonus" football we netted lol

    Great fishing on the Great Lakes

    Afternoon 6 hour trip • 3 adults

    Hit the grand slam! All 4 fish species of Lake Michigan caught on a six hour afternoon expedition. Big catches with a very knowledgable father and son crew. They even cleaned and cut the fish for us, labelled them in freezer bags and put them in ice. A through Z service.  I highly recommend a FishOn, LLC.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Lake Trout
    Coho Salmon
    Pink Salmon

    three adults and two grandsons got up in the middle of the night to be there in time to get to the fish , our captain said it would be worth it and boy was he right he didn't have half the poles in the water when we hooked up we never spent a lot of time waiting between bites my boy's are ready to go back again. we enjoyed the trip and will recommend it to any and all.
