Background
Captain Darrin Howard has been fishing his entire life. As a kid, he couldn't wait for the school bell to ring so he could run home, grab his fishing pole, and go down to the river by his house to go fishing. Today, he holds a 50-Ton Master Captain’s License and is a proud member of the Michigan Charter Boat Association (MCBA). He’s been an avid fisherman for almost four decades now and has the knowledge and passion to have you land the fish of your dreams! Capt. Darrin strives to help local conservation efforts and treat the environment with “Reel Respect.” He invites you to join him on an incredible journey and create lasting fishing memories with him and his crew!
Techniques
When on Lake Huron, Capt. Darin prefers trolling for Walleye and Salmon, as well as jigging for Lake Trout and Perch. When fishing off the Atlantic coast, he enjoys anchoring for Bluefin Tuna.

34 walleye and 1 pike. Great group.
Had a full day trip. Wasn\u2019t looking good for the time of year and success of other anglers on other charters out on the bay but...fortunately for us we had the Captain and First Mate that would not let us off the water anything but satisfied!
