Captain Caleb knew all the tricks. He was patient with our lack of experience and was super informative on lake history fish species. Moreover, he was easy to strike up a conversation with making the experience that much more enjoyable. His goal was to make sure we caught fish and experienced the most amount of time on the water by coordinating launch site to increase fishing time. Amazing experience. Would do it again and would recommend tj anyone visiting the UP even if you aren’t into fishing.

Captain Caleb was wonderful to work with for a four-hour fishing expedition.  He had great gear and it generated an average of 3 large fish per person.  The four of us had mostly fished on inland rivers and lakes, so this was an awesome Great Lakes experience. We appreciated his cleaning the fish when we were done. We hope to be back in late spring & will certainly use Black Shadow Guide Service again then.

We booked our second trip with Captain, and it was another successful afternoon/evening on the big water. This time, we went out on Lake Michigan, and we were immediately hooked up. The Captain does an amazing job helping and teaching the kids. The boat setup is fantastic, and we really enjoyed ourselves again. We will definitely book another trip again. Thank you!

We had a great time with Caleb on a morning trip. I booked the experience for my boyfriend’s birthday/Father’s Day. It was a beautiful day and we ended up with six beautiful Lake Trout. Caleb was super knowledgeable and helpful, plus just a cool guy to hang out with. Highly recommend!

I don’t know what I expected prior to the trip. As it turns out my best description would have to be that it was like going out with your buddy who has all the gear and knowledge to share with you. He did all the things that required his skill and we did what we were comfortable doing.
