    Great day with a great captain!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout • 6 adults

    We celebrated a bachelor party by going for a fishing charter trip with Captain Bob and it went great. The synergy and knowledge between him and his first mate helped us to have a great day out on the water. He was unbelievably professional, patient, and kind. It's clear he has a love for helping others and sharing his passion for fishing with others. We highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

    Slow day fishing made enjoyable by a great Captain!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM • 5 adults

    We had a very enjoyable evening trip out on the Lake. It was possibly the last big water fishing trip my 83 year-old father is able to take, and Captain Bob and Alan did a great job accommodating him and making sure he caught a fish. The boat had plenty of room and the Captain worked hard throughout the whole trip trying to get the fish to hook up.

    Successful Trip!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM • 3 adults

    First time on a charter in Michigan and it was a great experience. Capt. Robert and Alan got us out there, set about a dozen lines and we were fishing. Fish were biting erratically, but we ended up with 5 Kings on 6 or 7 hits, so good success ratio. We had a great time. Would definitely do it again, and on this boat.

    Great Fishing Experience!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM • 6 adults

    First time adventure for 5 first timers. One grandson who caught a King Salmon, another grandson caught a Coho and King Salmon, another caught a Steelhead, and one of the older grandsons caught a Coho. Captain was very knowledgeable and informative. This Charter was the only way our grandsons could catch salmon at this time of year.

    Core Memory for my Kids!

    5 Hr – King Salmon/Lake Trout - 4:30 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We are so thankful for our time with Captain Bob. After some early rough water we went 8/11 and made some forever memories. My kids are 8 & 9 yrs old and had a great time. I was thankful for the respectful conduct of the crew to make this a family friendly outing. Would highly recommend!

    First time going charter fishing, Captain Robert is amazing from start to finish! Had to cut our trip a little bit short due to myself getting “sea” sick. Definitely would book a trip with Captain Robert again! Thank you!

    Beautiful day of fishing with the Captain and first mate Allen. They were very helpful with my group as this was the first time for most of them. We each had an opportunity to reel in fish. A lot of funfor all of us!

What's biting with Bent Dreams Sportfishing in Frankfort

If you're interested in flyfishing, the fall is a great time to try fishing Betsie River. You could be hooking into some Steelhead as they move through these waters.
