I recently spent a day salmon fishing with Captain Jon and his wife Tracey, and it was exceptional from beginning to end!

Captain Jon and Tracey worked seamlessly together—friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They balanced relaxed conversation with precise guidance, making the experience enjoyable whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer.

Their charter vessel was spotless and well-maintained, with everything neatly organized. Equally impressive was the high‑tech setup: top-tier rods, advanced electronics, and premium reels—all the kind of gear that reflects a serious commitment to quality and performance.

We came close to tagging out on salmon—large, lively fish all day long. Jon and Tracey were always ready with advice, line assistance, and encouragement, ensuring that even slower moments were still enjoyable and educational.

Clean boat, advanced gear, and a warm, capable crew—this charter really delivers both comfort and results. If you’re planning a salmon trip and want a stress-free, memorable experience with folks who know their stuff and are genuinely fun to be around, Captain Jon and Tracey are the perfect choice. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

For my birthday, I wanted to finally start checking off my bucket list. Couldn’t have had a better captain and deck hand! They were so awesome as humans to begin with, but on top of that, we got a nice amount of salmon and a steelhead. What a beautiful day! The boat was clean,comfortable, and well equipped. I can’t wait to go on another adventure with this same charter! Thanks for everything!

Captain Mike and Jon split the boat… So it creates great flexibility for being able to go out consistently. On this adventure we had captain Mike…there was a recent cold front that caused the fishing to be a little challenging, but he was working with some of his captain friends who helped us find fish, and we had a blast. He’s just a fun guy to hang out with on the boat. My son had a ball. He even let him help clean the fish and taught him how to use an electric fillet knife. My son thought it was super cool.

Highly recommend this charter! Captain was fantastic, wind was pretty significant but captain Jon kept us vertical and jigging at all times. Found walleye in all the spots he took us! Equipment he provided was great and we had a fantastic time on the river. Have taken other charters, this was by far the best. Marina his boat is at has plenty of parking and very clean restrooms.

John and Tracy were top notch! Beautiful boat and equipment! They were both awesome with my 8 year old daughter as well! I’ll definitely be booking with them again when I make it back to Ludington!
