    Great experience!

    Half Day Trip – Trolling • 3 adults

    There were 3 of us and we had a total of 15 fish on but did not land 4. Certainly not the captain's fault. The boat was clean and well organized. Capt. John never stopped hustling to keep us in fish. He kept trying various lures and methods to get us fish. His first mate, his wife, did a great job operating the vessel. Both were very pleasant and fun to talk with. We had a great time!

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Chinook Salmon

    best charter we had in years

    Half Day Trip – Trolling • 5 adults

    Captain Jon and first mate Tracy were great. They were very knowledgeable, super helpful, and incredibly pleasant. They made the experience feel like they were part of the group. We will be booking them agian along with recommening them to others. We charter out of luddington almost every year and capton Jon and Tracy were by far the best we’ve had in years.

We truly love chartering out of Ludington, and having wonderful people like you on board is exactly why we do this. We cannot wait to welcome you all back for your next trip! Thanks again for the recommendation! Can't wait to hook up with you guys again. Captain Jon and Tracey

    Detroit Fishing

    5 Hour Morning Detroit River Trip • 4 adults

    Great fishing trip with a good guide! Not the best conditions out but captain Jon kept us on the fish. Moving spots when we weren't catching anything to keep us active and engaged! Weather was cold but we still managed would recommend him for a guide to anyone and everyone in the future. I know we'll be using him again! Great trip for me and the kids!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you. Looking forward to fishing with you guy's again Capt Jon
