    Great experience - Would recommend and book again!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    We went out yesterday with Mitchell from C&D Charters and had an awesome time. The weather wasn't ideal, as it rained off and on all morning. However, the boat was set up nicely even for that, as there was a roomy cabin and a small portion of the deck that was covered. Mitchell was ready to go at 6am when we arrived, and we were out on the water right away. We had four adults, and there was plenty of room for everyone, and it wouldn't have been terribly crowded even if we had six. The rods, reels, and other equipment were of good quality and well taken care of. Mitchell worked very hard to keep us on fish, and to keep all the lines in the water other than when we were reeling them in with fish. Despite the weather conditions, we were pulling in fish very quickly after getting out on the water, and the four of us limited out before 9am. He did a great job of cleaning the fish and they were all packaged up nicely for our coolers for the ride home. All of us in the group have done many charters in the past, and this was one of the better ones when it came to having good equipment and taking good care of us while on the water. The communication setting up the trip with Chad was clear and timely, and we had all the details ahead of time to find parking and the boat when we arrived. Mitchell was great, and we'd plan on requesting him for future charters. Highly recommend!

    September fishing trip

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    Captain Mitchell was excellent! He was personable, knowledgeable, and very familiar with both the boat and the lake. We caught several fish during our trip, and Captain Mitchell did an outstanding job throughout the entire experience. He was especially helpful in calling out where the fish were and guiding us along the way. We truly enjoyed our time on the water and would highly recommend Captain Mitchell for a great fishing experience.

    We had a great experience!!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Chad was great, very helpful and knowledgeable. We had our limit in just a couple of hours. I will definitely book again and would recommend him for anyone including first timers! The boat was spacious and had comfortable couches to hangout in the cabin on our trip out and back in. Chad had our fish cleaned and bagged up prior to get back to shore.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Response from Captain

    Bad day of fishing beats a good day at work

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 6 adults

    Captain Chad was cool to hang out with for a few hours. Unfortunately we didnt come closw to our limit, but that should he somewhat expected with an afternoon trip. It was still a great day to be out on the water and shoot the breeze, fishing was just a bonus.

    Excellent fishing!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    A September Saturday morning and we limited out in four hours. I love Coho and we caught 75%. Captain Mitch was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and had the whole trip planned out and it worked to perfection. Already looking at booking for next year.

    Response from Captain

    thank you for the great review!

    My boat captain Mitch was amazing. I caught several fish and even asked to end the trip early due to catching so many fish in such a short period of time. We caught King Salmon and one Brown Trout.

    Chad was awesome and put us on fish quickly and we caught our limit. We will definitely be using C&D charters from now on whenever fishing Lake Michigan. We couldn’t have asked for a bettet day and a greta captain.

What's biting with C&D Charters in Port Washington

Most of the boats are out of the water by November, and you might even see Lake Michigan icing over. Why not try your luck and fish from the pier for Trout?
