Captain Ernesto was fantastic.  He put us on fish the entire trip.  His boat and equipment are outstanding.  He was great with my grandson.  We have taken numerous fishing charters in Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia.  This trip was the best we ever had.  I highly recommend this captain and charter to anyone.  Absolutely the best!

We had a great fishing trip and a great barbeque at Montrose Harbor right afterwards!  The fish were big and delicious.  We caught one 25-30 lb king salmon, one steelhead trout, and two lake trout.  That’s more than enough to feed the six of us for several meals, but the captain said we were unlucky to have caught so few: the typical number at this time of year is closer to 7-14.  As our time was running out, I (as the trip organizer) was feeling bad that not all of us got to fight a fish.  Without any of us asking for it or even hinting that we wanted it, the captain stayed on the lake for an extra 70 minutes, for free, so that we could all have a go at reeling in a fish.  We all deeply appreciated his generosity.  The captain also offered a very useful free service that isn’t listed on Fishing Booker, but I won’t tell you what it is so that you can be as pleasantly surprised as we were. 

All in all, if you want a great time on the lake with a great captain and first mate, I highly recommend this charter!

Excellent captain (Ernesto) and first mate (Leo).  Friendly, helpful and worked hard to make sure we caught fish.  Our nine year old grandson caught some large salmon, which were then cleaned, iced and bagged for us.  A great day on the lake.

Captain Ernesto provided an outstanding experience for my friends and I. We could not have asked for.a more productive and fun fishing outing. He took extra time and care to ensure that we found the fish and enjoyed ourselves The team was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and engaged in their craft. I could not recommend this crew enough. We had a blast! Hats off to Ernesto, Brian, and Max!

I took my 2 boys (aged 14 & 15) out for the 1st time on Lake Michigan. Captin, Ernesto & his 1st mate, Leo both met us on the dock & were extremely nice & welcoming to my boys & me. We headed iffy shore approximately 12 miles & proceeded to catch fish after fish. We had several doubles and two triple hits. It was a great day and a terrific crew! I would highly recommend Thin Blue Line Charters!
