If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience on Lake Michigan, look no further than Originator Charters with Captain Jerry! I recently went on a charter with Captain Jerry, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we boarded the boat to the very end of the trip, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine enthusiasm for fishing.

Captain Jerry’s knowledge of the lake is unmatched. He knows where the fish are biting and how to catch them, no matter what your skill level is. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first timer, Captain Jerry tailors the trip to make sure everyone has a great time. He took the time to explain everything clearly, from baiting hooks to the best fishing techniques, and made sure we all felt comfortable throughout the day.

The boat itself, provided by Originator Charters, was clean, spacious, and well-equipped for the trip. It had all the gear and safety equipment needed, and it was clear Captain Jerry takes great pride in maintaining his boat to the highest standards. We had everything we needed to enjoy a safe and productive day out on the water.

As for the fishing, it was outstanding! We managed to catch a variety of fish, including some beautiful lake trout and salmon. Captain Jerry kept us engaged throughout the day, offering tips and keeping things fun. He was patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about the sport of fishing. It was clear that he cares deeply about his clients and wants to make sure they have the best possible experience.

On top of the fantastic fishing, the scenery on Lake Michigan was breathtaking. The calm waters, fresh air, and stunning views made for a relaxing and enjoyable day on the water. The entire experience felt like a mini-vacation.

I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Originator Charters and Captain Jerry. This was hands down one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to go back. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Jerry’s expertise and friendly demeanor will make for an unforgettable day on Lake Michigan!

I am not an experienced angler by any means, Captain Jerry made it very easy for me and my son ,to catch some extremely awesome fish that day. He even suggested that if I didn’t have much experience on a boat, to make sure to take Dramamine the night before and the morning of our excursion. I think that was a lifesaver. We had a great time and caught limit that day, he just seems to know where the fish like to hide out at. Great time and we will be booking another fishing trip with Captain Jerry.

We had an excellent time fishing on the Originator with Captain Jerry Link!

Spacious/ clean / organized- the Originator is equipped with latest hardware for the expert offshore fishing experience.

We caught king salmon, coho salmon and lake trout.

We fished far offshore in deep clean water.

I recommend fishing with Jerry- bring yourself refreshments, sun glasses, hat and jacket.  You will need a cooler and ice to bring your fish home!
