Captain Tim Becker has fished Lake Michigan for over 25 years. He's also the co-owner of Powderhorn Guns and Archery in Holland, MI. He's a fun person who loves to take out families, kids, beginners, and seasoned anglers. No challenge is too great for this knowledgeable and patient captain! Capt. Tim works alongside Captain Matt Doozan, another avid angler, who brings even more to the table (literally)! With these two specialists on board, you're in for a very productive day.

    Grandpa, son and two grandsons had a blast!

    3 Hour Trip – Lake Macatawa • 4 adults • 2 children

    This trip was our first time to fish on water. Our experience had been very limited fishing from the neighborhood pond. I’m so glad we booked this adventure. We landed 6 of 18 “fish on line” with my 6yr old grandson reeling in 3 for day. The crew were young but very knowledgeable since they grew up working on the boats. The 3hour tour was the perfect time for us 1st timers. We all had a great time! The only thing that I wished they had was a scale to weigh the fish we caught for bragging rights 🤣🤣

    Reported catch:
    Freshwater Drum

    great time!

    3 Hour Trip – Lake Macatawa • 5 adults • 2 children

    fantastic experience! we had an almost 5yr old, 8yr old, and 10yr old. this was a first time fishing beyond creek/small lake/land fishing for most of us. the 3hr excursion was a great option - ideal time of day and length of time. we got many fish! same kind but that was to be expected. the captian and his co-captain in training were great company with fun stories. would recommend and will book the longwr bigger trip next summer!

    third time with powderhorn

    5 Hour Trip – Lake Michigan - 4:00 PM • 5 adults

    when you find a charter team that makes the experience pleasant no matter how the fish are biting, you stick with them. powderhorn has been that for us. only reason we were a little "light" on fish this time was because some of us (won't name names) couldn’t seal the deal and land their chances... we'll be back with powderhorn again in the near future for sure.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon

    Great trip for everyone involved!

    Full Day Trip – Lake Michigan • 4 adults

    I took my in-laws and pregnant wife out with Captain Nate and Randy for a full 7hr day. It was awesome! They did not hesitate to share knowledge, and they worked their ass off to make sure we had fish. Nate is one of the captains that is constantly on the water, so I highly recommend asking for Captain Nate and Randy with Powderhorn Fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Lake Michigan • 4 adults

    we went out with Captain Nate and Ethan. Both were great. we hit fish almost immediately and had 4 within an hour or so and ended up with 9 total. they worked hard to keep us on fish all trip. we got our last one in the last 15 min of fishing so it was perfect. they made it very easy for us. they were enjoyable to hang out with for the 5 hrs of our trip. definitely recommend. thank you!

    Me and my family very much enjoyed our trip! The captain and first mate were great company, friendly and outgoing. They made sure we got the most out of our time there. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew, will definitely book them again! Thank you!

    We took our 13 yr old grandsons and they loved every minute of it! Caught 11 fish and boys had a blast with it! They learned a lot from Capt Tim, who made the trip exceptional! Highly recommend Powderhorn!
