Captain Daryl and First Mate Erik made the experience a very memorable trip. They brought us out and found tons of fish right away all it took was for the fish to bite and they did. The two other people I had went with all caught their PB sized fish. It was a great trip all around and Daryl and Erik were a great crew. We will definitely be going next year for different in season fish.

Wanted to do something with my teenage boys that we would always remember as I don’t get a lot of time with them since me and their mother are divorced and I work on the road.  The captain and first mate worked their asses off to give us a trip to remember and they Nailed it!!!!  I would definitely recommend Merganzer Charters for anyone looking for an adventure….

I took my 85 year old Dad and some 10 and 12 year old boys out for the first time on the big lake, everyone had a great time hanging out and catching plenty of fish with Daryl and Eric.  They were skilled pros who kept finding us fish, while making it fun for the group.  Will go again!

My 13 year old son and I enjoy fishing but have never paid for a fishing charter before. After our first trip with Captain Daryl we are hooked!

We cant wait for our next trip with Captain Daryl (Merganzer Fishing Charters). My only complaint was with using the **hidden content**. When it was time to meet up with Captain... More

Me and another dad brought 4 boys under the age of 11 on their first great lakes fishing charter.  Daryl and crew delivered!  super patient with the kids, they kept the enthusiasm up and we caught some of the biggest lake trout I’ve ever seen!  Great memories today!  we’ll be back!
