Excellent trip with Captain Dave and First Mate Chad.  Great guys, easy to talk to professional fishermen. We landed 6 and had at least 4 more opportunities. Solid equipment—no worries about safety or quality. Dave knows his stuff—constantly asked by other guides what he’s doing. I suppose that’s what 35 years’ experience gets you!  Highly recommended—both were very patient with our two little girls, and we all had a great time.

We were able to hook into some lakers almost immediately. Once the sun came up the fishing shit down but Captain Dave refused to quit. He changed out the lures multiple times and stayed in close contact with some other captains to find out how they were doing and what they were using. Unfortunately most boats did not have the greatest success (Possibly due to weather). Dave’s experience really shows. He even attempted one last trolling pass at another location before we returned to the harbor. I will definitely consider booking another trip through him again.

We came to catch King Salmon and that’s what we did. Hooked 8 king Salmon and landed 3. Including the master ranger award for Ludington area with a 29.14 lb King Salmon thanks to Captain Daves experience and knowledge of the area. We had an amazing time and definitely recommend Captain Dave with Salmon Slayer Charter if you plan on chartering the Ludington area.

Captain Dave Was great Did everything possible he could do to get us fish. two fish 22 pounds 23 pounds and one smaller Nobody else we’re catching fish out there that day Fishing was very slow But captain Dave never gave up I recommend him highly deftly knows what hes doing.

Fishing was slow had 6 on and landed 2
The captain had 15 lines in the water and stayed out an extra half hour trying to increase our catch
I will book wit him again
