    Half Day Trip - Warmwater Species • 2 adults

    My son and I had a great time fishing the Muskegon River with Captain Steve. We caught plenty of small mouth. He knew right where to go to catch them. Captain Steve is a great guy and would highly recommend him for your next fishing charter.

    No better way to spend a day

    Half Day Trip – Salmon & Steelhead • 2 adults

    Captain Scott was a pleasure to fish with. From the moment we stepped on the boat he was kind and inviting. He puts you on the fish and makes the trip fun while your doing it. We caught steelhead, rainbows, and brown trout. I cant wait to do it again!

    Great Day with my Son

    3/4 Day Trip - Warmwater Species • 2 adults • 1 child

    We booked this trip for my son’s 13th birthday. It was 100% money well spent. Steve was a great guide. Super patient and knowledgeable. My son is a fisherman and I am a novice. Steve helped us to figure out where the fish were biting and how to fish them. He helped us out of about 150 snags during our six hour excursion. That day was super easy and super relaxed. We want to go back already!

    Great afternoon out!

    Half Day Trip - Warmwater Species • 2 adults

    We were so lucky to have Steve as our Captain. His knowledge of the river and where the fish were, coupled with his sense of humour and a lifetime of fishing knowledge meant that we had a really great trip. Two of our party had never fished before but thanks to Steve, they became very proficient and caught lots of fish! Thanks Steve😁

    This trip was a 75th birthday gift for my dad. It was the first time any of us had fished on a river and Captain Steve made it a great experience. My dad caught a fish on his first cast! We caught several fish and Captain Steve kept us rigged with gear and kept moving to where the fish were.

    Steve was friendly and fun to spend the day with. Knew the geography and the quarry. Spent the day working hard to put and keep us on quality fish and we boated plenty of beautiful salmon. Already looking forward to our next trip to Michigan and we won’t hesitate to fish with Steve again ASAP.

    Captain Steve did a great job. This started even before the fishing started by checking in frequently and made sure we didn’t have issues or concerns. He put us on fish throughout our 6 hr adventure. He was great with my 2 sons and even helped teach the oldest how to fillet the fish. We caught a 4 lb. smallmouth and several in the 1.5 to 2 lb range. Great day of fishing. Thank you Captain Steve.

We are back at it running charters and the fishing is good. We have 3 solid months to chase warmwater river species ahead of us. Smallmouth bass, walleye and northern pike. These are high action trips and the summer river scenery is awesome. And its never too early to book your fall salmon or steelhead trip with the chance to catch a trophy fish. These are popular trips and the prime dates go fast.
