    Great day on Lake Michigan

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    This father/son duo were friendly and worked hard together in locating and catching fish. At the Captain's suggestion we left a little earlier than the normal start time. It was well worth getting up a little earlier! We caught a limit of fish including king and coho salmon, steelhead and brown trout. The captain and son filleted and bagged the catch for travel home. Also, we were able to get our 2-day licenses on the boat. I definitely recommend AA Phoenix Sportfishing.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Brown Trout
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    Great time with great people

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    We had an awesome time with Action Adventure Phoenix Charter! From the moment we got on the boat, Captain Forrest and Steven treated us like family and made sure everyone had a great experience. We were on fish almost immediately and ended up catching 10 salmon! Their setup was excellent, everything was organized, and they worked hard all day to keep us on the fish. At the end of the trip, they cleaned our catch and packed it up so it was ready to take home, which made everything incredibly easy. If you’re looking for a fun, well-run salmon charter with a hardworking crew that truly cares about their guests, I highly recommend Action Adventure Phoenix Charter. Thanks again to Captain Forrest and Steven for an unforgettable day on the water!

    Reported catch:
    Lake Trout
    Chinook Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Knowledgeable and Personable

    8 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    The crew has remarkable experience. They are personable, responsible, and professional. They were able to hook every fish that bit. They have quite an arsenal of line types, lures, temperature sensors, GPS, and quite a few lines out at once. They really made sure they equipped themselves with a strong arsenal to give you what you paid for what they can control. The boat has an interior you can rest as well as a restroom on board. The interior has a sofa too. The only issue is that the cabin smelled a bit like cigarettes. It was a great experience and I would sign up again if I am going fishing again.

    Highly recommend fishing with AA Phoenix Fishing Charters

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captains Steven and Forest were great. They are a great team and made sure we had a great fishing trip. Captain Steven recommended we leave at 4 since the Salmon were biting best early in the morning. He was right. We caught our first Salmon by 4:30 and it didnt stop until we caught our limit. Captain Forest was amazing helping my 2 sons and I with rigging all of the lines and racing back and forth handing us the poles when there was a fish on. Thank you Captain Steven and Forrest for such a memorable fishing trip. We can't wait to do it again.

    Excellent Family Outing !!!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults

    From the time we arrived for our trip, Captain Steven John and First Mate Forrest were extremely welcoming and friendly. The knowledge and professionalism of the crew was reflected in the timely manner they got us to the area we were going to fish. It was shortly into the trip that the first fish was caught, and it continued for the remainder of our excursion. It is a trip that the family will always remember and we cannot thank Captain Steven John and First Mate Forrest for a wonderful successful day.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
