North Muskegon, United States
100+ reviews
Captain Chad Kozik developed his passion for angling when he was just 5 years old; thanks to his dad and grandad who took him Walleye fishing. One thing led to another and now he has over two decades of fishing experience in the area around Lake Michigan. Capt. Chad and his crew have been competing professionally since 2005 and can boast 16 first place finishes and multiple top-10 placements. There are many more accolades they've won, best left to the man himself to explain them!

    5hr fishing trip • 6 adults

    Capt Chad did a great job getting us on fish. First mate Chad (yes, same first name as Capt) did an excellent job keeping all lines in the water. We had consistent action during the trip. We caught a variety of fish and took home over forty pounds of fillets.

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

    The captain and crew were very experienced and did all they could to get us on some fish. It was our first time fishing on the lake and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Had a great time and caught some awesome fish!

    Amazing!!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Both the Captain and Jake were fabulous. First time doing this they helped my 2-21 year olds and my husband tremendously. I sat and observed. Would never go with anyone else. I was a little nervous heard alot of horror stories. Walked away with 10 salmon fish, after fileted it was over 60 pounds. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

    Fun Experience

    5hr fishing trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing day fishing on Lake Michigan! The captain and his mate were knowledgeable and friendly, and we caught a few King salmon and a trout. The boat was clean, the equipment was top-notch, and the whole trip was fun from start to finish. I highly recommend this charter and would definitely book again!

Sprink kings are snapping

Right now, we are finding some really nice fish and 40 to 70 foot of water. Seems like blues and oranges are what they wanna snack on. Fishing should remain good for another couple weeks.
