Take the time to learn how the fish react to your fishing methods. Find out what works and doesn’t. Having a knowledgeable guide or instructor / friend is a very big step up toward getting prepared to legally hook and land kings.

As long as the weather is good, I don’t think you can go wrong. Seriously one of the best lakes I’ve ever been to/fished. Absolutely beautiful and would recommend to anyone

Dress warm, bring comfy clothes and snacks. If you get sea sick take a Dramamine and remember that fishing is about patience and reeling never stops lol

Excellent fishing lake. Not too big, plenty of variety, and low traffic compared to a lot of other Michigan lakes

Fishing is fishing! As Capt. Bob says, "the best time to go fishing is when the fish are biting"! Now, if anyone can predict that, you would make millions.......

This trip was bought as a gift for my boyfriend. Him and his dad said it was the best fishing trip they had been on...hands down. Leonard is knowledgeable, fun, patient and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience and a ton of fish! He even took a bunch of pictures and text them to us. Highly recommend.

The weather was overcast and perfect for catching a musky. Our group was 4 adults and an 11 & 1/2 year old boy who caught his first musky. He is now officially a muskymaniac!

Salmon have not yet started their run, but I caught one anyway due to Brad’s expertise. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He knows the Manistee, where the fish are, where the snags are, was so nice to fish with for my daughter and me. Best guide I’ve ever had on a Michigan river, and I’ve been coming up here for years.

There's not much to say, really. The captains are all great and they will take care of you. Do bring some snacks and drinks along, though.
