Absolutely. This was my third successful trip in two years. Also had three cancellations due to weather. Nothing can be done about that. Safety first!

Take a look at at some youtube videos on how to reel in salmon so you can minimize the number of salmon that get away

Make sure to get address of where you will meet in the morning. Google originally advised us to get a hotel on the riverwalk, which was farther away from the actual dock. The Super 8 was most convenient.

If child isn’t old enough to reel in a large fish, don’t bring them. They’ll be bored, you’ll be annoyed and captain will be frustrated. Not fair to anyone.

Book with Elsie K Charters as Cpt. Gabe is the best! Don't forget the snacks, drinks, a rain jacket and a sweatshirt or something warmer for the evening trips. It does get a bit cool on Lake Michigan in the first and last part of the season.

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.

Set your expectations-Mike wants to catch fish more than anyone-but it’s called fishing-not catching. Just look to enjoy the day and hopefully you catch a nice bag
