Captain Sonny and First Mate Josh took us on an evening trip on lovely Lake Michigan.ย It was our 26th Wedding Anniversary and our three lads were with us.ย We bagged so many fish.ย 3 enormous Lake Salmon and one healthy trout.ย Our freezer is stocked!ย Josh was very professional and explained the lures and equipment needed.. Captain Sonny had some fascinating stories about his adventures on the water.ย We were able to pay for the trip and tips right on the boat,ย which was very comfortable!ย Josh expertly cleaned and bagged our fish and recommended getting a food sealer which we did that night. Thank you for a wonderful experience Captain Sonny and First Mate Josh!

Our family of six (ages 11+) had an amazing time on our first fishing charter!ย We had been watching the weather all day as it looked like a storm was heading our way for the evening.ย Sure enough, after about 30 min of leaving the marina, the winds picked up and the rain started.ย Captain Sonny and Hunter skillfully brought us through the storm.ย After about 45 min of crazy rain, waves, and hail, the storm quieted and we picked up fishing where we had left off.ย Hunter was a first-rate skipper, handily dropping and playing the lines to help us land a cooler full of fish.ย When we returned to the marina, it was dark and the power was out, but Hunter wasnโt phased.ย He set up to clean and fillet our catch using the flashlight from his phone!ย Thank you so much, Sonny and Hunter, for a memorable evening out on the lake!ย (The storm was the icing on the cake!!)

Our family (3 young adults ages 18-22 plus mom and dad) booked this fishing trip because of a recommendation from my sister who fished with Sonny 2 previous times.
We had a wonderful morning of fishing. Great communication prior to the trip and everything was ready to go on time. Sonny and Hunter worked well as a team. Sonny found the best area to get the fish and Hunter worked incredibly hard with the lines. They were both very personable and friendly.
We caught our daily limit of Lake Trout plus a Cisco. Hunter filleted all of the fish for us so we could bring it home with us. Absolutely recommend to others looking for this type of experience. Thank you for helping us create memories!

Captain Sonny and First Mate Hunter were awesome- Hunter got everything situated and both worked together to make sure we had fish to catch! Really appreciated them allowing us to bring our 4 month old boxer puppy.
We caught 4 enormous salmon on a perfect evening on the bay. The Captain was exceptionally kind to my father and Josh was skilled at assisting with the reeling, and was personable as well.
