Despite the struggle of summer Michigan fishing and our low catch total, we were beyond impressed with Captain Brad. He was very informative, answered all of our questions about the area, made us laugh, and put every effort forth to make sure all members of our party caught something. It was a beautiful morning and we couldnโt have been happier with the experience. Do NOT miss a trip with the Manistee River Fishing Company!
Brad was kind, courteous, and an excellent guide out on the river. I never caught steelhead before and he was able to teach us how to land these brutes in no time with some float fishing. His boat setup is great and we were comfortable the entire trip. Just make sure to dress warm like you would for ice fishing. If you want a great time trying out something that isnโt ice fishing this winter book a time with Brad while you can. I know Iโll be booking him again!
We have been on multiple different fishing trips and this was the most fun by a long shot! The river was loaded with fish that were biting, we caught multiple 15-18 pound chinook as well as a 44inch 29 pound monster of a salmon and a surprise 24 inch steelhead! Brad was by far the best and most helpful, friendly / easy to talk to boat captain Iโve ever experienced. We had beginners and experienced fishermen on our boat, Brad taught a method none of use had used and got everyone up to speed quickly and answered all questions. Everyone caught multiple fish after a very short learning curve! We will definitely be returning for another trip as soon as possible!

My son (15) and I had a great day on the Manistee River with Captain Brad!ย Captain Brad got us on fish early and often and kept us on fish all day. Although it was a bit colder (temperature) than we expected, the fishing action and heated enclosure kept us warm the entire day. We netted 10+ fish, the largest at 15 lbs. Already talking about booking our next trip with Captain Brad. Thank you for a great and memorable day!
Brad was a great captain! My son and I had an awesome time. Brad took us to all of the spots on the river and made sure he kept moving to find the fish. He was professional and communicated with us right away when I had questions about trip. My son caught a 20lb catfish so that was really exciting for him. We also caught some nice trout. Overall a great day on the river. Highly recommended!!
