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!
The fishing was quite pleasurable. We caught most fish in the early morning with still a little night cover. Thundersticks worked great. Then we moved to drifting beads and bait. Had many hits but was tough to sink the hook. Overall Ken did a fantastic job.
Captain Brad was awesome! very helpful especially with my dad who is not experienced in this type of fishing at all. we didnt catch any fish unfortunately but we hooked into plenty and still had a great time out on the water. would highly recommend making the trip with brad!
Brad was awesome- he taught me how to cast and was so incredibly patient. His stories are awesome. He works so hard to make sure we catch fish - I caught an amazing steelhead fresh out of the lake, along with trout and bass. I cannot wait to book again with Brad.
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!
