Art and his wife Krystal were the best!  Art has extensive knowledge of the lake having spent a majority of his life on it. It was a slow start for all boats on the lake that day, but it turned out very good for us.  In addition to using all of their fishing equipment - Art and Krystal’s gut instincts in finding the fish cannot be understated.  It was supposed to be me and my son, but when I found out Lake Michigan was going to be flat I made a last minute decision to also bring my wife and 3 young daughters.  We had made a road trip from Atlanta and I wanted my kids to see where I had grown up, experience things I did as a kid, and create a life long memory for them.  Art and Krystal helped do just that with a special and memorable trip!  Besides being great at finding the fish they were very accommodating and hospitable.  They brought their black lab which my kids enjoyed snuggling up with and had coloring books and bubbles for my girls.  They were patient when we had the littles taking turns reeling in our catch.  Art capped off an already perfect day by tracking down a king two minutes before we headed in - that I got to reel in.  This fishing experience has already been told by my kids many times as we visited our family throughout the state.  Whether you go out with the guys, are entertaining clients, or are bringing your family I would highly recommend Bucket List Fishing Charters!  Thank you again Art and Krystal!!!

Captain Art and Crystal are absolutely fantastic! From start to end nothing but the absolute best customer relations! Our group of 6 had the best time we could have hoped for from beautiful quality fish to laughing and story telling none stop with them. On top of all the knowledge they have and are more than willing to explain and teach. Bucket list is the go to! Will definitely be repeat customers for years to come!

Even with rough water conditions Cptn. Art made it a great experience. We landed a monster King Salmon and a nice sized lake trout. If conditions had been better I know we would have caught more. Art and his wife were a great team and fun to hang with on the boat. Of note, Art was very communicative prior to the trip and had plans set to adjust to weather and the bite. He’s not afraid to switch it up the game plan at halftime. We appreciated him cleaning our fish at the end of the day. Overall 10/10 would highly recommend and will go back to him again in the coming years.

We had a Sunday morning trip with my wife and twin teenage boys. Art has a very comfortable and clean boat. Him and Ben are always about keeping everyone happy and targeting fish and figuring every which way possible. We caught Coho’ and Rainbow Trout, which are absolutely beautiful fish. Such a fun trip! Oh easy parking and great boat location.

Captain Art took me, my partner, two of our kids, and my dad out for an evening fishing trip. Art was very communicative up to our departure. He was keeping an eye on the weather and making sure we had a backup plan if the weather went bad. He was flexible in ensuring we got off and were ready for a great trip. His boat was clean and well-stocked with equipment! Captain Art’s main concern was that we all had a great time and caught some fish. Captain Art and his first mate, Adam, did not disappoint!! We had a fantastic time learning all about lake fishing on a charter boat. They showed the kids how the fish finder worked (my youngest favorite pastime on the trip), told us what they were looking for in water conditions, how the weather affects the fish, and lots of fun tidbits. The best part of the trip was catching the fish! We had a couple jump the line, which was disappointing, but we all caught fish, and took home a huge haul. Our biggest catch was a 15-pounder. If we head up to Wisconsin again, you can bet we will be booking with Captain Art again!
