We have fished mostly saltwater party boats and charters this was our first trip on Lake Michigan . The trip was perfect. Weather conditions and easy seas. While trolling isnโt my favorite I understand this is how itโs done. We nailed them. For a 4.5 hour trip the action was hot. We brought in 8 fish of various sizes and species , King , Coho, Lake And Steelhead and our arms were sore. It reminded me of the forearm pain of summer Bluefishing on Long Island. The sun peaked out at the end which slowed the action. So book a day itโs cloudy ( like ours was for the first three hours) and Capt Bud will put you on the fish. Be prepared for sore arms and trading off for others to pick up when you get tired because you will . 400 - 500 ft out with a large fish on is a workout. I highly recommend this boat, you will make memories and bring home plenty of fish. You will be Winning for sure. Thanks Captn Bud you are a great angler- oh and he ran the boat himself without a mate โฆ..Go fishing everyone !!!!!

Thanks for coming Wolf! You guys were a joy to have on the boat and Iโm gonna say it was the sun and not the country music that we changed to that shut down the bite ๐
Bud and Ashley showed us a great time! Boat was clean and roomy and all of the equipment was in great condition. They worked extremely hard to get all 10 lines into the water as soon as possible and it paid off! We landed our first while they were still getting set up. All in all we brought in 3 Lake Trout, a Coho, and 6 Kings. Trip was definitely the highlight of the weekend. Highly recommend and we will definitely rebook when we are ready to go again!
Thanks Mike! You guys were a great time. Glad we were able to get the whole family out on the water. Maybe weโll see you next time weโre in Daton!
We booked this charter during our family reunion.ย My brothers, sister, and our grandson joined us for a fun and busy morning.ย Captain Bud scarcely had the lines in the water when we had our first bite, followed moments later by the second!ย All in all we caught an even dozen good sized fish and several had sore arms and shoulders.ย The Captain and Mate were generous in answering our questions and engaging in conversation. My husband and I agreed in was one of the top 5 in a long list of charters over the past 40 years.

Thanks Pam and Richard, glad we were able to get you on some nice fish during your time with family!
Captain Bud was awesome! He had us on fish before all the lines were in the water and made sure the kids had a memorable experience. Heโs not only knowledgeable, but we had great conversation the whole trip. I would recommend him to anglers of all skill levels and we canโt wait to spend a day with him again!
Thanks for fishing with me Scott! You guys did awesome getting the fish in the boat and weโre super fun to be around. If I ever make it down your way, youโve gotta take me catfishing!
