Took my grandson (14 years old) and his aunt out for a day of real fishing.  We’re all novices to the sport of fishing, catching only bluegills and a few bass in a small pond.  But this was the “big time” on Lake Michigan.  Capt Jason and his crew made every effort for us to catch fish…... and they came thru!!!!  He gave us instructions on how to work the fish and how to reel in the catch; it was a workout!!!!  We caught some good size Lake Trout and some salmon.  It was a day and a trip that we’ll never forget!!!  We’re already talking about another trip with Capt Jason later this season or early next year, setting our sites on catching some more big ones!!!

We had such an incredible experience with Top Dog Fishing Charter! I brought my 15-year-old son and his friend, and it was hands down one of the highlights of their summer. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome, safe, and completely taken care of.

The captain was not only professional and experienced, but also patient and fun—he took the time to teach the boys some new techniques and kept the energy high the entire trip. They were both absolutely thrilled to catch some amazing fish and learn so much along the way.

It’s not easy to impress teenagers, but Top Dog delivered a day they’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend for families, especially if you’re looking for something memorable and exciting for your teens. We’ll definitely be back!

Jason & Mike worked together like a team.  The fishing was tough.  However they kept after it.  Different colors, changing depths, reversing direction… Then in the last hour it turned on with 5 more fish.  Our last one was a 20 lbs Lake Trout.  It took 20 minutes to get it in the boat.  Those 2 worked hard and it made the difference of us catching 1-2 versus 7 on a tough day.  Wonderful boat, great equipment, and good company.  Would highly recommend this charter with Top Dog!

Screaming from the rooftops that Top Dog Charters is the best! Captain Jason Baldwin and Jacques (or as we all called him, Son) were fantastic! Their energy, passion, dedication and hard work to ensure that we understood all aspects of the trip (equipment, technology, techniques, types of fish caught) were amazing and they were more than happy to answer all our questions. They worked tirelessly to get us setup to successfully catch fish and we appreciated every bit of it. We lost some but we caught a lot more than we lost. Let me also mention how clean they kept the charter, always spraying down after every catch. Grateful that they also cleaned, filleted and packed our catch. They definitely go the extra mile!! Thank you so much for making our first fishing trip and our Dad’s Father’s Day so special. We wish you much success and highly recommend you to all!

We consider ourselves lucky that we’ve got on Captain Jason’s fishing adventure.
He is so skilled, and fast reacting and knowledgeable. Couldn’t get anyone better!
Besides the thing that our son caught a lot of fish, we just enjoyed the boat ( very nice and clean) and the great company.
Arthur is saying:“Thank you for this experience and for letting me catch a huge fish!”
Highly recommend trying it for yourself.
