Trustworthy Capitan

5 Hour Trip (PM)2 adults

Upon arrival Capitan Dave let us know that the fishing was slow and gave us the opportunity to cancel. We decided that bad day of fishing was still better than a good day of working and went out. We took an afternoon trip and based on the mornings catches discussed amongst Capitan Dave and other charter capitals we took another route than most. Capitan Dave and crew did everything in their power to get us on the fish. It was admittedly slow at first but the conversation was good and before long we started hitting. Ended up with 10-12 hits and 6 fish in the boat on a day that started with many charters getting nothing. All in all we'll be calling upon Captain Dave again.

    Amazing we caught large fish and limited out in two hours!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Caught fish fast and furious right from start. At one time had five fish on lines. I’ve been out at ludington four different years and never caught them so fast and of this size.

    Captain Keen put us on fish!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    We went out for a PM charter. Captain Keen behind the wheel. A couple preteen boys who had never been out before and we were still able to go 8 for 13 on a pretty rough night. The captain and first mate was excellent-patient and calm with us and coached us through it. Overall we loved fishing with them and would go again!

    Fantastic Trip

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain and captain were dedicated to giving us a fun trip. 12 fish in the boat is a great day any day of the year.. Captain Cale was busting his ass, always looking for a way to improve the odds.. a grasp of technology. Worked hard always changing up what wasn’t working. Great experience for everyone
