AMAZING CHARTER!

Half Day Trip – Trolling2 adults

I recently spent a day salmon fishing with Captain Jon and his wife Tracey, and it was exceptional from beginning to end! Captain Jon and Tracey worked seamlessly together—friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They balanced relaxed conversation with precise guidance, making the experience enjoyable whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer. Their charter vessel was spotless and well-maintained, with everything neatly organized. Equally impressive was the high‑tech setup: top-tier rods, advanced electronics, and premium reels—all the kind of gear that reflects a serious commitment to quality and performance. We came close to tagging out on salmon—large, lively fish all day long. Jon and Tracey were always ready with advice, line assistance, and encouragement, ensuring that even slower moments were still enjoyable and educational. Clean boat, advanced gear, and a warm, capable crew—this charter really delivers both comfort and results. If you’re planning a salmon trip and want a stress-free, memorable experience with folks who know their stuff and are genuinely fun to be around, Captain Jon and Tracey are the perfect choice. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

    best charter we had in years

    Half Day Trip – Trolling • 5 adults

    Captain Jon and first mate Tracy were great. They were very knowledgeable, super helpful, and incredibly pleasant. They made the experience feel like they were part of the group. We will be booking them agian along with recommening them to others. We charter out of luddington almost every year and capton Jon and Tracy were by far the best we’ve had in years.

    Response from Captain

    Hi Tom, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that we made your charter the best one in years. It means a lot to both of us that we felt like part of your group and could provide such a great experience. We truly love chartering out of Ludington, and having wonderful people like you on board is exactly why we do this. We cannot wait to welcome you all back for your next trip! Thanks again for the recommendation! Can't wait to hook up with you guys again. Captain Jon and Tracey

    Great experience!

    Half Day Trip – Trolling • 3 adults

    There were 3 of us and we had a total of 15 fish on but did not land 4. Certainly not the captain's fault. The boat was clean and well organized. Capt. John never stopped hustling to keep us in fish. He kept trying various lures and methods to get us fish. His first mate, his wife, did a great job operating the vessel. Both were very pleasant and fun to talk with. We had a great time!
