A Fantastic Evening with True Blue Charter Fishing!

Half Day Trip (Mid Day)3 adults2 children

I recently took my two boys, Ethan and Luke, out for an evening fishing trip with True Blue Charter Fishing, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Captain Luke and his assistant Aaron were an outstanding team—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. We ended the evening with an impressive catch: 7 fish total, including 2 king salmon and 5 lake trout. The pace of the action was perfect—just enough time between catches for the boys to catch their breath and get ready for the next big one. It was exciting, but never overwhelming. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and all of the gear was in top-notch condition. You could tell these guys know their stuff and take pride in what they do. They made the entire experience seamless and fun, especially for my kids, who haven’t stopped talking about it since. I can’t recommend True Blue Charter Fishing highly enough. Whether you’re an experienced angler or heading out for your first time, this is the crew you want. We’ll definitely be back!

    Memories

    Half day trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had a great half-day fishing trip with True Blue Charter while visiting Traverse City with my wife and our two kids. We caught 11 fish, including 5 kings and several lake trout, and had fishing action the entire trip. Luke and Troy were both true professionals, with years of experience growing up charter fishing in the Traverse City area. Communication leading up to the trip was excellent, and they were incredibly patient with our 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. Our son especially loved catching his first king salmon—some of the kings were nearly as big as he was! I would highly recommend True Blue to anyone looking for a professional, family-friendly fishing charter in Traverse City. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great fishing trip and great service!

    Half day trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    We did a half day morning trip with True Blue and Captain Luke. Couldn’t be happier with the trip and service. The boat was nice - well maintained and plenty of room for our party of 6. Luke is everything you’d want as a captain of a fishing charter. Extremely experienced, friendly, hard worker, and great instructor for the kids (and adults) on the trip. I’m convinced that we wouldn’t have done as well with someone who didn’t work as hard as Luke did. We caught a bunch of really nice lake trout, and everyone in our group got in on the action. We had a blast! I highly recommend True Blue Fishing Charters!

    We caught King Salmon, lake trout and a coho salmon. My husband and I had the BEST time on our morning trip with Captain Luke and his mate. The weather was perfect, the sunrise was beautiful and we caught our limit. We will definitely come back every year!

    Great time

    Half day trip (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    Perfect for anyone who wants to fish. A short boat ride to fishing spot and shelter waters so not huge waves. We had great luck with Luke and Troy. Friendly. Knowledgeable and very kind and patient with children. Our 8 year old grandson went two days in a row and loved every minute
