Capt Gabe put us on the fish, was patient with the kids, and made sure everyone had fun. He fileted all the fish after and packed them in our cooler. Could not recommend this charter any more for someone with a family/kids/anyone. Great time! Would book again in the future. Bring a cooler, sun screen, and make memories!

second year going with Captain Gabe. Been on charters and this guy is one you want. He’s passionate about fishing and you will have a ball. book early because hes not going to have room for long. We got 4 man limit in the morning. Gabe will get you on fish and hes got great equipment and boat.

Never have I ever written a review. Good or bad. But Gabe and Nick (1st Mate) were absolutely incredible. We had a 0500 Charter, Gabe and Nick were ready and waiting for us. His boat was super easy to find, once he stopped using the dreaded North, South, East and West directions!! “Left at the dumpster.” Better than any GPS. His boat was clean and well equipped. Myself, husband, son and Grandson were the fishermen. We caught a ton of fish, in our opinion. Both Gabe and Nick said that it was a “slow day”. We were thrilled with our catch. Bad weather was rolling in, which Gabe was monitoring and well aware of. Got us all back in one piece. Was it expensive? Yep. But worth every penny and then some. Almost three weeks later, we are still talking about what a great day it was. Gabe and Nick both played such an important part in making it so enjoyable and memorable. We would all recommend Elsie Charters. Thanks Guys!! We appreciate all of your hard work and especially helping us make some beautiful memories.

We had an incredible time on our recent fishing trip in Manistee with Elise K Charters. From start to finish, the experience was professional, fun, and memorable. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and involved.

The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the captain clearly knew where to find the fish! We caught plenty and had a lot of laughs along the way. The entire trip was smooth, well-organized, and a great way to enjoy a day on the water.

This was one of the highlights of our year, and we’ve already decided we’ll be booking again with Elise K Charters for our annual fishing trip next year. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch charter experience on Lake Michigan!
