  What a Fishing Trip!!!!

  5 Hr Trip Weekday Afternoon 6 max on August 13, 2025 • 3 adults

  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!!!

  Amazing experience!

  5 Hr Trip WEEKEND AFTERNOON 6 Max on June 29, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

  Thank you so much for booking a day on the water with us, we are so happy we could be a part of you and your sons (and his friend) memories. Also thank you for the good review, kind words and attention to the standard that I strive to maintain... not only in service and catching fish, but, in safety and also just having a fun time. Hope to see you back again some day soon. Give us a call any time. Capt JB.

  What a great way to celebrate our Dad!

  6 Hr Trip Weekend AFTERNOON 6 Max on June 15, 2025 • 6 adults

  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!

  Cynthia, thank you so much for booking us on Fathers Day. I really appreciate your kind words and review, thank you so much. I'm very happy your Dad caught 3 different species of fish, that is not always possible. Jacques and I enjoyed your family and hope you come back again sometime soon. So happy you had a wonderful time, and appreciated our efforts. Thank you for your generosity, come back fishing with us any time. Sincerely, Capt. Jason and.... my son, :) Jacques

  Hard work pays off

  5 Hr Trip Weekday Afternoon 6 max on June 26, 2025 • 3 adults

  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!
