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... More

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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... More

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.

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... More

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

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!

We consider ourselves lucky that we’ve got on Captain Jason’s fishing adventure. He is so skilled, and fast reacting and knowledgeable. Couldn’t get anyone better! Besides the thing that our son caught a lot of fish, we just enjoyed the boat ( very nice and clean) and the great company. Arthur is saying:“Thank you for this experience and for letting me catch a huge fish!” Highly recommend trying it for yourself.

Tatiana thank you for the kind words. You and your family were wonderful and easy. I’m so happy we helped make your sons birthday memorable. He did awesome on the big fish (a fast learner). Come fish with me anytime. Capt. Jason
