Great communication on short notice!!

Half Day Jigging Trip2 adults1 child

It is always a good experience when you catch fish but I give this trip a high rating for other reasons. First, the communication and accommodations were first rate. We were dealing with an another Captain cancelling on us last second. Another issue is that there was a thunderstorm coming through when we were originally scheduled. We were able to reschedule times to avoid the weather and make it so we could get home on time. Secondly, the boat was Perfect for comfort and fishing. At one point we had 4 fish on and although it was chaotic there was room to ge all of the fish on board. There was also plenty of room to relax as we were waiting for fish to bite. Highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend Golden Hour Outdoors!

    Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM • 2 adults

    We had an amazing experience with Golden Hour Outdoors! Our captain went above and beyond by starting our trip early so we would have the best possible chance of catching salmon, and it definitely paid off. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure we had a great time. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to have a successful trip and enjoy the experience. We had a fantastic time and made some great memories. I would highly recommend Golden Hour Outdoors to anyone looking for a great fishing charter!

    Absolutely wonderful trip!

    Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays • 2 adults

    Can't recommend Josh enough. had an absolute blast of a time. Josh was punctual, had great communication and really knows where to find fish. We limited out on Trout and decided to try for Salmon even though it was a little early in the season. Josh worked his butt off to get us a fish; scrambling to change lures and trying different tactics. Josh would not give up and finally got us a very nice King Salmon. Cant recommend him enough.

    Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM • 3 adults

    After having another trip we had scheduled unfortunately run into some engine trouble and cancel, we found Golden Hour Outdoors and scheduled a morning session. Captain Josh was great. Worked his butt off to put us on fish and got us our limit. Had a great time and enjoyed catching Kings and Lake Trout. Caught some nice ones. Highly advise booking with Golden Hour Outdoors. Thanks Capt. Josh for saving our vacation and getting us on some fish.

    Our Capitan was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to fish with! Plenty of fish to take home or throw back. Great for fisherman of all levels. Would do again 100%!
