Great fishing trip

5 Hour Trip5 adults

We started catching fish 15 mins into the trip. Art and Lilly kept us on fish for the first 2 hours. Other charter captains were reporting no bite on this day . Captain Art done his homework before our trip and knew where to find fish for us. First mate Lilly was fishing wish beyond her years. She obviously grew up fishing lake Michigan. Very skilled and helpful. The bite slowed for a short time. Then we got into the fish again. We ended our trip boxing 8 nice fish, releasing 3 smaller fish and had 9 get off. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend Bucket List to fishermen of all skill levels. Thanks Art and Lilly for a great trip.

    Great Experience

    6 Hour Trip6 adults1 child

    We had a great time with Bucket List Charters! The water was a little rough, but the boat handled it extremely well and we always felt comfortable. The crew worked hard the entire trip to get us on fish despite the tough conditions. They were especially great with my 12 year old son, helping him reel in his first big King Salmon, which made the trip even more memorable. Great crew, amazing experience and a lot of fun—we’d definitely go again!

    Best trip you could ever do!

    8 hour trip1 adult

    This trip was a trip I took for my mom who wanted to do this. She never got the chance to do so before she passed away last month. Captain Art and his deck hand Max were very incredible to me. We hit our limit in a very short time so I know my mother was helping us. It was a perfect morning with a perfect crew. I am going to rebook with the Bucket List year after year!

    Fun trip!

    6 Hour Trip5 adults

    I think we got somewhat lucky, but we also had great help from the captain and first mate - caught 19 total fish!!!! Quite a few salmon and some large lake trout. First mate Lily did an awesome job landing the fish and keeping the poles in the water for the maximum fishing experience! Outside the fishing, it was a beautiful morning and was awesome even just seeing the sun come up while out on the Lake. Well worth the money!

    Exceptional Family Trip

    5 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM6 adults

    Our family of 6 had a great time with Captain Art & First Mate Brian. They were both friendly, patient, kind, knowledgeable & so much more. Everyone in our family was able to land a fish & we all had a blast doing it. I would definitely recommend Bucket List Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a great day out on the lake.
