Best trip ever!

6 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

We recently went on a charter with Captain Ken and had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we caught fish before the trip was over. He took us to multiple spots and gave helpful tips on technique that made the trip even better. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced fisherman, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Ken. Great atmosphere, great guide, and an overall awesome experience.

After a bit Brad hd mved is several times getting us 3 more fish for a total of 6 salmon! of course we lost a handful as it does go that way sometimes.

    Our New Annual Tradition

    8 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    This fishing excursion was absolutely remarkable. I appreciate Brad‘s professionalism even before I arrived with quickly answering some of the questions I had as a first time Michigan salmon fisherman. It was beautiful to get the boat out there while the stars were still in the in the sky, and we had a great spot where there was little to no maneuvering despite there being so many boats out at peak season. Brad was very patient and pointed out so many things to educate us and give us the fullest experience; I even leaned to tie a polymer knot. We walked away with eight fish and a total of 45 pounds of perfectly filleted fish which was a service he also included. We just cooked the fish a simple pan fry manner and it had wonderful flavor and texture, more steakier like swordfish. We cannot wait to make this an annual experience.

    Had a great time

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Brad was very easy going and was great with my daughter. He was giving us tips for when we try fishing again on our own and while we were fishing with him. The bite was a bit slow but he put all his effort into new baits and tactics to get us hooked up. We went 2 for 3. Thank you!
