Fish weren’t biting and we had a hard time getting our limit. But captain James pulled out the old play book and never gave up. He truly tried to the last minute and then some. We ending up going home with a full cooler!! Awesome guy, great conversation, very knowledgeable. Will definitely be seeing him again.

Captain Jim was the best! He was super friendly, knowledgeable about the lake and catching fish in it and made the trip memorable for us. We highly recommend fishing with Captain Jim and Long Gone 3 Charters.

We were on the 5 am excursion, and we were blessed with a beautiful day. Captain Jim called the water ” glassy bubbles”. One benefit of the early time is getting to see the sunrise on Lake Michigan! As soon as we dropped lines we were catching salmon! They stopped biting and we started catching lake trout. We were newbies to lake fishing, so we greatly appreciated the tips from Captain Jim and Dillon. Captain Jim is jovial, and it is fun to be on his boat. Dillon cleaned and filleted all of the fish for us. We received a message the night before our trip that the weather looked great with a picture of the place where we were going to meet.  I recommend they include information about what to bring such as water and breakfast snacks if you want them. Also, the boat has coolers, so you don’t need to bring your coolers on the boat. I would definitely recommend Captain Jim to friends and family!

Captain Jim and first mate Dillan were better than we could have imagined. The family had such a great time and they can’t stop talking about how much fun it was. We caught 15 fish and had a hard time carrying all the fillets. We are mounting one of the fish as well. We caught an 18lb Lake trout and hit our limits. Jim and Dillan made the whole experience so enjoyable. They were funny and made our kids feel very comfortable on their first trip. Thanks guys, we will be back again!
