Can’t make them bite.

Big Water Salmon/Trout - 5:30 PM3 adults

We were out after a low pressure cold front came through last night. We know from experience that scenario can shut the fishing down. The fish had lock jaw. The rig was awesome, the equipment was great. The captain is very knowledgeable and experienced. We caught one decent trout. I’d go back out with captain with better weather.

Response from Captain

Thanks, it was a tough day. I did all I could to get those 4 trout bites. Thank you for your patience and recognizing my efforts.

    What a wonderful experience

    Big Water Salmon/Trout 3/4 Day • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Jordan is incredible. He was seriously focused on giving us the best chance for great fish, and we had action as soon as the first line hit the water. He kept us on big Lake Michigan salmon and moved us to lake trout when the bite slowed late in the morning. He was also a wonderful teacher and very patient with our 9 year old daughter and our 12 year old son. He made them both feel so comfortable and confident, and they landed 6 of our 9 fish. The highlights of our trip were my daughter’s 15lb lake trout and my son’s 20lb salmon. My wife and I will cherish these memories with our kids forever, thanks to Captain Jordan.

    Your family killed it. I really enjoyed having you out and everyone did a great job on the rod and reels. Thank you!

    Master at his craft

    Big Water Salmon/Trout • 3 adults

    Getting to witness someone so honed in on their craft is an art in itself. Jordan was an exceptional guide and an experience to be around. From start to finish it was easy going he smoothly got us in the water and out with the lines dropped, to getting the fish cleaned and bagged. As a lifetime local, Jordan gave some great insights about the town and eateries. Thank you for a great experience and unforgettable memories.

    An absolutely fabulous experience!

    Big Water Salmon/Trout • 2 adults

    What an incredible time my son and I had on this charter! Our fabulous captain knew where to find the fish and we caught some great ones - starting right away with an enormous king salmon and ending with several great sized lake trout! Our captain was also happy to answer all of my questions and was a pleasure to be with. My son is an avid fisherman and was over the moon with the entire experience. Definitely recommend this charter and will definitely be doing it again. It was the highlight of our time in Traverse City!

    Fish on!

    Big Water Salmon/Trout - 5:30 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Jordan took us out on 6/17 in the morning and in a short period of time we were on the fish. The weather was beautiful and we brought in some really great sized lake trout and salmon. One of them was 14lbs! Captain Jordan did a great job explaining everything to the boys and helped them land some great fish. The boat was clean and he had top notch equipment. He quickly changed up lures as the day went on. We appreciate all the communication and flexibility in order for us to have the best possible experience, hard to beat this one!

    Thank you Brett and crew. It was great having you out and getting a bunch of quality fish today. It was awesome seeing a 12 year old catch his first fish ever and at 14lbs was fun to watch the excitement.

    Family fishing trip

    Inland Lake – Troll, Jig, Cast - 4:30 PM • 4 adults • 1 child

    This fishing trip was our son's 8th grade graduation gift. Captain Jordan was excellent. From the beginning, he was very responsive and quick to answer messages. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to share his fishing expertise. His communication was fantastic and he made sure we felt prepared and well informed before our trip. He is dedicated in providing a great experience for his guests. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and reliable fishing captain.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Jessica. It was a pleasure having your family out with me on the big lake.
