Great Day on the Water - Thank You Josh & Jenn!

Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM3 adults

Had a great trip with Golden Hour Outdoors! My son and I hit our limit on Lake Trout, and Josh and Jenn made it a blast. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly know these waters well. We won't hesitate to call Golden Hour Outdoors if we're back in Traverse City. 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!

    Hard working Captain

    Half Day Trip - Grand Traverse Bays - 7:00 AM • 4 adults

    Perfect day, great weather... Fish were not biting, at first!!! Josh worked so hard, changing baits, switching lures!!! We went from no fish to, a full box before the trip we to end. Great boat, knowledgeable captain , just an overall good experience. You have a choice to make, make the right one.... Timothy S.

    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.

    Thanks Capt. Josh!

    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.
