captain plans to quit after season

Morning charter4 adults

the captain seemed to be more interested in not using fuel and stayed very near the manistee harbor channel even though the fishing was terrible and nothing was biting. he just kept saying the fish were there, but no other charter boats were staying in the area. when i booked one of the most expensive charters, I knew that fishing doesn’t guarantee catching, but I expected expected to do more that putter out to the mouth of yhe harbor. i could have fished from the jetty for free. the captain is super nice and friendly, but i don’t think he cares if he catches fish since he’s going out of business after the season.

Response from Captain

thanks for the reveiw shouldve been there the day before had our limit. not much i can do when they dont bite.

    Highly recommend! Josh and Mike were great! We limited out both days in an hour and half! Needless to say, we now have lots of salmon to bring home. Highly recommend!

    Pro Fish N Sea was a fantastic time!

    Morning charter • 6 adults

    Had a great time fishing with Captain Josh and First Mate Ben. They were professional, answered a lot of questions, and very accommodating. We got on the fish quick and it was none stop. They cleaned our fish and recommended a place to have it cooked . I fed a family outing of 16 people and still have 5 bags of fish to give to the family. Great experience, highly recommended

    First trip for my sons

    May salmon/trout Morning trip • 6 adults

    Took my 3 boys along with my father in law and step sons dad out. From start to finish the trip was amazing. The captain and boat hand were very knowledgeable and welcoming. They helped out every chance they could and did everything in their power to keep getting fish in the boat. The trip was worth the time and money. Can't wait for our next trip!
