Half Day Trip with Captain Jim

Torch & Elk Lake Trip - Spring4 adults

This was a trip that dreams are made of. We limited out in 3 hours with 48 Cisco (Whitefish). It was a fantastic experience that we all enjoyed to the max. Jim's pontoon boat made a great platform to fish from we had plenty of comfort room. We also enjoyed Captain Jim's fishing and football knowledge. It was our pleasure to fish with Captain Jim and we look forward to future trips!

    Success!

    Torch & Elk Lake Trip - Summer - 12:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great day with Jim and Landon! They were so patient and kind with my 10 year old who was eager but timid! Also.. caught lots of fish! They cut some and suggested we take it right to Apache Trout Grill in Traverse who prepared it for us!

    Jim took my son and two friends on an afternoon trip and they had a great day. They caught fish, which was great, but they enjoyed themselves and Jim and said they would have had a great time even if they didnt catch fish!

    Jim and Landon are great, very enjoyable to be with out on the bay. We had a blast and got some nice fish for the barbecue. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't have a good time, these guys really know what they are doing.

    excellent outcome. big fish

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much for the kind review! We really appreciate you choosing Fish With Jim Outfitters. The Canadian wildfire smoke definitely made for some challenging conditions, but I’m glad we were still able to put together a successful day on the water and land some big fish. Fishing isn’t always about perfect conditions—it’s about adapting to what Mother Nature gives us, and I’m happy we could make the most of your trip. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and I hope to fish with you again under clearer skies next time. Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to leave a review
