Great time fishing

Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

Captain Dave and his First Mate were great. We brought each fish in except one and ended up 8 for 10. We had an awesome time.

    Great fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    J ust wanted to say thank you for a great trip on the Happy Hooker this past Sunday morning! I really appreciated the attention Jake gave me as first mate, and Ryan did an exceptional job navigating the choppy seas. It was also a pleasure meeting John, a great gentleman. I brought home 2 coho salmon and a brown trout, froze them, and cooked some of them up last night for dinner - they were great! Thanks again to you guys for a great time. PS - my banana was my lucky charm

    Nice haul of rainbow trout

    Evening Mini Charter • 3 adults • 2 children

    Dad and twin 13-year-old boys took the Gilligan tour (three hours) and went four-for-four, landing four beautiful rainbow trout, about 8-10 pounds on average. Captain Mitch and First Mate Tom were very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Fish cleaned, filleted and frozen at The Wharf where we’ll pick it up for the trip home. The evening clientele at Parker John’s were in awe as we hauled our catch off the Sea Dog 2! Highly recommend.

    My best Lake Michigan fishing trip ever.

    Half Day Trip (Midday) • 4 adults

    We caught 15 rainbows, one coho and one king. 10am 3pm fish time. Captain Mitch put us on the fish within the first hour and it was action packed for the rest of the day. First Mate Jake was working netting all the fish and setting us up for the next one. Great fishing and lots of fun with a great crew. thanks again to Captain Mitch and First Mate Jake !!!!
