Great Day on the River!

6 Hour morning trip - 2 people2 adults

Decided to book a trip with Capt. James as I was taking a friend of mine from New Hampshire who had never salmon fished and had limited fishing experience. Capt. James did a great job explaining techniques and put us on fish. Planning a future trip!

Response from Captain

Looking forward to future trips with you guys. Thanks again.

    great boat great equipment

    4hr AM/ trips for 2 anglers • 3 adults

    James was a great Captain, he worked very hard to get us fish, but it seemed today nobody was catching many fish, he even gave us extra time to try to get us some fish, he had what was probably the best boat on the water, and all of his equipment was top-notch. It was a beutiful day on the river. However, it was very disapointing to not catch anything, just not a good day for fishing.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Mark. i wnjoyed spending the day with you and the boys. I hope to fish with you again soon and hopefully we can turn it around next time. Thanks again.

    Great day on the big Manistee.

    6 Hr afternoon trip - 2 people • 2 adults

    We had a great time with capt James on the big Manistee. He had several types of lures and bait to catch the attention of the fish of a thousand casts. He was personable, considerate, easy to ask questions, and very informative on what we were doing and why. It was a great experience for me as an experienced fisherman, and my wife as a novice.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you both so much for the opportunity and i hope to see you both again soon.

    Great Trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Weekend • 2 adults

    Capt. James was very ambitous to get me and my son onto some fish. He knew where the fish was and there was plenty. The fish were very picky on this day but we caught some small brown trout and had 4 steelhead on the lines. We were able to reel in one of them in the boat. We were the only ones in the vicinity to get fish on the line this day. James was very informative and educational on how to fish for Steelhead. We will booking another trip with him again. Thx Capt. James for the great time!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Tom for the opportunity to get you a your son onto some steelhead and some small browns for your guys first time. It was my pleasure and can’t wait till we all can fish together again. Thanks again.
