Top Notch Sportfishing Charters 

Cody and Kaden did an amazing job. Our group had a blast and will definitely be back! In the first hour out we had 4 already in the boat and had 3 on at the same time at one point. Thank you again Top Notch, you guys definitely live up to the name.

Fantastic day of fishing. The crew was excellent at putting us on some large fish. It did get a little crazy at one point having 7 lines hocking up at once. All I can really say is it was a great experience and we would defiantly hire Top Notch in the future.

It was our first experience, Captain Darren and Cody were really nice and professional! Everything was clean and in perfect conditions! We booked for 5 hours and catched 9 fish! we would definitely be back!!

Rough seas. and wildfire smoke, captain Darren and first mate Cody worked hard to put us on some fish !! We had a great time and highly recommend Top Notch Sportfishing Charters.

Great afternoon trip, Great crew. Well-organized, clean boat. Cody is great with kids:)

This is our fourth year in a row and always a awesome experience.

Darren and Cody were great. Boat and fishing gear were clean and well organized. They made sure the our boys wore life jackets and safety was priority. They were also meticulous about the deck being clean before and after all catches. We had a mid-day trip and didn’t expect much action but each of our party reeled in a good catch. Of course it would have been great to have more on the line but they can’t completely control this. They did entertain our kids on the trip and educated us about the species and area. Looking forward to grilling and smoking our catch. We would book again!

Our group (3 adults and 1 child) had a good time on the boat. We were able to leave slightly earlier due to an impending storm and the crew was ready to go. The first hour+ we caught nothing, BUT they were definitely trying! Cody even let my son help him on deck reel in so they could rebait or put away, my son loved it! When they were putting things away, we caught one!! My son (with Cody’s help) reeled in a whopper of an 11.5lb King Salmon!! It made his day!

Here's a rewritten version of your review: --- I had an incredible experience fishing with "Top Notch Fishing Charters" on Lake Michigan! It's always a good sign when you need to buy a bigger cooler afterward. From the start, Darren and Sammy were fantastic. Darren put our safety first, especially when the weather conditions made it unsafe for our originally planned trip. He made the tough call to postpone, but we were able to reschedule a couple of days later—and it was absolutely worth the wait! These guys really know their stuff! They had us reeling in so many fish that my family and I were busy the entire time. The boat was spotless and super comfortable, making it a perfect trip for the whole family. My son (14) and daughter (10) had an absolute blast. Darren and Sammy were amazing with the kids, making sure they were comfortable and enjoying themselves throughout the trip. This was truly a memorable experience for all of us! Can’t wait for our next trip with them! Highly recommend that you find a time to go out with these guys!

It was a little rough out there and we certainly thought we could handle it but ocean roughness and lake roughness are a lot different. Definitely recommend taking Dramamine ahead of time. We cut our trip short due to us and not them. The guys were awesome. They work hard. We definitely caught some good fish and would have caught more had we not went back early. Would definitely do it again and recommend them
