Frank Renna5.0VerifiedMy two son in-laws as nd i had a great time on Far Out Fishings charter boat.
5 Hour Trip • 3 adultsThe first two hours was a no bite period. It could’ve been wrong lures, direction or depth. But the minute we turned to head back towards land the bite turned our direction. My sons and I were kept busy taking turns reeling in the bounty. In all we got twelve nice fish on board. Would book another charter with Captain James and son Tom the first chance I get. Tom was up to his elbows changing lures and helping land our bounty. The after docking Tom pulled out a big filet knife at the cleaning table and made quick work of the fish. On 8-8-26 I’m smoking a few trout and 3 families will be gathering for a feast, Of course THANKS to Captain James and son Tom.

5 Hour Trip – Weekend • 4 adultsWe headed out early for our fishing charter. Captain James was in contact with us the day before so we knew what to expect and answer any questions. We arrived on time and after a brief safety lesson and introductions, we were off! We spent 5 hours catching fish, chatting and enjoying the lake. We caught coho salmon, king salmon, lake trout and steelhead trout and all four of us had plenty of opportunities to reel in the catch. Captain James and our first mate were helpful and excited for us with each catch. At the end, they arranged the fish, took photos, cleaned and packaged all the fish for us. It was a great memory-making trip and we would definitely book with them again!

Response from CaptainSo glad to hear everyone had such a great time and had a blast reeling in all those fish. Hope those sore arms were worth it!
Aaron Herrera5.0VerifiedGreat Coho Salmon
5 Hour Trip - 4:00 PM • 6 adultsWe had a great time with Capt. James and Co-Capt. Tom. The boat and equipment were in great condition. We were a group of four adults and 14 and 15 year-old boys. The swells were 1 to 2 foot, which may be a problem for people with weak stomachs, but we were fine. We would have no hesitation booking again with far out fishing!
Response from CaptainAaron, a very big thank you to everyone for being such a great and understanding group. Despite the mechanical issues and early hang up time, we were glad to hammer out a handful of fish in under an hour. We appreciate your patience and look forward to having you back out on your discounted trip to finish filling that box!
David MullinsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip
5 Hour Trip - 4:00 PM • 2 adults • 1 childNice boat, exactly as advertised. Friendly captain and deckhand. Very knowledgeable. Took my 13 year-old daughter and they did great with a kiddo on the boat. We have chartered many times in different places and this was one of our best trips. Highly recommend.

Dawn Pigg5.0VerifiedAmazing experience
5 Hour Trip – Weekend • 5 adults • 1 childThis fishing excursion was nothing short of amazing for our family. Captain Jim and First Mate Tom were wonderful! We had such a great time and caught more fish than on any other charter we’ve been on before. Would highly recommend if you’re in the Lake Michigan area.
