I fished with Jim and first mate, Landan on a half day trip out of Elk Rapids targeting king salmon.  My goal was to hone my skills as a fisherman by learning tips and techniques from the experts who do this every day.  The boat and equipment are top notch, and I was impressed with their knowledge of the Grand Traverse Bay fishery as well.  Overall, a great trip, in a great boat with a couple of great guys / fisherman. I learned some things about the area, methods, gadgets, and OBTW we caught... Više

Ice fishing with Jim was a great experience. We fished Bear Lake for perch and brown trout, and caught somewhere around 15 fish, with some large enough to bring home. The guides were friendly, attentive and very helpful. I am not a avid fishermen, so they taught me how to use the equipment, and some tricks to catch fish. I can probably set up a tip-up on my own now. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Jim and Landon were awesome with the kids and got us on the fish! 

Captain Jim and Landon know what8 thier doing! The trip was such a great experience! We caught mostly Lake Trout and 1 beautiful Atlantic Salmon. We will definitely be booking another trip!

My friend and I had booked this ice fishing trip with Jim and Landon. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and success. They taught us the necessary skills swiftly and offered assistance in reeling in as many fish as possible. By the end of the day, we had successfully caught twelve ciscos!
