Reel Life Great Lakes Sportfishing 

Earl Riske, captain of the Integrity, is a skilled pilot, crafty fisherman, and tireless first mate. Our morning trip started in near total darkness as we headed out of port into some choppy warter. In the first hour the fishing fleet surrounded us, and the bite was on with 3 Chinook in the boat. When the bite slowed down, Earl never stopped moving and used many lures at different depths that brought us six more salmon. When the rest of the fishing fleet went home, Earl was a crafty Houdini who enticed lfish 320 feet down to come up from the bottom and take our lures adding 3 more salmon in the boat. Regretably, one fish bent the hook and got away. In port, Earl fileted the fish, and packed them in 1 gallon freezer bags we provided. We had breakfast at Diner 31 while Earl fiinished the job. He brought our fish to the restaurant and it was a perfect end to a great day. In a crazy world you can find the Integrity and captain Earl Riske for an adventure you won't forget!

Couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate a buddy’s bachelor party. Great fishing, cold drinks, plenty of laughs, and a hell of a day on the water. Captain Earl knows his stuff and kept us on the fish from start to finish. If you want to get on some big kings and have a damn good time doing it, book with Captain Earl. We’ll definitely be back!

amazing experience would recommend this trip to anyone. A great captain with great equipment and knowledge of what the fish are doing on a daily basis. If you want a great affordable and personable experience be prepared to have your arms wore out. My wife and i had a great time and we will be coming back in the future.

Captain put us on fish quickly. Caught several king salmon.

Captain Earl was awesome! Easy to talk to about everything happening. He explained how the fish were staging and why. For a first time angler for a salmon charter, let alone a family outing, we all had an amazing time. Captain Earls boat is large enough for 6 full grown people and he has the rods and equipment to accommodate. We spent a lot of time talking about anything and everything. We’ll be scheduling another trip with him soon.

Capt Earl knows his fishing. We limited out w 5 nice Salmon each . We were supposed to go at 4 pm, but Capt Earl suggested going early..we went 4:30 am...he was right!! Our Arms got sore from hauling in the fish..a good sore!! We will Definitely go w Capt Earl again!

Capt Earl was a fantastic steward to the Manistee Fishing community on giving our family a positive fishing experience, even in tough fishing conditions. We had an exciting, enjoyable trip and would recommend him to anyone, new to the sport, or experienced.
