Can we keep the fish we catch?

Expand Yep. Fish are cleaned and packaged after the trip so they’re ready to take home. We have a cleaning facility right at our marina so bring a cooler and ice to transport your filets home. We take great care to produce you with quality filets so that when you sit down for dinner with your friends and family, you’ll want to come back again.

How many people can fish on the charter?

Expand We try to limit the number of people to 4, however, if you can be understanding of a tight fit, we can take 5 people. Trip prices listed are for four people. The additional 5th person is an additional $100.00. Just let Capt. Matt know when you are booking that you’ll have a 5th person in your party.

Are children welcome on your fishing trip?

Expand Of course! We love kids! Family-friendly trips are one of our specialties, and kids are always welcome aboard. If you are bringing really young/small children and you have a life jacket that fits them just right please bring it for them.

What should I bring on my fishing trip?

Expand Bring weather-appropriate clothing, food, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and a valid fishing license. We highly suggest you bring rain gear even if the weather forecast is sunny. Lake Michigan is known for its mood swings. Please do not bring bug spray on the boat, it causes damage to fishing line, rods, reels, and vinyl upholstery.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Expand Safety comes first. If weather conditions are unsafe, we will try to reschedule or we will refund your deposit. Captain Matt will make the call on weather conditions as far in advance as possible and will keep you updated. We do not cancel for rain. If there is lightening, we may postpone and let the storms pass until it is safe to get out on the water or we may have to reschedule/cancel.
