Houghton Lake, MI

A beautiful morning

A beautiful morning

Houghton Lake, as the largest inland lake in Michigan at 22000 acres, is a multi-species mecca. It's a fish factory.  I specifically target walleyes on Houghton, but we catch big crappies and gills, smallmouth and largemouth bass, and northern pike right in with the walleyes. 

4 hours: $400 for 2 ($50 for each additional)

6 hours: $500 for 2 ($50 for each additional)

8 hours: $600 for 2 ($50 for each additional)

If you don't catch fish, you don't pay! That's our promise to you!  We work extremely hard to ensure that you have a memorable experience.  We cater to all ages and experience levels!  All you need to bring on the trip is a valid Michigan fishing license and a good attitude!

Lake Leelanau, MI

Fall on Lake Leelanau offers fantastic fishing!

Fall on Lake Leelanau offers fantastic fishing!

Lake Leelanau might be one of the best inland walleye lakes in the state of Michigan.  Not only does it have a tremendous population of walleyes, the perch, smallmouth, and northern pike fishing has been unbelievable.  May can be a tremendous month, but the best fishing of the year has been from August through ice up.

Your Silver Bay/Adirondack vacation isn't complete until you get a chance to sample some of Lake George's best smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing!  My 3 hour trip is designed to target these fish with as little interruption to the plans your family has while you're on vacation!  New since 2017:  Split a trip - jig for lake trout and fish smallies - all in one!  Nothing like hooking a laker on a plastic or a spoon!  Unlike lots of other charters, you actually get to fish with a rod and reel in your hand for the entire trip.  You'll hone your skills with artificial baits and have a blast doing it! 

Morning Trip (3 hours):  $400 for up to 3 people ($50 for each additional person) Can accommodate up to 5.

Evening Trip (3 hours):  $400 for up to 3 people ($50 for each additional person) Can accommodate up to 5.

Additional hours can be added for $100 an hour.

Full Day trips available upon request!  I can accommodate larger parties with some creative scheduling as well!

Our promise to you: If you don't catch fish, you don't pay!
