The guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We had a great time!

Heading into this fishing charter, we had no idea what to expect. We were completely new to fishing, especially in the middle of Lake Michigan. Captain Jody and his first mate Luke were exceptional, providing knowledge and guidance throughout the entire 6 hours. We had a lot of fun during downtime, especially when reeling in some fish. Their equipment and boat were phenomenal, and we never had any worries or problems. If you're looking for a top-notch charter, these guys are the ones to go with.

We had a fantastic time! Jody and Luke were amazing, friendly, and patient, answering all of our questions for 6 hours and teaching us the ropes of salmon fishing :) Their boat is well-stocked and equipped, and they spent the entire time diligently searching for more fish. Our arms are still sore from hauling in all those giant king salmon. Thanks, guys!

We had an incredible day at Saginaw Bay with Captain Jody. Despite it being considered a slow day, my son and I caught plenty of Walleye. Captain Jody's extensive knowledge and strong connections with other local charters really enhanced the experience. I highly recommend both the captain and his boat!

I don't get to fish as often as I'd like, so when I do, I want to catch fish, have fun, and be on a great boat. I found all that and more here – best trip ever! I highly recommend taking a trip with Captain Jody and his mate at Chunky Monkey Charters. You won't regret it!
