After capturing memorable pictures, he will expertly clean and package your fish, ensuring you can take them home to enjoy.
Before setting sail, please ensure that each person aged 17 and older has obtained a valid Michigan fishing license. Don't forget to pack essential items such as sunscreen, sunglasses or a visor, a raincoat with pants, warm clothing, and coolers (one for packaged fish and one for beverages). Snacks, beverages, and ice are essential, and feel free to bring enough food to share with everyone. As long as you're of legal age, you're welcome to bring alcoholic beverages on board.

One of the best experiences I’ve gotten to share with my family. You guys were amazing to take us out in the down pouring rain. Even with the weather conditions, you guys were so accommodating and offer the best experience that we literally cannot stop talking about. Thank you for everything.

Two years in a row. The captain put us on a good amount of fish. Some of the fish have been huge, bordering on master angler. I highly recommend this charter service!

We went out in the afternoons and caught our limit. Captain Greg and first mate Chris are two awesome people. Very inviting, great to talk to and always willing to show us new things or explain what they are doing. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in booking a fishing charter. This was our first time on a charter boat of any kind and it was a blast. All thanks toCaptain Greg and Chris.

For two years running we've used Dog Bone Sport Fishing Charters and have had nothing but success. Greg is truly a master at his craft. He and his team have been nothing more than a pleasure to fish with. We are already planning for our trip back up to Manistee next year and you bet we will be returning customers!
