A Great Day on the Water with Feed n Time Charters! My family and I had an awesome experience with Feed n Time Charters! While the weather didn’t exactly cooperate, and we had a later start than expected, Captain Ryan and the crew went above and beyond to ensure we still had a fantastic time. Though the fish weren’t biting as much as they would have earlier in the day, we were still able to reel in a few catches and enjoy the beautiful day on the water. A special shoutout to the other crew member (I’m so sorry, I can’t remember his name!) who was just as dedicated and helpful as Captain Ryan. Their professionalism and positive attitude made all the difference, turning what could have been a frustrating trip into a fun and memorable experience. We’re already looking forward to booking with them again next year and hopefully getting out there at the perfect time to really reel in some big ones!

We had an amazing time with Captain Justin! He was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to get along with, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared valuable insights about the best seasons to fish and which species to target. Although we didn’t catch anything this time, the experience was still a lot of fun!

🤩Incredible time w "In The Box Fishing Charters!!" 🛥⚓️🛟Captain Jerrod & Captain Lilly were a fantastic Husband & Wife duo. 🎣Was able to catch a bunch of 7-8 lbs fish with my family. They took us out on 🌅 Lake Michigan, as they explained all the fishing gadgets they had on the boat and how to operate them. Afterward, they even cleaned & 🔪🐟 cut the fish (which was such a bonus)! We exchanged fishing 📖 stories & created some perfect fishing 👌🏾😏💭 memories! Definitely recommend "In The Box Fishing Charters" as you will not be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Captains Bob and Kevin provided clear instructions and guided us straight to the best fishing spots. They were incredibly helpful and hands-on, especially with our family of beginners, including our 8-year-old son.
