Recently went out with Isaac on the Muskegon River and wanted to take the time to highlight my experience. First impression, showed up 10 minutes early to designated spot and time of 6 am and boat was already in the water ready to roll. No waiting for a guide or the impression your on his time. Boat is massive, clean, orderly and extremely comfortable to fish from especially for float fishing that requires some real estate. As far as the fishing experience, it was a tough day on the water. That day was the tail end of post flood recovery of the river system. We had bites, small hookups but nothing spectacular. Being an experienced fisherman and understanding conditions, this happens. I highlight this specifically because I feel how a guide handles these situations in the face of adversity is equally as important as hauling in fish for customer experience. When I say Isaac and myself threw everything we had at it, I absolutely mean it. He really took the time and energy to spot hop, and tie up new bead combos constantly. Genuine care was displayed to get on them, and even without ask or mention extended the trip 2 hours to try and accommodate best he could. Highly appreciated and despite less than ideal fishing, had an amazing time being out on the water. These were my lasting impressions. Isaac is knowledgeable of the river, a hard working individual and cares highly for his customers experience. Felt comfortable in the boat, had great conversation and did manage to get into a few trout. Overall was a great experience. Would absolutely recommend Reeld n Outdoors Guide Service to any new or experienced fishermen. Looking forward to future trips.

Whether you're an expereinced angler looking to get on a good bite, or a newer angler looking to expand your skills and knowledge, St Joe Angler is the way to go. Jon has guided me on numerous occasions, teaching myself and my son how to fly fish, and getting us on fish time and time again. His knowledge of Michigan waterways is up there with the best of them, book your next trip with Jon, you will not be dissapointed!

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.
