It was truly an incredible experience. Captain Chris Baird excels at keeping you engaged throughout the charter. He has a remarkable ability to explain things clearly and is an exceptional angler. What started as hiring Captain Chris as a charter has now evolved into a genuine friendship. We look forward to embarking on another adventure with Captain Chris and Flagship Fishing Charters. Thank you, Captain Chris, for providing us with a fantastic day on Lake Michigan.

Our trolling adventure with Captain Chris exceeded all expectations. My two college-aged sons and I traveled from New Jersey to explore the Lake Michigan region, admittedly with no prior experience in this fishing style. We embarked before dawn, witnessing a stunning sunrise, and managed to reel in an impressive catch of 11 salmon and trout. Chris proved to be an exceptional guide, possessing a wealth of knowledge and demonstrating remarkable patience, enthusiasm, precision, and a relentless dedication to optimizing our chances of success. He expertly managed his lines, bait, and location, showcasing mastery of both technique and technology. Additionally, Chris went above and beyond by meticulously cleaning and filleting our fish while offering valuable advice on how to transport them safely for our journey back home. To Captain Chris, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for creating an unforgettable experience for my sons and me.

Just went fishing with Captain Chris and had a lifetime adventure that we’ll remember forever. We were able to celebrate the achievements of several loyal coworkers through an amazing catch of king salmon, lake trout, and coho salmon. We had never been fishing on a charter out of St. Joseph or Benton Harbor but we will definitely be back!! It paid off to be at the dock early and on time! We caught the king salmon on our first bite just after sunrise at 5:30am!

Late afternoon fishing typically has a reputation for being sluggish, but I can genuinely say that Captain Chris possesses an uncanny ability to spot fish, as if he has eyes in the back of his head. Without fail, he never misses a fish on the line! Our group of five managed to reach our limit in just four hours, hauling in a total of 16 fish, weighing over 150 pounds. We're definitely planning to book another trip because we had an incredibly enjoyable time!

My 11-year-old son and I have been fishing together on numerous occasions, and unfortunately, we've had a few outings where we came back empty-handed (zero fish). Feeling determined to change our luck, I decided to book a charter with Captain Chris and first mate Tyson. To my delight, they exceeded my expectations. Even though we arrived late for our trip, Captain Chris and Tyson managed to help us reach our fishing limit in under 3 hours! I was thoroughly impressed by their expertise and professionalism. These are genuinely friendly individuals, and I wholeheartedly give them two thumbs up. We're definitely planning to go fishing with them again, and I highly recommend their services to others.

Captain Chris and his mate, Tyson, were consistently exceptional throughout the entire excursion. They worked tirelessly on a scorching 90-degree day to secure our catch, and they delivered outstanding results. We successfully reeled in Lake trout, Steelhead, and Coho salmon, filling our box to the limit. I strongly recommend reaching out to them if you're considering chartering a fishing trip. They are not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and courteous.
