I had wanted to take my son fishing on Lake Michigan for years, so I finally booked a trip with Captain Chris aboard the High Life. It turned out to be an incredible day on the water. We landed 9 coho salmon, lost a few along the way, and brought home over 18 pounds of fish. Captain Chris and Billy worked hard throughout the trip, adjusting lures, positioning the boat, and sharing their knowledge to keep us on the fish. Their experience and dedication made all the difference. The highlight of the day was watching my son reel in his first Lake Michigan fish. That's a memory we'll both cherish for years to come. Thank you, Chris and Billy, for making the trip so special. My son is already planning a King Salmon trip this July, and there's no question we'll be booking with Captain Chris and the High Life again.

Fished a PM trip followed by one the next morning. The bite was tough due to extreme weather conditions days before but Captain Greg got us on fish and worked endlessly to keep us on them. His first mate Cathy handled lines and swapped out tackle with speed and great effort, timing and skill. Her instincts paid off leaving us with a full box of quality fish each trip. I have been on fifty or more Lake Michigan charters over the years and have never seen a crew like Captain Greg and First Mate Cathy work so smoothly together to fill our expectations and provide so much fun. Highly recommend them to everyone.
