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.

Captain Robert guided us to the salmon! We caught the most fish compared to any other charter at the marina. He's very personable and an excellent fisherman! We will definitely return!
