The Great Lakes of Michigan offer wild freshwater fishing at its finest. Explore the charter listings below and find a charter that suits the adventure you’re looking for, whether you’re after salmon that peel line or pan fish for the table.
Each listing gives you the essentials you need before heading out: Captain and business info, boat details built for real water, the species they’re dialed in on, and a map showing exactly where they cast off. These are working boats, run by hardworking anglers who live for early mornings, tight lines, and the kind of stories that can’t be told from shore. Scroll through the listings and pick the crew that feels like your kind of adventure.
