About Your Trip
Join Captains Brian and Luke for a memorable day fishing the protected waters of East Grand Traverse Bay, one of Northern Michigan's premier fisheries for Salmon and Lake Trout. These half-day morning and afternoon trips are designed to maximize your fishing time, with productive water located just minutes from the dock.
Unlike many Great Lakes charters that require long runs to reach the fishing grounds, you'll typically begin fishing within minutes of departure. That means
more time with lines in the water and less time traveling, while also enjoying the calmer, more protected waters of East Bay.
Depending on the season, you'll target hard-fighting Chinook Salmon and Lake Trout using proven Great Lakes trolling and jigging techniques. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying salmon fishing for the first time, the crew will provide all the equipment and instruction needed to help you enjoy the day.
You'll fish aboard a comfortable Tiara sportfishing vessel designed specifically for Great Lakes fishing. The boat accommodates up to 6 guests and is equipped with premium electronics, fish-finding technology, radar, and a private enclosed restroom for added comfort. The crew works hard to create a fun, family-friendly atmosphere while putting anglers in the best position to catch fish.
All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included. At the end of the trip, the crew will clean, fillet, rinse, and bag your catch at no additional charge. If you'd like to bring fish home, simply bring a cooler for transport.
Whether you're visiting Traverse City for the first time or looking to experience one of Michigan's best freshwater fisheries, this trip offers a great opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy everything East Grand Traverse Bay has to offer.
