About Your Trip

If you're looking to make the most of your time fishing in Pentwater, Captain Sean and his crew are your ticket to a serious day on the water. With years of experience, a fully outfitted vessel, and a proven track record on the tournament scene, this team brings passion, skill, and local know-how to every trip.

They’re not just weekend anglers—this crew is tournament proven. They’re the 2025 LOC Ladies Pro Champs, placed 7th in the 2024 Ludington 333 (out of 85+ boats), and took 1st in the 2023 Pentwater Charter Boat Challenge. Their tournament history also includes a 3rd-place finish and Big King win at the 2022 Manistee Monster Tournament, plus a rare 70+ lb box in the 333 circuit—a feat accomplished by only one boat in 20 years. Even their very first pro tournament in 2021 ended with a 6th-place finish in Frankfort. Safe to say—you’re in good hands.

You’ll be trolling the rich waters of Lake Michigan for Chinook and Coho Salmon, Steelhead (Rainbow Trout), and Brown Trout. In 2023, the crew landed three Master Angler Steelhead in just one month—testament to both the quality of the fishery and the experience of the crew.

Your day will be spent aboard a 33’ Cruiser, built for comfort and serious fishing. It has room for up to 6 guests and comes equipped with downriggers, radar, GPS, a fishfinder, refrigerator, and an enclosed head (toilet) for your convenience.

Trips include all the rods, reels, tackle, and lures you’ll need, and all edible fish are cleaned and filleted at the marina fish station at no extra charge. First Mate Dan is a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain himself, meaning you’ll have two seasoned captains working to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is appreciated for the crew's effort.

Kids are welcome, and if you don’t have a child-sized life vest, just ask ahead of time. You’re also encouraged to bring snacks and drinks to stay fueled—alcohol is allowed in moderation (no hard liquor or glass bottles, please). Be sure to pack non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and plenty of water.

You’ll be trolling for:

Chinook Salmon

Coho Salmon

Steelhead (Rainbow Trout)

Brown Trout

Trip Schedule:

Morning trips run 6 hours, departing around 4:30 AM.

Evening trips run 5 hours, typically departing around 5:15 PM depending on the bite.

All trips run pierhead to pierhead.

Anglers 17 and older will need a Michigan All-Species Fishing License, which can be purchased online or locally before your trip.

Whether you’re chasing a trophy, stocking up for the grill, or just looking to spend quality time on the lake, Captain Sean and his crew are ready to deliver a trip you won’t forget.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
