About Your Trip

Step aboard with Captain Dan for an unforgettable fishing adventure on Lake Michigan, where you’ll have the chance to reel in Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, and more! From May through October, these waters are teeming with trophy fish, and with a little luck, you’ll be landing some serious catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, Captain Dan and his crew are ready to give you a fantastic day on the water.

This trip is perfect for everyone—including families! Kids are more than welcome to join, and if you need a child-sized life vest, just let Captain Dan know in advance, and he’ll have one ready for you. Make sure to bring some snacks to keep the crew fueled—nobody wants to be fishing on an empty stomach!

You'll be fishing aboard a spacious and comfortable 36’ Tiara Open, designed to accommodate up to six passengers with ease. The boat is fully outfitted with GPS, radar, a fishfinder, and even a refrigerator to keep your drinks and snacks cool. There’s also air conditioning and a toilet on board for added convenience. The vessel is wheelchair accessible, making it easy for everyone to join in on the fun.

Captain Dan provides everything you need for a successful day on the water, including high-quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Once you reach the target depth, the crew will set lines and start trolling for Salmon and Trout. With both light and heavy tackle options, you'll have the best setup to take on the hard-fighting fish of Lake Michigan. To make sure the trip runs smoothly, there’s also an experienced First Mate on board who works hard to keep everything running like clockwork. A 15-20% tip for their effort is always appreciated.

Before heading out, be sure to grab a Michigan fishing license—you can easily find all the details online. Pack sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and plenty of bottled water to stay comfortable throughout the trip. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but leave the hard liquor and glass bottles at home.

At the end of the trip, Captain Dan and his crew will clean and fillet your catch, so you can take home fresh Salmon or Trout ready for the grill. Whether you're chasing a trophy King Salmon or just looking to enjoy a relaxing day on the water with family and friends, this Lake Michigan trip has everything you need for an incredible experience.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
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 show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. 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.
