Michigan Sport Fishing Company

If you are looking for a hands-on fishing experience in the mighty Lake Michigan, give Captain John Milbourne a try. His Lake Michigan Fishing Charters depart out of the Victorian port of Manistee to the world’s finest freshwater fishing destination.

Get in on the action and explore these beautiful waters. Hone your angling skills and grow as a fisherman. All breeds of anglers are welcome to join in the adventure!

Your boat for the day will be the ’Tuna Time,’ a spacious 32’ Tiara vessel. She is a real Salmon express with twin 350 HP Crusader engines. The Tuna Time prowls the lake during the season and takes her passengers to the finest fishing grounds in the area.

The Tuna Time is fully outfitted with top-notch navigational and fishfinding electronics to create a clear image of where the fish are hiding. She features an enclosed head, downriggers, and an icebox to keep the catch fresh during the day.

On your day out, you will concentrate on battling Chinook and Coho Salmon, along with Steelhead, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout. You will have everything you need to make a great catch possible, including Okuma fishing gear. Just pack your lunch and drinks and hop on board!
This is Manistee’s premier charter service.

I was born and raised in the great state of Michigan. I have traveled the world in search of adventure and sportfishing opportunities. I have well over 30 years of fishing experience in some shape or form. I have fished for Walleye in Minnesota, Pike in Canada, Sailfish in Jamaica, Seatrout in Florida, Yellowfin Tuna off Oahu, Sharks in Maine, Bluegills in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the last 18 years have been devoted to Great Lakes trolling for Salmon on Lake Michigan and Walleye on Lake Erie. I have been fishing ever since I can remember. I TAKE FISHING SERIOUSLY! With all that said, I love to fish and would love to help you catch the big one that didn't get away. We do it better at Michigan Sport Fishing Company!
