My parents were up in Michigan visiting for their vacation so we booked a mid-day trip with Captain Ben. The day before he called just to let us know that the mid-day fishing had been less than stellar lately and let us know he would refund the deposit if we wanted to cancel. We stuck it out and took my parents and my daughter on the boat. Ben was great, explained everything for us and we ended up with six at the end of the day. Beyond the great attempts to keep us on the fish he felt like part of the family by the end of the trip. We will definitely be booking with him again when I want to take family on an outing.

First , I never thought I would get my wife out on a charter again. We took one three year’s ago out of Wisconsin rough waters and my wife and Got sick. I was hoping that doing this on Traverse bay would be a lot different for them. It was. If your worried about motion sickness. Fish the bay. Ben was a great captain. I think we had poles in the water within ten minutes. We were lucky and had our first fish on within twenty minutes. Ben asked me what I wanted to fish for, Salmon are just starting to run but they aren’t hitting full steam yet. I just wanted the wife and kids to catch some fish. We started fishing for trout and ended up at the end going for salmon. We were one fish from limiting out. We could have gotten another trout but totally worth that last hour trying for the salmon. The trip was an absolute homerun and already figuring on another trip next year.

Captain Ben was patient, helpful and full of tips to help us land fish. We went 4 for 4 for the fish hits to landing in the boat and ended with a nice 15+ pound lake trout. It was a good trip, thank you Captain Ben, hope to see you for the salmon run in late August.
This character trip was worth the time & money. Ben was awesome and lead us to the fish. We made our limit of Trout and lucky to get a King Salmon. It was a perfect day of fishing. Highly recommend taking this character if you want to have some fun.
Such a fun experience! Trout were biting as fast as Captain Ben could keep up with helping us real them in! We had a great Captain, on a great boat, and perfect day! Pricing was better then several places I checked into and our overall experience was perfect! We all caught our limit and had a wonderful time! (Even though we didn’t see any sharks 😜) Thanks Captain Ben!
