We had an awesome time on our trip, got really in tune with nature didn’t have any luck as it was still early in the run but Brad really knew what he was doing. He knew all the spots to hit, he really knew the lay of the land. He provided us with very good well maintained equipment. I plan on hitting the river with him again in the next few weeks. We saw 7 bald eagles 3 Osprey 2 hawks and a great horned owl. The salmon were there we saw them jumping just didn’t get Lucky. If your planning a trip like this I highly recommend Manistee River Fishing charter company Brad is very good at what he does, we met his other boat captain as well and you could tell he was very knowledgeable as well. Either way your in good hands with these guys!!!
