We had an incredible 5-hour fishing trip on Lake Michigan with Captain Daryl and First Mate Matt. From the moment we got on board, they made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Their knowledge of the lake and attention to detail were clear, and it showed in the results—we caught an amazing number of fish and had a blast doing it. What really stood out was how patient and supportive they were with my parents, who don’t speak much English. Daryl kept us right on the fish with... Altro

This was my second time fishing with Captain Daryl and his crew. I brought my friends with me who have never experienced charter fishing at Lake Michigan. Captain Daryl not only caught us fish, but also had us catch only Salmon which is what we wanted to target the whole trip. I will definitely be a returning customer from now on.

I have been fishing for over 45 years, and chartered over 100 trips and this was the best trip I ever had. The captain and his mate were so friendly, it was like going fishing with old friends. I recommend them for families. They made my son and wife feel like they were part of the team. Thank you for a great day!

My family and I had a great time. Captain Daryl and first mate Parker made us feel welcome and they sure know how to find the fish. We limited out on lake trout in 3 hours. Quite exciting for everyone. We can’t wait to do it again.

From great communication before the trip to an amazing day on the water, Captain Daryl and mate Parker were the best. They never stop working to put you on the fish - and all with a smile. Will be going back out with the Merganzer team soon.
