SUPERTRAMP Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Try LIE A LOT CHARTERS IN LUDINGTON for an august trip. If you are looking for early season try Silver King Charters in St Joseph. Ken has been fishing that port since 1967 as a charter captain and he will give you a great trip. You can Google Ken Neidlinger and see some of the instructional videos he has put out.

SPOONWASHER Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Manistee in August is a blast. Killin Time is a great option, they know how to catch fish. Craig is a great guy and Matt can run a boat. Check out the website or the Facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line Dancin Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Try Jerry Lee on Sea Scerw. http://jerryleesportfishing.com/ I've known jerry for 35 years. He is a one of the greats. He is sometimes very difficult to get a charter with as people rebook from season to season with him. Can also try Rodmaster out of ludington. http://www.rodmasterfishing.com/index.htmlAlso try Rascal here on the site and Tangled Mess out of holland if Jerry is booked. Both good guys.http://www.reelrascalcharters.com/http://tangledmesscharters.com/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcweis1 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is a great forum. The info from all of you really helps. Others suggestions are better than goggling for charters. Will definetly pick from one of your suggestions. I know it is not too early to book. I will research each of the suggestions.Went walleye fishing last April up Erie and had a great time. Looking forward to salmon. I hear they are hard to bring in if you do not know how.Thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
