Lake Michigan's waves had other plans for us yesterday, so we switched to Plan B and made the most of it! 🎣

The crew headed inland and put together a fun mixed bag of fish. We landed some beautiful perch, smallmouth bass, a giant 27.5" sheepshead, and even a chunky 12.5" rock bass that definitely turned some heads!

A big thank you to Alex, Jessica, and Dan for rolling with the change of plans and making it a great day on the water. Sometimes the best adventures happen when you have to improvise!

Looking to get out on the water this season? We still have openings available—give us a call and let's make some memories!

📸 Weekend Photo Dump! 🎣

What a great weekend on the water! We had the chance to fish with a lot of good friends, make some memories, and put some fish in the boat along the way.

A big thank you to the Todd family for coming out and spending part of your weekend with us! Also, a special thank you to Mr. Brian for letting us jump on his boat for a change. It definitely felt a little different being the ones fishing instead of running the trip! 😂

The bite is on, and there are still openings available to get in on some of this great action. Give us a call and let's get your trip on the calendar!

Even better — Adam landed his very first trout today! Always awesome being part of someone’s first fish memory. Congratulations again, Adam!

Huge thank you to both of these guys for coming out, and a special thank you to Adam for his service. We truly appreciate it! 🇺🇸
