Captain Scott really showed us what he was made when he found the fish quick and figured out what tackle to use to catch them. This is the third opportunity I have had to fish with Captain Scott and I have never left disappointed. Did we limit out? No, but that is not what it is all about. I was able to bring 5 friends out for the day that hadn’t been fishing before. They all had a ton of fun! Each of us caught at least one large King Salmon. They also had fun watching me get sea sick, but Captain Scott was there to help as well. His ability to teach while you catch is a great thing. I remember the first time I ever fished with Scott and I didn’t know a thing. This trip I was able to identify the bite and set the hook without loosing the fish.

Good to Great fishing in Muskegon- Lake Michigan

Over the past week fishing has picked up quite a bit. Allot of 12-16 pound Kings have been caught, and some real nice fish nudging up to 20 pounds have been harvested as well. Sunday alone we landed over 30 fish on the 2 charters. Speaking of Sunday night, this trip was a family outing for the Bahl family from Midland. They were celebrating their son’s 10th birthday, celebrate he did! He landed a nice King, a really fat Brown trout, a 9 pound Steelhead and a tasty 7 pound Coho salmon! Not to mention reeling in several more Kings as well. We switched gears trying to get a Laker to complete the Great Lakes slam of all 5 species, but we did not get that lucky…..The fishing is good, there are several weekday trips in early August still available.

Short of a full-scale robotic production line, I have never seen a human being approach the efficiency and continuity of work as Scott exhibited working his fishing operation. In less than optimal conditions he optimized our experience while remaining entertaining and composed.
