Whitecap Charters – Charlevoix 

You can’t go wrong with Whitecap Charters. The captain will not only guide you through the basics before you make your first cast – he will make sure your rods are busy throughout the adventure.

The captain opens the season in May and takes his clients out until late October. The spring and summer months are all about light tackle fishing, while heavy tackle is the main technique for September and October.

You will be equipped with top-notch gear by Shimano, Okuma, and Ugly Stik to catch anything from Chinook and Coho Salmon to Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Perch, and Steelhead.

The ‘Whitecap II’ will be your boat for the day. She is a 27’ American International cuddy cabin which comes powered by twin 225 HP Yamaha engines. The Whitecap II has enough space for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style. She is a trailerable boat, which allows the captain to fish from several ports, such as Manistee, Ludington, Traverse City, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, and Frankfort.

The Whitecap II has everything you need to make a great catch possible. All gear and tackle will be provided for the trip, along with bait and a complimentary fish cleaning service at the end of the trip.

Whitecap Charters also offers catering service – if you are too busy, the captain will gladly pick up lunch and drinks for you for an extra fee.
