Overall I had a really fun time and enjoyed the experience out on the water. The crew was friendly, the ride was relaxing, and it was a good atmosphere for first-timers. My only disappointment was not catching any fish, especially after spending around $300. I understand fishing can be unpredictable, but I was hoping for a little more action or guidance to help improve the chances of catching something. Still, I appreciate the experience and memories from the trip.

we brought our 2, 5 & 6 year old boys out for their first big fishing trip. The 2 hour trip was a perfect taste at being on the big water! Captain and his mate were very patient with them as they explored the entire boat and asked mag questions, we look forward to our next trip later this season!

This fishing charter was a great experience! I had no previous fishing experience and the Captain made everything easy and fun. The thrill of catching a salmon is incredible. Since we were from out of town, we went more for the experience than the fish itself but the Captain gave us the great idea to bring our fish over to the Paisley Grille where they would cook it for us. Excellent recommendation! The restaurant was wonderful and it was truly an awesome experience to eat the fish we literally caught that day, tasting so delicious. All together, the day was so much fun. Very glad we did this and this fishing charter and Captain Jordan helped make it such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!!

    I looked at several charters all over Michigan trying to find one that worked for us, and ended up going with this FishGH 3 hour offshore trip at 5:30pm. It was a surprise for our Boys, Westen (8) and Kensten (6), who love to fish back home in Southern Indiana. I’m glad we only did a 3 hour trip, because our 6 year old was feeling pretty sea sick, but he was a trooper.
    Fishing started off a little slow, but about an hour into it, we started catching stuff. We ended up with 4 Chinook/King Salmon and 1 Coho Salmon. Westen’s biggest was 18 lbs which was tied for the biggest fish our captain (Jordan) has had anyone catch this year so far. It was also the biggest king salmon our first mate/deck hand (Rex) had ever seen! That fish sure put up a good fight, it kept taking more line out (it was over 400 feet out!) so it took him quite awhile to get it reeled in! Kensten’s biggest was a 15 pounder. They filleted them for us right away and we brought home 24.5 pounds of meat! It was a great experience for us!

Having been on several fishing charters on Lake Michigan, I can honestly say, being on the Kingpin with Captain Astro and first mate, Parker, was an excellent choice! The fish were slow, but that crew definitely worked for us.

It was my son’s first time out salmon fishing. The waves were a bit rough, and my son, well, he received the full “effect.” However, he stayed a Trooper and kept with it.

After booking, i learned that i needed to change the date by one day. Kingpin, within hours responded and with no hassle, and graciously accepted my new requested date at no charge.

Definitely a five star outfit! I would absolutely recommend the Kingpin with Captain Astro and First Mate Parker!
