Captain Ryan was amazing! He’s very knowledgeable and led us right to some big browns! I would totally recommend Hot pursuit Salmon and Trout Charters! This trip is good for all ages and for anyone who wants to catch a lot of fish! A group of four of us went out on his smaller boat because it was in late March and we could fish a little closer to shore where he knew Browns were going to be. He also has a larger boat that he takes groups out in later spring and summer. We hope to go back this summer and catch some kings, steelheads and cohos.  Thank you Captain Ryan for giving my Father, myself, my son and his friend a really great experience.

Ryan and Brendan were both very professional and helpful! Brendan was obviously very experienced, well beyond his years. Ryan recognized the bite slowed due to high weekend fishing pressure and moved us to deeper water and ended the trip with a flurry of action! We had a great time and will definitely be back! Thanks Ryan and Brendan!

Went out for the afternoon trip on Aug 14th. It was a perfect day. Our captain Ryan had great communication throughout the whole process. He got our group of 5 all loaded up and took us out where he thought we could get some troudt. He was very aware of what water temperature should be and where they would be biting. We did pull in 3 smaller King Salmon. Was very good at keeping a lot of lines in and watching them and making changes as needed. He decided to take us in closer to try and catch some larger ones. Continued to make necessary changes in depths, and after a little while, they started biting. He did a great job telling us exactly what to do to not lose it and “we listened”
We ended up catching 5 very nice King Salmon and 1 nice Coho Salmon. Total 9 for the day. Captain Ryan did not give up and made sure we got some fish. We all had a great time. Thank you for a awesome experience. We couldnt be more pleased. We will definitely be doing this again with Ryan.

My 2 sons (12 &14) and I took an 6 hr evening charter with Captain Ryan on 8/11/25. We left port near 3PM and got out to a fishing spot and within 15 mins of fishing, we pulled in a large lake trout. The crew was experienced, professional, and worked hard to find and keep us on the fish.  We ended up landing 9 king salmon and one lake trout, we released one smaller king (we lost 3-4 fish). We had a blast and learned a bit about fishing for bigger fish. At one point we had two fish hooked at the same time, and my sons had a blast pulling them in. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way,  Thanks Captain Ryan! We will be back for more.

We had a great evening out on Lake Michigan With captain Ryan and his first mate Shawn.  Everything went smoothly. They took us out to our spot, they put out several different setups and we were fishing.  Things were steady fishing and we caught some nice fish thanks to the knowledge and equipment Ryan had on his boat. They set up for different species so your chances are good to catch a variety of fish. The boat was very clean, and set up nicely. We fished for our entire time even through the little rain we got.  They did a great job of getting our fish cleaned up at the end of the night. Would Definitely recommend Ryan With Hot Pursuit Charters!
