Your Experience

Chinook Pier, fishing charter

Our goal for the trip is to make sure you have an enjoyable time on Lake Michigan while finding as many fish as we can. We start our trip with a 30-40 minute ride out to the lake. When we arrive at the fishing grounds, the Captain and mate will set lines and begin trolling. This will be the time for you to sit back and relax while we wait for a fish to bite. When that happens, you’ll spring into action and reel in your catch. At the docks, the crew will clean and package your fish for your trip home.

Had a great time with Sam on the Lake this morning! Fishing has been tough, but we still managed to get a few kings in the boat. They know what they’re talking about and have the gear to be successful!

Your Captain

Captain Sam, Fishing Charter in Grand Haven, MI

Captain Sam grew up fishing with his dad in Grand Haven, Michigan. At age of 14, Sam started working his first job on a charter boat. He continued to work on boats as a mate until he turned 19 and acquired his captains license. Captain Sam continued working as both captain and mate, seeking any opportunity to help customers get a large catch. In 2022, Captain Sam made the decision to go out on his own and buy his boat, “Fowl Hooked,” and start up his business, Fish N Fowl Guide Service.
