Captain Mike was ready to fish! Made our fishing trip truly enjoyable from start to finish. Morning started off slow. Captain Mike wasted no time, changed baits, moved to deeper water and than BAM! 7 Coho salmon 6 big Trout. One was probably 15-20lbs. Great fishing experience!

We had a great time with Captain Mike and Jake. Mike runs a well organized operation. He put us on the fish from the start and we filled the cooler. I highly recommend Leisure Time Charters for a family fun Great Lakes experience.
