Captain Bruce doesn’t mess around when it comes to salmon fishing!  I booked a half-day trip with my kids, none of whom had ever charter fished before.  We got to the marina early and Captain Bruce and Mason were already onboard ready to go.  Bruce’s boat is the nicest charter boat I’ve ever been on, it’s a new boston whaler with the full setup.  It was pitch black out on the lake and we shined up the lures, dropped them in, and within minutes we were hitting the salmon.  I’ve been on charters where you’re lucky to get anything, but we hit it big with 6 kings and 3 cohos.  While it was still dark, you could see all of the other charter boats to the north of the lighthouse, while we were fishing by ourselves about a mile south.  Pretty soon the other charters started creeping over to our spot!  My 12 year old son brought his first coho on his own, while I helped my daughters catch their fish.  Captain Bruce and Mason were great and were very helpful in making it easy for the kids to fish.  The morning came to a close and we were pulling the lines when all of the sudden we got a fish on.  I was helping my son with what ended up being the biggest fish of the day, when we got another fish on.  My son and I landing two salmon at the same time is a memory we won’t ever forget!  After we got back, Captain Bruce and Mason fileted the fish and we were good to go. 

Summing it all up, Captain Bruce is an extremely experienced charter captain who delivered big time and gave us a day we’ll never forget.  Thanks again Captain Bruce!!!

We started out at 5am we couldn’t have ask for a better day, once we got to our location on lake michigan, first mate Caleb got right at it getting poles set up and getting them out. Captain was very knowledgeable on how deep to fish and what lures to use, wasn’t too long after getting poles out we started pulling them in, it was a Great experience and I would recommend Rig and Roll Chaters for everyone 👌.

When the sun began to set, the salmon got hungry. Captain Bruce and his charming wife, Karen, put me on the fish. It was action packed until last light and we headed to port. Captain Bruce Shane and Karen really took care of me.

Probably the best charter experience that I’ve had in this area of Lake Michigan. Captain Bruce and first mate Caleb put us on the target species and gave us a very fun and enjoyable experience. I will definitely use this charter again.

We had a great time! Captain Bruce and First Mate Caleb worked hard to help us catch some fish. My kids and I were very excited to reel in some trout and salmon. This was a fun trip for us!
