What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Grand Haven, Michigan for the first time?

There's a dedicated pier for charter fishing at the Chinook pier, but I would recommend booking well in advance. Parking can be a pain(especially if it's a nice beach day), but even if you cannot find parking at the pier, the parking around the area makes for a short walk through beautiful downtown Grand Haven.

Fish with another company . Book with another company and don't always believe the reviews you read. Don't book any charters until end of may apparently the water is too cold and fish aren't biting till then so you're wasting money, but the captain won't tell you this till you've already gone out on dangerous waters and caught nothing.

Timing seemed perfect, today was Friday May 13. According to Captain Dana, around this time, is your best chance of catching big fish, and he was right.

Try to go on a cool day. Cooler water is better for fishing. Love them King Salmon.

Well the swells on the water are big. If you get sea sick well wear wrist bands for motion sickness. But sunscreen and have a great time. Get ready to burn up your arms reeling in a big one..

There are so many different charters it felt overwhelming. I definitely recommend researching and taking your time to choose. The right one will more than likely be in Grand Haven!

A map of the pier area would be helpful. The address alone doesn't get you right to the boat.

Bring a cooler with ice cause your taking a lot of delicious meat home with you!

This was avery enjoyable experience and would recommend using their services to anyone. Jim
