Tony and Alex took great care of us - we are not experienced at all but they were professional, friendly, and clearly knew their stuff. We came away with some beautiful king salmon and are looking forward to enjoying them! If you're considering a charter out of Leland or Traverse City, call Tony!

The port of Leland is for the adventurer that wants to experience the wide open waters of Lake Michigan. We will meet at the Leland Harbor Boat launch ramp, near the flagpole, at 107 N. Lake Street, Leland, Michigan 49654. Then we will fish in the Manitou Passage and around the Manitou Islands, which provides various habitat for all the cold water species we target. You will definitely have a chance to catch a fish of a lifetime.
When the fishing is over and you’ve returned to harbor your fish will be taken to Carlson’s Fishery to be filleted, deboned and sealed in shaved ice. If you would like to have your fish prepared for you, the Cove Restaurant is just a short walk from Carlson’s Fishery.
