The Riverboats
Fishing on the Big Manistee River, doesn’t get any better. There are three river boats in the FishChaser Charter fleet available for charters. The first is an 18 foot, enclosed and heated riverboat. It’s perfect for cold weather fishing. The other two are 16 foot open riverboats. Accommodations on the riverboats are for two people, but larger groups can be entertained with enough notice. Riverboat fishing is discontinued from May 1 - August 31, but is available (weather permitting) the rest of the year.
