The above guide is based on a statistical analysis of documented catches made on the FishChaser and 3 riverboats over the past 5 years.
*Charters available from April 10 through late October.

**Riverboat fishing is discontinued May 1 - August 31, as we concentrate our efforts on Lake Michigan.
Times are from dockside departure to return or your limit.
No reservation is confirmed until deposit is received. Deposit must be received within 2 weeks of booking.
If we are compelled to cancel a charter because of weather or water conditions you will be rescheduled or your deposit will be returned. Cancellations must be accomplished within 4 weeks prior to your charter.
No drugs allowed on vessel. Alcoholic beverages are permitted; however, intoxication is not. Bob will issue a warning if he feels that there is a problem. If the situation does not improve, Bob will discontinue the charter, no refund. Your safety is our responsibility.
Full payment will be made upon completion of trip.

We clean and package your fish.
