North Point Marina has plenty of places for putting a boat, but it's more than that. Also there's entertainment. There's things like banquets and live music. Came here the last time, and went to the beer garden. It has Harbor beers on tap. There's also cocktails, so you can get whatever. It's about $9 for a cocktail. The Harbor Lagoon is a good one. Could say it's a deceptively strong one, plus it's pretty cool looking. This is made with Blue Curacao, Long Island Mix, orange juice, pineapple juice, and Sprite. Also got some of the Knotty Pretzels, good with beer. There's not much in the way of food, but you can bring something to eat on the patio for sure. Have some good drinks and fun while boating. It's also close to a pretty cool nature preserve. This also has live music in the summer on weekends.

He was knowledgeable about where exactly to go and catch our limit, which we did in less than 2 hours. Such a fun time and will definitely be going back on another one of his charters in the future. His boat is clean and he has everything needed to catch what you're fishing for. If you want to make memories, have some laughs and catch some salmon, Diamond Ghost Charters is where you need to be. We had such a great time. Thanks again, Captain Tony!

My first time here. I've avoided this area because it's surrounded by iffy neighborhoods with high…read morecrime rates like murders. They had a fall festival this past weekend with free guided walks so I figured it would be safe for us. Loved the guided walk and how informative it was. This is a high quality state park with lots of native plants still intact. So the whole place is pretty deserted but it did rain in the morning. Cars with completely tinted windows drive around in broad daylight. Pretty scary...The campgrounds have security that do not allow you to pass through unless you are a camper so that would make it safe. I saw a few police cars in the area as well. Personally, this isn't for me but if you are street smart, know your way around the neighborhood, it's great for hiking.

The fishing was fairly good, we caught "22" Coho Salmon; Rainbow & Lake Trout out of approximately "30" bites. What always impresses me is that Captain Matt is knowledgeable of the lake and always is trying something to catch fish. When some tactic isn't working, he'll try something else. He was sensitive the the ladies in our group, as was Jonathan. The wives appreciated the attention. We use Jackpot Chaters because we want to catch fish and we do. Thank You for a special day on the water. John C.

While they did find the gas line in the back where I placed it, completely unacceptable and ridiculous.

For Father's Day I decided to charter a boat to do some fishing with my Dad... it turned out to be a day we will never forget. I've fished my whole life, but never on a charter on a lake like Lake Michigan, so I wasn't for sure what to expect. Captain Jim gives very thorough instructions on how and what he expects from you... and then he works his magic! He has 12 LINES out at once and constantly changed depths, speed, lures, etc.... whatever it took to make sure we kept catching fish. In saying that, we ended up catching the MAX AMOUNT of fish we were allowed to keep by law... the smallest fish was maybe 10-12 pounds... they were all huge, I've never seen anything like it! The biggest fish was a King Salmon... definitely north of 20 lbs. The cost to charter for 8 hours was $690... after tip the total was $870, and I don't hesitate to say it was the best $870 ever spent. We had 5 people (3 of my buddies joined in), so it turned out to be $170 a piece...everyone agreed it was more than worth what we got. Speaking of what we got... we ended up with 75 lbs of fish fillets... I'll be eating fish for the next year, and we split the fish up 3 ways!! If you're looking for a Charter, Captain Jim and Lucky Dog is where it's at... we drove up from downtown Chicago, and the drive was simple... no need to look any further, this is your guy. HAVE FUN!!
