I've fished with more than 250 fishing guides across the US and Kyle Buck ranks among the top of…read morethat list. Why? Because a guide needs to be more than just a good angler to catch fish. The most important part of a guide is how they interact with clients and Kyle's laid back personality enables him to cater to whomever is on his boat. He uses positive instruction, rather than anger when things don't go perfect (a problem with many guides in America). Fortunately, Buck is surrounded by wonderful fisheries and can put clients on salmon and steelhead without much effort. Whether in his lake boat or river boat, you'll enjoy a day with Kyle. He's one of the few guides I've met that isn't jarred by going later in the day or adjusting to client's schedules. He's not just a good guide, rather a good person. Good luck finding a better well rounded and friendly guide - in Michigan.

Captain Jeff & Jack really made our first time charter fishing an amazing experience! Among the…read morefive in our group were my 3 sons, 12 & 14 year olds and my dad. First Mate, Jack kept busy setting up the poles and assisting the boys with techniques and tips to reel in some big fish! Jack was every supportive & encouraging! Captain Jeff took us to the "honey holes" and watched the fish finder to maximize our bounty! These men were very skilled in their roles & the amount of fish we brought home made the expense of the trip well worth it! Thank you to Captain Jeff, and Jack! And most of all thanks to God for delivering the fish!

We recently ended our membership with this boat club after a series of concerning experiences…read more After years of having a positive experience, things went south this summer. On one outing where we had our grandson, we were sent out on the lake with an empty gas tank--a serious safety oversight. When we used the radio to let the dock know the gas panel was flashing an "empty" warning, we were told "half of the boats do not show the correct gas level." We had to cut our two hour reservation in half. On another outing with our two grandkids and were not shown where life vests were stored on a boat we had never used before, which left us feeling unprepared and vulnerable. The radio they had given us didn't work, so we had to boat back to the dock which cut our two hour reservation in half...again. When we brought these issues to the general manager's attention, we were met with dismissiveness rather than accountability. For a service that costs over $250/month and is only usable for a few short months in Michigan, we expected far better communication, safety protocols, and customer care. We love being on the water, but safety and integrity matter. We hope the club takes these concerns seriously and improves its onboarding and oversight practices for future members.
