Testimonials

On 9/16/2026 Matt Adams had this to say:
Wicked awesome experience. The Captain and his crew were off the hook with making this a memorable experience for my Wife and I. 100 and 10% would recommend Coldwater Charters to anyone wanting to experience the thrills and excitement of off shore open water fishing for Salmon and Trout on the historic Lake Michigan.

On 8/6/2026 Brockman crew had this to say:
We had an incredible experience with Coldwater Charters! Captain Mike and the crew worked hard from the moment we left the dock and kept us on fish all morning. We ended up catching a two-boat limit, which made for an unforgettable trip! The crew was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everyone had a great time, whether you were an experienced angler or fishing Lake Michigan for the first time. The equipment was top-notch, the boat was clean, and they even cleaned and packaged our catch at the end of the trip. If you’re looking for an exciting day on the water with an experienced captain who knows how to put you on fish, I highly recommend Coldwater Charters. We’ll definitely be back for another trip. Thanks again for an amazing day! Testimonial written by Brockman crew on this site.

On 8/5/2026 Samantha Davis had this to say:
We went on a 5am charter this morning with 4 kids( 9,11,11, &14) and the crew was amazing. Super personable, funny, patient ( takes a little longer for the smaller kids to reel in). They answered every question the kids threw at them and just really made the whole experience great. I would recommend them to anyone.

On 8/3/2026 John Robertson had this to say:
Captain Mike and Owen did a great job and were very kind and helpful the entire time we were with them. These guys clearly have decades of experience in fishing/ guiding. We will definitely use them again and will recommend to friends and family. Thanks for the great time and atmosphere!!

On 8/3/2026 Logan Swales had this to say:
