Our season begins in May and continues until late October. During the spring and summer months, we focus on light tackle fishing, while September and October feature heavy tackle techniques.

At Whitecap Charters, we provide you with top-of-the-line gear from Shimano, Okuma, and Ugly Stik. With our equipment, you can catch a variety of fish including Chinook and Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Perch, and Steelhead.

For our fishing trips, we will be using the 'Whitecap II', a 27' American International cuddy cabin boat powered by twin 225 HP Yamaha engines. It can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers and can be easily transported to various ports such as Manistee, Ludington, Traverse City, Bay Harbor, Charlevoix, and Frankfort.

The Whitecap II is fully equipped to ensure your fishing success. We provide all the necessary gear and tackle, as well as bait. At the end of the trip, we offer a complimentary fish cleaning service.
