You’re not fishing with a guide you’re fishing with a friend. Always a fun and comfortable atmosphere. keep an eye on the second meet that is usually his son and sometimes his daughter. It’s a family run business. Fishing is fishing, but Rob will work his butt off to get fish in your box and we have yet to fail! I’ll be setting up two more trips for this summer if not more. Book him while you can!

Our family had an absolutely fantastic experience with Manhardt Charters! We brought a three-generation group of six people ranging in age from 14 to 67, and every one of us had an amazing time. The crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the trip. As a first-time fisherman, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they made the experience easy, fun, and exciting from start to finish. The fish started biting within about 15 minutes of getting out on the water, and thanks to the captain’s expertise and knowledge of Lake Michigan, there was never a dull moment. Everyone had opportunities to reel in fish, and the action seemed nonstop. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of shade and protection from the wind. At the end of the trip, the crew expertly cleaned all of our fish, making the experience completely hassle-free. Best of all, our group of six went home with an incredible 28 beautiful Coho salmon! We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. If you’re looking for a Lake Michigan fishing charter that delivers great fishing, a professional crew, and a memorable experience for all ages, I highly recommend Manhardt Charters. We can’t wait to come back! 🎣🐟🚤

We just finished up a great fishing trip with Manhardt Charters! Captain Rob was super helpful and friendly. His personality and experience made the trip enjoyable and successful. We will definitely be booking another charter fishing experience with him in the future!

Hands down the best charter I’ve ever been on. These guys know exactly what they’re doing and worked their butts off to keep us on fish the whole trip. They treated us like friends instead of just another group on the boat, and you can tell they actually care about making sure everyone has an awesome time! The boat was clean, the gear was top notch, and the whole experience was worth every penny I can’t say enough good things about these guys. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, stop looking and book this one you won’t regret it We’ll definitely be back. Thanks again for an unforgettable day on the water!
