We knew we were moving our middle daughter to Grand Rapids from North Dakota for school at some point, we just weren't sure of the date. I decided that since we were driving that far I would treat myself to a salmon charter. Once we found out the date, I started making calls to see if I could get on a boat. With less than a month before the move date, I didn't have high hopes of finding anything. Contacted a few but everybody was booked up. Sent an email to Big Weenie and Capt. Jeremy responded shortly after with his phone number to call him. After explaining the situation, Capt. Jeremy scheduled my wife and I for a morning charter on his personal boat (he has a regular charter boat he owns, and his own boat that he uses for tournament fishing and a few charters). We made arrangements to meet early on the morning of the charter since the best bite was right at sunrise (we were the first boat out of the marina, I believe). Capt. Jeremy and deck hand Brooks had lines out before it was light out and our first fish in the boat shortly after. We caught lake trout, a coho, a steelhead, and a king on our trip. Capt. Jeremy and Brooks worked hard to put on us the fish and switching baits out to get the bites. Was very happy with the trip, the boat, and the crew. Special thanks to Capt. Jeremy for getting us out on short notice. I'll be looking him up when we visit again!
