Kom vissen op zalm & forel op Lake Michigan (vertrek vanuit Belmont harbor Chicago). Schipper Jason heeft meer dan 45 jaar ervaring met chartervissen op Lake Michigan.
Er worden vaak 5 vissoorten gevangen: forel, regenboogforel & Amerikaanse meerforel & coho & chinook zalm. Bultrug zalm & Atlantische zalm zitten in het meer maar worden zelden gevangen.
We hebben de nieuwste suite van Garmin viszoekende elektronica, drie grafieken, kaartplotters, reguliere 2D, & live view, sonar, & radar. We gebruiken Shimano Telora hengels & Tekota molens die vol gehouden worden met de beste lijn & eindmateriaal. Cannon Tournament Series downriggers koppelen via bluetooth aan onze Fish Hawk snelheids- & temperatuursonde (oppervlakte & diep trollen).
Voor uw plezier, neem uw favoriete afspeellijst mee (smartphone) & koppel deze aan ons Fusion marine entertainmentsysteem, bluetooth-compatibele stereo, luister naar uw muziek terwijl we vissen. Kinderen welkom.
Veiligheid is onze #1 prioriteit, we gaan verder dan de vereisten van de US Coast Guard & state DNR regelgeving. Vraag de schipper voor meer info over veiligheidsvoorzieningen. Neem mee wat u wilt eten & drinken & een koelbox om uw vangst mee naar huis te nemen. Ja, we fileren uw vangst, het is gebruikelijk om de schipper & bemanning een fooi te geven. We ontdarmen/snijden de vis niet in moten. U mag uw vis heel mee naar huis nemen. De schipper is een bekwaam kunstenaar, als u een vangst heeft die u zich wilt herinneren, vraag hem dan naar het schilderen van uw vis in Japanse stijl!
U gaat trollen vanaf onze 2008 Tiara 3000 open sportvismodel, met een totale lengte van 33 voet heeft deze de breedste balk in zijn categorie, namelijk 12,5 voet. Er is een toilet aan boord voor uw gemak. U moet een lokale IL visvergunning & zalmstempel kopen voor de trip. Eendagsvergunningen zijn online beschikbaar, plan vooruit.
Neem schoenen met zachte zolen mee, een zonnebril en een windjack/regenjas & hoed. Alcohol is toegestaan in matige hoeveelheden, vermijd alstublieft sterke drank en glazen flessen. Geen bananen. We zijn een drugsvrije boot. Schipper & bemanning moeten willekeurige drugstests ondergaan. kom op, laten we gaan, bel ons vandaag & boek een trip!!! Aanbetaling vereist om uw datum te reserveren.

What a Fishing Trip!!!!
5 Hr Trip Weekday Afternoon 6 max op August 13, 2025 • 3 volwassenen
Took my grandson (14 years old) and his aunt out for a day of real fishing. We're all novices to the sport of fishing, catching only bluegills and a few bass in a small pond. But this was the "big time" on Lake Michigan. Capt Jason and his crew made every effort for us to catch fish...... and they came thru!!!! He gave us instructions on how to work the fish and how to reel in the catch; it was a workout!!!! We caught some good size Lake Trout and some salmon. It was a day and a trip that we'll never forget!!! We're already talking about another trip with Capt Jason later this season or early next year, setting our sites on catching some more big ones!!!

We had such an incredible experience with Top Dog Fishing Charter! I brought my 15-year-old son and his friend, and it was hands down one of the highlights of their summer. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome, safe, and completely taken care of.
The captain was not only professional and experienced, but also patient and fun—he took the time to teach the boys some new techniques and kept the energy high the entire trip. They were both absolutely thrilled to catch some amazing fish and learn so much along the way.
It’s not easy to impress teenagers, but Top Dog delivered a day they’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend for families, especially if you’re looking for something memorable and exciting for your teens. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you so much for booking a day on the water with us, we are so happy we could be a part of you and your sons (and his friend) memories. Also thank you for the good review, kind words and attention to the standard that I strive to maintain... not only in service and catching fish, but, in safety and also just having a fun time. Hope to see you back again some day soon. Give us a call any time. Capt JB.

What a great way to celebrate our Dad!
6 Hr Trip Weekend AFTERNOON 6 Max op June 15, 2025 • 6 volwassenen
Screaming from the rooftops that Top Dog Charters is the best! Captain Jason Baldwin and Jacques (or as we all called him, Son) were fantastic! Their energy, passion, dedication and hard work to ensure that we understood all aspects of the trip (equipment, technology, techniques, types of fish caught) were amazing and they were more than happy to answer all our questions. They worked tirelessly to get us setup to successfully catch fish and we appreciated every bit of it. We lost some but we caught a lot more than we lost. Let me also mention how clean they kept the charter, always spraying down after every catch. Grateful that they also cleaned, filleted and packed our catch. They definitely go the extra mile!! Thank you so much for making our first fishing trip and our Dad’s Father’s Day so special. We wish you much success and highly recommend you to all!

Cynthia, thank you so much for booking us on Fathers Day. I really appreciate your kind words and review, thank you so much. I'm very happy your Dad caught 3 different species of fish, that is not always possible. Jacques and I enjoyed your family and hope you come back again sometime soon. So happy you had a wonderful time, and appreciated our efforts. Thank you for your generosity, come back fishing with us any time. Sincerely, Capt. Jason and.... my son, :) Jacques

5 Hr Trip Weekday Afternoon 6 max op June 26, 2025 • 3 volwassenen
Jason & Mike worked together like a team. The fishing was tough. However they kept after it. Different colors, changing depths, reversing direction… Then in the last hour it turned on with 5 more fish. Our last one was a 20 lbs Lake Trout. It took 20 minutes to get it in the boat. Those 2 worked hard and it made the difference of us catching 1-2 versus 7 on a tough day. Wonderful boat, great equipment, and good company. Would highly recommend this charter with Top Dog!
