Fish the famous Big Manistee River for drag-burning king salmon and acrobatic trophy steelhead from the comfort of a custom jet sled with Michigan native, Captain Ben Wolfe.   Experience the thrill of the take and the heart-pounding mayhem to follow when one of these powerful fish explodes on your offering.  No trolling whatsoever, this is 100% casting and close-quarters combat when these fish move into the rivers.  Casting plugs, drifting spawn bags or jigs or backbouncing skein, we cover it all.  USCG licensed, inspected and insured.  We hold State and Federal permits for the Big Manistee River.

Great time! Big fish!

I’ve been fishing with Captain Ben for a couple of years now. Every time we get out on the water, it’s tons of fun with lots of laughter. I feel that Captain Ben really knows his fishery well. He’s always managed to put me on fish. He even got my girlfriend to fish, which is a huge plus for me. I always learn a lot, and am anxious to fish with him again this coming year.

Normally, I bass fish with Captain Ben in Traverse City, but when he told me how good a salmon fishery there was on the Manistee River, and how much I would enjoy experiencing something new, I had to try. Now I’m a total believer. Captain Ben got me my biggest salmon ever—a bright silver 18 pounder. He knows the river extremely well, and knew just what to do. Believe me, I’ll be back.
