We're Booking now for our 2022 Season!
Netminder Charters is located in Manistee, Michigan. Captain Jacob Bartynski runs fishing charters year round on the Lake Michigan and the Big Manistee as well as fishing many of the tournaments. Netminder Charters targets steelhead, chinook and coho salmon, brown and lake trout.

We fish the Big Manistee river from late fall to mid-April for the steelhead and salmon run. Enclosed heated boat.

Then in late April and into May we will start fishing Lake Michigan. The port of Manistee is known around the Great Lakes for some of the biggest salmon. The netminder is guaranteed to put you right on top of the action. Once the Chinook salmon action gets going, these deep divers can but up quite the fight as they try to spool all the line, they can weigh as much as 30lbs.

The "Netminder" is a 36' Tiara with a wide open deck. She is built for big water sportfishing. Tiara is one of the most comfortable fishing boats on the market today, her wide beam and open fishing deck offers plenty of room for your fishing party. Features include a private stand-up head, an eating area, an indoor cabin.

She's fast to open water and fully equipped with state-of-the-art electronics that include radar, autopilot, color graph, electronic downriggers, and we have an extensive tackle selection.
