First off, let me just say that Captain Tony is an awesome guy! This was our first charter with him…read moreand it did NOT disappoint. He was knowledgeable about where exactly to go and catch our limit, which we did in less than 2 hours. Such a fun time and will definitely be going back on another one of his charters in the future. His boat is clean and he has everything needed to catch what you're fishing for. If you want to make memories, have some laughs and catch some salmon, Diamond Ghost Charters is where you need to be. We had such a great time. Thanks again, Captain Tony!

The Red Witch is a wonderful experience. Not one single reservation in recommending Captain…read moreAndrew, his crew and the Tall Ship Red Witch for any type of occasion. Totally worth every penny spent to create a wonderful memory. I chartered the Red Witch for an 80th birthday party/family reunion and a fireworks cruise. We had 25 guests ranging in age from 22 - 82. Captain Andrew, his crew and our guests made magic that evening. Clearly the Red Witch is a labor of love for the captain and his crew...and we fell in love with all of them. It was raining softly as we gathered at Burnham Harbor about 1/2 hr before sailing. Captain Andrew says the Lake is a micro climate and that you can't tell what the weather will be until about 4 hrs before cruising time. At 8p he told me the rain would stop by 9p and it did (it actually stopped at 8:50). He knows his business. He gave us the option of cancelling the cruise but based on his reading of the weather, we went ahead, the rain stopped, the sky was clear over the stunning skyline and it became an absolutely beautiful evening. From the moment we boarded the ship, the energy was electric. Once we were out of the harbor, the crew asked for volunteers to hoist the sail - my 80 yr mother volunteered! The bar opened (a cooler) and there wasn't a dry glass the entire cruise. The captain asked if we had an ipod ( we forgot). The accommodations shipboard were fine. The ship is being slowly rehabbed...it is clean and has tremendous character. The crew and their attention were beyond my expectation. The only annoyance of the evening had nothing to do with the Red Witch but with parking. There was a concert on Northerly Island that evening and Soldier Field charged us $50 to park in the garage. Many of our group took Uber - highly recommended. A few rode their bikes and a few took the el - all easy. If you're not interested in paying through the roof for parking, make sure you check parking fees or leave your car at home. Do not hesitate to charter this ship for a special occasion.

Luke is the absolute best and went above and beyond to create a truly awesome day. We took off…read moreabout 530 am, Luke was ready and waiting for us. He was funny and engaging. Took us all around the lake, had up to ten lines in the water at one point. Every time a line jiggled you'd get Luke yelling "fish on." Be ready for some fun ribbing if you loose your fish. We were out for about six hours, the boat was clean, restroom was clean and we all had a great time. Luke then prepped all of our fish for us, bagged them up, and encouraged us to book our spring trip early. Will absolutely book with them again.

We had such a good day with Captain Jim that I felt compelled to let my fellow Yelpers know all…read moreabout it! For Father's Day I decided to charter a boat to do some fishing with my Dad... it turned out to be a day we will never forget. I've fished my whole life, but never on a charter on a lake like Lake Michigan, so I wasn't for sure what to expect. Captain Jim gives very thorough instructions on how and what he expects from you... and then he works his magic! He has 12 LINES out at once and constantly changed depths, speed, lures, etc.... whatever it took to make sure we kept catching fish. In saying that, we ended up catching the MAX AMOUNT of fish we were allowed to keep by law... the smallest fish was maybe 10-12 pounds... they were all huge, I've never seen anything like it! The biggest fish was a King Salmon... definitely north of 20 lbs. The cost to charter for 8 hours was $690... after tip the total was $870, and I don't hesitate to say it was the best $870 ever spent. We had 5 people (3 of my buddies joined in), so it turned out to be $170 a piece...everyone agreed it was more than worth what we got. Speaking of what we got... we ended up with 75 lbs of fish fillets... I'll be eating fish for the next year, and we split the fish up 3 ways!! If you're looking for a Charter, Captain Jim and Lucky Dog is where it's at... we drove up from downtown Chicago, and the drive was simple... no need to look any further, this is your guy. HAVE FUN!!

We ended up with 2 Kings and 2 Lake trout all about 20-22 lbs. plus two smaller Steelheads. We missed a couple probably due to me not keeping enough tensionn on the initial bite. Captain Caleb and First mate Sam were super helpful, no critisim of our handling of the rod/reels, and very friendly. Felt like long time friends by the end of the charter. This is our second charter with Migrator. We went on a late morning charter 3-4 years ago with similar results.

We booked our trip with Matt and were looking forward to it. It started out with Matt asking us to…read morebe there at 5 AM sharp in Racine, WI (I guessed they moved their location up North but that's good) so that we can start fishing early. And we did. Too bad Matt didn't bother to roll in until 6 AM. At 5:15AM we called and he said to stop by the fish cleaning station and he'll pick us up soon. 30 minutes later we called again and he hung up on my brother (Captain Matt must not be a morning person! Ha!). And it only went downhill from there. The real kicker is Matt's attitude. I don't know if he had a bad day or what (he actually was better towards the end of the trip) but it doesn't really matter. This could have been a lot of fun for all of us but we felt like he didn't want to be there (and yes, he did try to reschedule for another day the week before but Saturday was the only day we could do this). If he didn't want to go, he should have just cancelled the event. We would've found a different venue. As we got on board no one bothered to ask who's fished before and who's new to this. No rules were explained, no tips, no anything. Just "sit down, let's get this over with" type of approach. It's a shame because it had potential. The fishing part of the trip was fun and we landed 15 fish in 8 hours. Most of them in the first couple of hours which makes is a shame we couldn't actually start when he told us we would. They cleaned up the fish really nicely and quickly right on the boat. We actually enjoyed watched the crew do this. Pretty cool. I'm giving Matt and his business 2 stars because Yelp's description of two stars - "Meh. I've experienced better." sums it up perfectly. We'll go fishing again, just probably not with Matt, though :) So, in short - this could have been much better if the crew brought a good attitude with them on Saturday. Hopefully they will consider this next time.
