Holland Michigan Fishing Charters​
​​
Lake Michigan, a jewel among the Great Lakes, harbors some of the finest salmon fishing experiences in the United States. Among the many fantastic locations along its shores, Holland, Michigan, stands out as a premier destination for anglers seeking the exhilaration of salmon fishing.
​
With easy access from nearby metros like Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Ann Arbor, the activity in Holland flourishes every season with fisherman and families visiting Lake Michigan. Plus, it's a relatively short drive from neighboring states like Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
​
Reel Talk first hit the water in 2014 in Holland, MI, and has quickly become one of the most recognized fishing charter companies in the area (check out our awards below!) Before starting the business, the seasoned crew worked aboard other charter boats on Lake Michigan building their knowledge of currents, weather patterns, and fishing tactics - which in turn has proved to put more fish in the boat for Reel Talk clients. When Reel Talk is not charter fishing, you may see the boat in various ports competing in fishing tournaments up and down the Michigan coast.
