Premier Salmon & Trout Charters - Frankfort, MI
Big water. Big fish. Big Memories.
SALMON & TROUT
A Trip to Remember
Come fish the pristine waters of Lake Michigan out of Frankfort. This stretch of big water is known for its clear depths and powerful salmon and trout that draw anglers back year after year.
Aboard the CatPack, you’ll fish with advanced electronics, a clean and organized deck, and a setup designed for a safe, productive day on the lake. And because every trip is private, the boat is yours — no shared groups, no crowds, just your crew and the open water.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard and giving you a fantastic day on Lake Michigan.
Trip Details
Expert Fishing Guides
Captain Evans started fishing for trout and salmon out of Frankfort in the early 70's. Fifty-five years later he now fishes with his son Brent who has been fishing Frankfort since 2009. With our knowledge of the local waters, our team works to ensure that you have an unforgettable fishing trip.
All-Inclusive Packages
We offer all-inclusive fishing packages that include everything you need for a successful fishing trip. A typical trip is five hours, leaving the dock at 5AM or 5PM in mid-summer, running 10-12 lines using downriggers, diver rods, and lead core or copper lines off trolling boards. From fishing equipment, to baits, to filets, we've got you covered. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of you.
Family-Friendly
Fishing is a great way to spend quality time with your family. We offer family-friendly fishing trips that are suitable and customizable for all ages, including no charge for guests 10 and under.
Variety of Fish
The local waters are home to a variety of fish, including brown trout, king salmon, lake trout, steelhead, coho salmon and more. Seasonal patterns often dictate where and what fish are available.
Customizable Trips
We understand that every angler is unique. That's why we offer customizable fishing trips that can be tailored to your preferences. Whether you want to fish for a specific type of fish or explore a particular area, want a longer or shorter trip, we'll make it happen.
Great Value
We offer competitive pricing for our fishing trips, without compromising on quality. You'll get great value for your money with our all-inclusive packages. While inflation and fuel price have effect everyone, CatPack Sport Fishing has not increased any of our trip packages for 2026.
No Fish, No Fee
We stand behind every trip. If the fish don’t cooperate, you don’t pay. It’s that simple.
FISH LIKE A PRO WITH CATPACK SPORT FISHING
We Provide Everything You Need
Captain Evans is a U.S. Merchant Marine–licensed charter captain.
The CatPack is inspected by both the U.S. Coast Guard and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. All required safety gear and equipment are certified and on board for your protection.
You won’t need to worry about preparation — we provide all tackle and bait, and we’ll fillet and bag your catch at the end of the trip. Just bring your state fishing license, sunscreen, refreshments, and a cooler to keep your catch cold on the way home.
Personalized Fishing Trips
We offer fully customized fishing trips tailored to your goals and experience level. Whether you’re targeting a specific species or prefer a longer or shorter outing, we’ll shape the trip to make sure you have the best day possible on Lake Michigan.
The CatPack is a Lund 2000 Sport Angler purpose‑built for trolling. It’s equipped with downriggers, divers, lead‑core and copper setups, and high‑end electronics including Lowrance chart plotters, Garmin LiveScope, and a Minn Kota Ulterra Quest trolling system. The wide-open rear deck provides as much fishing room as many larger boats, giving your crew plenty of space to work lines and fight fish.
We welcome all ages and experience levels. We enjoy teaching as much as catching fish, and we’re happy to walk you through our equipment, show you how to set lines, or let you net your own fish if you’d like. It’s your private trip — we’re here to make it memorable.
