Tony and Alex took great care of us - we are not experienced at all but they were professional, friendly, and clearly knew their stuff. We came away with some beautiful king salmon and are looking forward to enjoying them! If you're considering a charter out of Leland or Traverse City, call Tony!

My Pack and I came up from Northern KY for the week got to go out twice. Captain Tony and his crew are top notch. We had some heavy winds and he made the correct decisions to play it differently, which landed us some of the biggest gains! Both days across multiple charters who also went out. Extremely knowledgeable/ifficent while being engaging in a brother you never met kind of way. Will be seeing you soon!!

First class all the way and puts you on the fish! My wife and I and our three little girls went out with Captain Tony and first mate Alex and had the best time with a quick limit for everyone. Cannot recommended high enough!?

My family and I have been on fishing charters with the awesome Captain Tony the past three summers, June 2021, 2022, and 2023, and I can say he delivers a memorable charter fishing experience every time.The very first charter in 2021 we headed out to catch lake trout, and he knew exactly where to go. We took turns catching many excellent fish and then my father-in-law asked Captain Tony if there was any luck we could catch a king salmon. He knew a place, and the odds were against us since it was early in the season, but we pulled up a beauty. We took our haul to Carlson's in Leland to have the fish cleaned up, and took some of it to The Cove to have a "fish party" with the whole family.This repeated each year, but in 2022, we caught our record breaker, a 20+lbs Lake Trout. He had his new boat starting this year, and it was awesome, with comfortable places to sit out of the elements.And this year, 2023, we got up extra early at Captain Tony's advice in order to seek out king salmon! We traveled out to just off the shores of North Manitou Island, and sure enough, we caught 4 beautiful king salmon, including my father-in-law pulling up a 20lbs beauty!Captain Tony is always friendly, fun, makes great conversation, and always has friendly and helpful first mates. Both the Captain and mate are great with everyone of all ages who come aboard, asking questions, making conversation, and keeping people involved in the process.He shows you how he baits and put out his reels, can tell you how deep the fish are, a bit about the geology of the lake, and more. When the fish are biting, they are always excited, "Fish on!" and the next person in line, jumps up and gets to attempt to reel in that fish!If you are in to fishing, and want to have a great time, give Captain Tony a call with Reelin' Leland!

Captain Tony and crewmate David took out for the second time in this spring. Again, we had a great time on the water. Tony knew where to take us for the best fishing and maximized our catches. We couldn't be happier with the hospitality, equipment and overall expertise. We're looking forward to our next fishing trip with Tony!

Captain Tony and his team are simply the best at what they do. Great experience every time we go out with him. My son was able to get his first laker on his boat and was an awesome family experience!

Reelin Leland Fishing Charters is the best. Captain Tony does an excellent job, we have used his charter multiple times. A great time was had by our entire group and he made the trip very special for my boys. We will definitely be back next year!

Captain Dylan hit it out of the park for us. An able angler, hard-working at teaching, story-telling and filleting, he gave us a memorable morning on the lake. Recommended without reservation.

We went out with Captain Tony this week and had a great time. 40 mph winds were predicted so we met him in the West Bay and were able to fish for Lake Trout. My kids loved it and had a blast. Tony cleaned our fish and we grilled some for dinner that night! We will be back next year!

Tony is the best! Very knowledgeable, and helps you understand what, and why you're fishing the way you are. Best chance of putting you over the bite, and makes it the best experience. My family always loves our annual trip with the Reelin Leland!
