Join Captain Doug Karakas and EfishNsea Charters for a fun filled day of big water charter fishing from the Lake Michigan port of Grand Haven.  Some of Michigan's best big water fishing takes place from this southwest Michigan port. From early spring ice out to late summer, early fall -  we'll target some of the best sport fish Michigan has to offer.  Captain  Karakas also offers select dates at Drummond Island in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and year-round River and Stream guided fishing and drift fishing trips on many of Michigan's best rivers and streams.
