– Mike F~ Tripadvisor June 2020Captain Mike Jousma took my family of 5 fishing in August, not the greatest month at Flathead Lake for fishing, Our half day charter did not disappoint -- he got us all at least one Lake Trout. He is a real pro, and a terrific guy to hang out with on the boar. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a charter on Flathead Lake!
– bizmark95 ~TripAdvisor August 2020~What an awesome half day out on Flathead Lake with captain Mike! We started the day out trolling and got into some lakers and a 1 bull trout. After that he took us to do some jigging and my wife hooked a nice 10 pound lake trout. Mike did an amazing job taking care of everything and while he filleted the fish he let us jump in the lake for a swim. We took a couple fish back and cooked them on the grill, they were absolutely amazing. Will def be back but next time will be booking a full day. If you're looking for a great fishing charter i wouldn't go with anyone else.

– Grant F. July 2020 TripadvisorMike worked very hard to get us on fish. He never rested and that is what proved to be the payoff. My 14 year old son caught several fish that were personal best including a 31 inch Lake Trout. Mike is really knowledgeable about the ecosystem around the lake and how it impacts the fishing. We had an amazing day and will be back to use Mike's services again.
– John M. TripAdvisor June 2020Mike is a great Fishing Guide, person, educator and a very interesting individual. We caught trout, learned about the lake and had a blast. Book him today!
– Mike F. Trip Advisor June 2020Beautiful lake, good conversation, good company in a relaxed atmosphere. Capt'n Mike displayed expertise and overall knowledge of the area and skill in location and luring in the fish. His going the extra effort to explain his techniques and general fishing knowledge was greatly appreciated. All of us were novice anglers who relied heavily on Capt'n Mike's experience. All in the boat landed a fish and even returned a large one back for others to enjoy.
– Steven F. TripAdvisor June 2020I would definitely recommend Capt. Mike. Not only did we catch a lot of fish but we had a great time and conversation with Capt Mike. My dad at 80 was able to easily enjoy the trip Capt Mike thought of everything and took care of everything. Nice boat, everything was very professional. Would not hesitate to go again!
– Dan S. Trip Advisor May 2020We fished on Lake Koocanusa by Eureka MT with Captain Joe for large rainbow. We caught more than expected and some were large males. Even 2 bull trout. Joe is an excellent host and guide. He has great pride in his boat. Very clean and enclosed cabin kept us cozy. Ladies, there is no bathroom, fyi. Also, bring your own snacks and beverages. We plan on going again with Capt. Joe
– Lisa HolcombHands down the best experience EVER! My (newly) Husband and I went to flathead for our honeymoon and really wanted a good experience fishing. Even though we aren’t in peak season, Rebecca made it happen for us. She was wonderful to begin with! Capt. Mike was so much fun, made everything so easy and comfortable. We are going to make this a yearly event as a couple :) Thank you, for making it the highlight on our honeymoon!!! -Kailee & Trent
– Kailee & Trent TripAdvisor September 2019We booked the half day trip with Mike and enjoyed our time on the water with him. Top notch guide service...professional from start to finish. His lovely wife Rebecca handles the booking side and helped us so much with local information. Weather wasn't the best, but Mike's boat made it very comfortable. Highlight of the day came on the troll in when my wife landed a bull trout! Blessings, Gregg and Ginger
– Gregg E. TripAdvisor September 2019Great day on Flathead, in large part due to the quality of the Captain! His knowledge of the late and the fish is excellent! Mike was fun and put us on the fish over and over. The boat is pristine and you can tell he cares about the details and that his guests have a great experience; we did! Highly recommend him!
– GNZ TripAdvisor August 2019My nephew spent a half day out on Flathead Lake with Capt. Kirk and it was the highlight of his trip. He was so excited to finally catch fish (and a lot of them, too) after not having much luck at all while fishing the lakes in Glacier. He's convinced now that if his first career choice doesn't pan out, maybe he'll become a fishing guide.
– Michaline T. Trip Advisor August 2019Really enjoyed the half day my wife and i spent w Mike on a guided trip on Flathead lake. He knows so much about the fish and the lake. We couldn’t have had a better guide. Caught a bunch of fish too! He peeped all the fish for us and they made a great dinner!
– USC Richie TripAdvisor August 2019If you want to book a fishing charter on Flathead Lake, I would 100% recommend captain Mike to you every day. He is so knowledgeable about the fish you're catching and the whole ecosystem of the lake as well. He has a scientific understanding that is fascinating, and deep experience that combine to create the perfect captain for your next fishing trip!
– Sydney W. Trip Advisor July 2019Went lake fishing with my wife and grandson for 1/2 day. Erik was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and catching some nice fish. Stopped counting but probably 15 lake trout and two bull trout ( one about 12 lbs) that my grandson had a ball landing. No negatives at all. Go and enjoy.
– Gary D. TripAdvisor July 2019You want fish? Go with Captain Mike. You want size? Go with Captain Mike. You want to have a wonderful experience on gorgeous Flathead Lake in a state-of-the-art boat with state-of-the-art equipment and a guy who can put you onto fish right away? Go with Captain…well, you get the picture. And, as long as I’m talking about pictures, all the while you’re fishing, you’re surrounded by stunningly beautiful Montana mountains. As in previous comments, Mike is a wealth of detailed information about fishing, the ecosystem of Flathead Lake, and important historical aspects of the region. Our group caught so many fish, laughed so hard, and enjoyed the whole experience so incredibly much, we’ll be back.

– EKrissie19 TripAdvisor June 2019We had so much fun and captain Mike was the best! Caught so many fish words can't describe how excellent it was!
– Christy KMy husband and I had a great time on Captain Mike's Fishing Charter. Captain Mike is a great fishing guide and makes sure his customers have a great time and catch lots of fish! We will definitely fish with him again in the future.
– Katie B. TripAdvisor June 2019Great day with Captn Mike on Flathead Lake! He's truly the best guide I have ever been around, gracious, knowledgeable, and works extremely hard to make the most of your day. I would recommend to anyone from die hard fish nuts to families wanting a memorable day in Flathead valley. Thanks Captn Mike!
Now I know why they have 5star Google, when met Mike at Somers boat launch and headed out for a half-day fishing trip try to catch the Mac’s Fishing started out a little slow then Mike went to a secret spot and the bite was on absolutely a kick in the butt. Very nice boat from Stevens Marina, Mike our guide was fantastic real kick and a good fisherman. Would highly recommend to anybody that is in Flathead Lake area to take the time to go out and fish with Captain Mike’s charter boats.
