Captain Andy owns Intimidator Sportfishing Charters, and is a top charter captain out of the port of Frankfort, just south of Traverse City. Andy specializes in trolling Lake Michigan for huge limits of king salmon, lake trout, and steelhead. Big brown trout are also quite common early in the season.
Andy is another good friend of mine, and a good friend to Sport Fish Michigan. His big Lake Michigan boat, the Intimidator, is booked almost every day, and with good reason. Andy grew up fishing the waters that he now charters on, and has been a licensed Captain for a couple of decades. Putting customers on big limits of fish is also something that Andy and his crew deliver. Whether it’s king salmon, coho salmon, lake trout or steelhead, Andy knows the underwater topography so well; he knows just where to go to find productive waters.
Andy also has another trick up his sleeve that many people haven’t caught on to yet. At Sport Fish Michigan, we know the secret, and we want the word to get out! Andy has a productive technique for vertical jigging lake trout on Lake Michigan as well as the inland lakes surrounding Frankfort. A technique that produces limit catches almost every time out is sure to get anybody excited.
When the need arises to fish the productive salmon, lake trout, and steelhead fishery surrounding the Manitou Islands, Grand Traverse Bays, and the port of Frankfort, Captain Andy is our go-to guy. His well-kept boat can comfortably fish 6, and fishing with Andy is always a fun trip.
