Benzie Fishing Service

My boat is docked at Potters Landing, 8249 River Rd. Manistee Mi. 49660. It is located between Rainbow Bend and Bear Creek public access sites, on the Manistee River. There is free private, secure parking for my guests.

My all day trips begin around daybreak to assure we are at the spot when the bite begins! Don't be late!

You will need to dress for the weather as we go under almost any conditions.There is plenty of room for an extra jacket or raincoat.

You will need to bring your lunch, snacks and drinks. We usually eat in the boat between fishing spots to maximize fishing time. This is a wilderness setting, but there are rustic outhouses at the public access sites.

You will need an all species fishing license or a daily permit. There is a link on this page to the MI. DNR for an e license.

If you wish to keep some of your catch, I will clean and bag them for you at no additional cost.                                                                                                                          I can arrange for multiple boats for larger group trips.                                                                                               US Forest Service Special Use Permit #5163                                                                                                                 Fully insured
