Join Capts. Jim & Kim Musselman for a fun, safe and memorable fishing charter adventure aboard the Plumber's Helper on Lake Michigan.
We cater to individuals, families, wedding parties, and small group/corporate outings. Join Captains Jim and Kim Musselman aboard their Tiara 4300 Open sport fishing yacht (50 ft. overall) for a fun and memorable fishing trip on Lake Michigan. Young or old, experienced or novice, we offer a more fun, safe and comfortable experience out on the water than some of the smaller vessels. This is charter fishing at its best, with over 30 years' experience. "If you don't catch fish, you don't pay!"

All in the family! Capt. Jim's sister & BIL and nephew & great nephew joined us for a foggy morning charter this past week. Our son John, visiting from Maryland, came along as first mate, something he did many years ago. He's a chip off the old block and loves to fish like his dad. It's always wonderful having family on the boat! ❤️🎣

We took the kids out last week on our day off for an afternoon on the boat -- our son John and his family from Maryland and friends from Michigan. It was foggy a good part of the day, but it lifted and the sun came out shortly after we got on the water! We put a couple lines in the water and let the littles catch a fish. Fun times!
