Sam really likes his job!

Abdul gives his wife, Nesa, a hand with this fish. Or was he just giving her a hug?

J. Parrish (center) and friends from Florida and S. Carolina with a good catch on one of the foggiest days I've ever fished. It was thick as soup!

Billy Varos and his wife Stacey, from San Antonio, display 2 of their limit catch of Trout. This family, from Dad, Mom and the kids had the best technique with a fishing rod as I think I have seen. Great job guys!
7-24-09 email from Billy:
Cam,
I would like to personally thank you and Sam for a great trip. I like the way you and Sam not only showed us a great time, but took the time to educate us as well. I look forward to the next time.
Thanks, Billy

This young lady from, San Antonio, reeled this Trout in all by herself!

Sam, with Porter, from Traverse City. Nice Trout!

We had a special angler today all the way from Islamorada, FL. Glen Miller (left) owns Gonfishin Charters on the island. He shows us his first Great Lakes Lake Trout, on another spectacular Michigan day.

One lucky lake trout!

A picture perfect day on West Bay. Great fishing with a great crew.

The Arnold family with a just legal length lake trout. We had nine others that were over the slot limit. Yet again it was great battles for the young anglers. See ya next year Jeff!

This Beautiful steelhead hit a lake trout lure in over a 100ft of water. It was a great bonus that was battled to perfection by young Stefan. Great work buddy!

Our future young anglers are always a delight....
Here Lindsay anxiously awaits the next bite.

Great trout, Timmy! Thanks for all your help.

Dawson crew on a day where our weather was not the best. We were tough and still had fun! Here's Proof:

Hello Cam, just a quick "Thank You" for your professional hospitality this weekend. We had a great time despite the fall like weather. Then again, it could have been beautiful weather and we could not have caught anything. I prefer catching fish!

My Father , brother , and I do not get together too often do to our geographic locations. Your charter really brought us together for a wonderful weekend. We are already thinking about a Florida Charter or scheduling a Salmon trip for next year.

Scalawags was great, I forgot how little fish it takes to fill you up!I took the bait fish out before we arrived, the youngest nephew needs to toughen up a bit. I will work on that.

I will see you around the docks, I need to hear that prison joke! Also, if you think of it could you forward copy of that great photo Jill took of us. I'd like to get it framed for a nice gift.

It was nice to talk with you Cam, you run a top notch program. Take care and have a great season.

Jim Dawson

Cleaning crew!!!!

Hannah shows us her prize Lake Trout. She reeled it in all by herself, with great coaching from Captain Sam. Nice job!

Family day on the Showtime. See Cam's new puppy, Grady, asleep on the deck? It was his 1st charter!!

Frank works the rod while in the fighting chair. Great Grandson Will watches from the helm seat. This was a fun trip for Sam & me as this was a 4 generation group, the Johnsons from Montana and Michigan.

Brothers Christian and Blake (fighting fish) are all business with a fish at the end of the rod.

Cam's new puppy, Grady, is a real hit with the girls! Here the Cherry Festival queen (center) and the 4, 2009 hopefuls, find him irresistible. Gotta love the Cherry Festival!!

Limit catch on the Showtime, with the Schenk family from St. Louis, Mo.

Nice double Trout catch.

All smiles on a beautiful West Grand Traverse day.

TJ and Amy having some fun on the Showtime.

Here is Lexi catching another Lake Trout with help from her Dad, Doug. I think she pretty much caught the most and the biggest of the day. I also recall she drove the Showtime all the way back to the marina! Maybe next year she can put the boat in the slip for me!!!
