About Storm Hawk Sport Fishing
Storm Hawk Sport Fishing is a professional charter fishing service operating out of West Grand Traverse Bay, just five minutes from downtown Traverse City. Captain Brady Anderson runs the operation aboard a 27-foot Tiara — a stable, well-equipped sportfishing vessel built to handle the big water of Lake Michigan while keeping passengers comfortable. The charter targets Lake Trout, King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, and Brown Trout across the deep, clear waters that make Northern Michigan one of the Great Lakes' premier fishing destinations.
Storm Hawk offers half-day and full-day charters tailored to the season and species. Spring runs focus on Lake Trout and Brown Trout in the shallows as the water warms, while summer brings King Salmon and Steelhead into the trolling lanes offshore. Fall Coho and Chinook runs are among the most exciting on Lake Michigan, and Captain Anderson adjusts tackle, depth, and location daily based on water temperature and fish-finder readings. The boat is fully equipped with downriggers, planer boards, rods, reels, and all terminal tackle — guests just bring a Michigan fishing license and a cooler.
What distinguishes Storm Hawk is the captain's deep local knowledge and commitment to putting fish in the boat. Captain Anderson grew up fishing these waters and has built a reputation for consistently finding fish even on slow days. The smaller vessel means a more intimate experience than the large head boats — every guest gets hands-on time on the rod. With hundreds of five-star reviews across booking platforms, Storm Hawk is one of the highest-rated charter operations in the Traverse City area.
