Experience matters
Capt. Eric Walline (Owner & Founder)
posseses over 45 years of Lake Michigan fishing experience.
He has been fishing the port of Frankfort as a professional salmon guide for decades, and he and his crew always work hard to make sure that you have a great time and catch fish.
In memory of Capt. Wayne
1951 - 2020
Our friend and colleague Capt. Wayne Smith fished with Gold Coast for 12 years. He loved to fish, and enjoyed a long career on the Great Lakes. He is missed, and his memory lives on with each fish we net and each great day spent out on the waters he loved.
32 Pound King Salmon
2020 was the year of big fish.
We caught several in the 25 to 32 pound range. Our biggest fish since 1978 were these 32 pounders caught in mid-August.
