The roster

Member boats and crews — Lake Michigan salmon charters out of Muskegon, Whitehall and Grand Haven.

Crews and catches

King salmon and lake trout come over the rail of member boats through the season — the fish behind the Battle for the Strap, and the reason most people call a captain in the first place.
