The 31-foot "Venture": Built for Performance and Comfort
Trident’s Venture is a purpose-built fishing platform: twin 454 HP Crusader engines, velvet transmissions and tuned props deliver speed and stability, while onboard amenities keep anglers comfortable during a six-hour push to the best marks.
Professional Electronics and Tackle
The boat is fitted with Raymarine radar and chirp sonar, Fishhawk X4D probes and Traxtech downriggers—equipment the crew uses to locate and present to Chinook, Coho, lake trout and other targeted species.
Trophy Salmon and Trout
Trips focus on hard-fighting species common to Lake Michigan waters—Chinook (King) and Coho salmon, lake trout, brown trout and steelhead—delivering the sort of action anglers book a charter to find.
