Diamond Ghost Charters Salmon Fishing TESTIMONIALS
Charter
Date September
Captain Tony,
I want to thank you for another awesome fishing trip. This is our 13th
year in a row that we’ve gone out
with you and its always one of the highlights of our year. This year
was our most successful as far as catching fish,
we caught our limit and 15 out of the 20 were big. I’ve always said
that catching fish was just the icing on the cake,
being out on the water with my friends on a sunny day with someone we
like and trust makes it all worthwhile.
We’re already looking forward to next year.
Thanks, Mike

Charter
Date August 29th & 30th
My husband Greg and I had the opportunity to fish with Capt. Tony on Diamond Ghost Charters
on Aug. 29 and 30th. We lucked out both days. The first day we caught 7 fish 3 short of
our limit. On the 2nd day we limited out with my final fish a salmon weighing in at 16#.
We had a great time and Tony worked constantly changing rigs and depths as they started
hitting. We have been charter deep sea fishing on a number of occasions in NJ, Fla., RI,
and Maine and as much as we enjoyed those trips there was no comparison to the great time
we had with Tony. We'll definately be back. Thanks for the great time!

Capt. Tony and the Diamond Ghost.
My son and I plan to return and bring friends.
Thank you Capt. Tony.

Charter Date July 18th
On July 18th, 2011, my 11-year old son,
Michael, and I went on a five-hour Diamond Ghost Charter
with Captain Tony and had a great time! My son loves to fish and for
his birthday, we booked him this trip.
We left at 4AM and were catching salmon a short time later. While we
caught King Salmon and trout,
Michael was most proud of a very large trout that he caught.
Captain Tony filleted the fish and we cooked
some of it
Monday night on the grill at home. It was delicious! The rest is in the
freezer.
We had a great time. Captain Tony really knows his fishing. The boat
was very nice and he was a good captain.
We would definitely do it again! Thank you Captain Tony!
Dave Pidgeon
Capt. Tony, thanks for a great
day of fishing. Michael couldn’t be prouder of his catch,
showing everyone. Appreciate
all your time and all your effort. It was a good fishing day!
Take care, Dave & Michael
Hello Tony,
I wanted to tell you that Dave and Michael had a great
time...our son will
long remember his giant trout. And, I grilled some of the salmon
last night
and it was so delicious!! I haven't had fish that fresh since my
father
would go fishing years and years ago. Thank you.

Tony,
Just wanted to tell you again how much fun the Salmon fishing
trip was!
Plenty of nonstop action and hitting our limit (and the 7 that fell
off) plus
beautiful weather, couldn’t ask for anything better! Once again
your knowledge
and professionalism came thru as usual as it has been for 10
years, wouldn’t use anyone else…
See you again in a month with the guys
Best regards,

Charter
Date June 22nd
On June 22nd five of us went fishing at 4 a.m. The night before a
terrible storm came through the northern suburbs,
over half a million people were with out power. Even though the
storm was past, Lake Michigan still had four to
five foot waves, no problem for the well maintaind "Diamond Ghost". The
bait fish and salmon were scattered by
the storms. Capt Tony was not sure if he would be able to find
the schools. He kept changing lures, depth, trolling
speed and direction. He is the hardest working charter boat
captain I've ever fished with. Honestly he never sat down
or stopped to eat anything. We ended up with twelve nice coho's
and all of us had a great time.
I recommended Capt Tony to a friend and he choose to go with a captain
out of Waukegan, IL instead.
They got skunked. My friend told me their captain put out eight
rods and then just sat on his butt for five
hours driving the boat. They didn't get any money refunded for
catching zero fish. He said next time he'll
take my advise and book Capt Tony.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Ferg

Capt Tony
Thanks again for a wonderful
experience on the water last week. It was a great adventure
and I truly appreciate your expertise, the great equipment and your
camaraderie. You have
an extremely deep passion and knowledge of fishing Lake Michigan which
make the experience
fun and action-packed. We tend to limit out on every trip, but
you exceeded my expectations last
week when our group had our limit in the boat by 8:30am. I look
forward to another adventure this
summer/fall. And I will be sure to recommend you and your great
service to all of my friends and family.
Thanks and best of luck this
season.

Captain Tony,
The 5 of us want to thank you for the great outing we had with you
last Monday morning.
This time we limited out with 25 salmon in 4 hours with 9 lost. Marty
and I have fished
with you for about 15 years and the other 3 guys for the last 3 years.
As always you are a
pleasure to deal with. We appreciate your hard work and efforts to
getting us our limits.
You also keep it lively with some well place jokes. We know you
also enjoy the interaction
with us guys especially the back and forth bantering between Marty and
myself. Many years
back prior to finding you I went out with 2 other boats that had
a captain and mate and they
got nowhere the production that you get. You truly work hard and earn
your money.
Continue having a successful season and we will see you again next year.
Bob, David,Marty, Phil, Steve

Charter Date 23rd August 2010
Captain Tony,
Thanks for yet another great day of fishing on Lake Michigan. My
fishing buddy and I really enjoyed the day, and even though we were
really bushed from pulling in the limit (again), we went home tired
but happy. Seven years in a row you found us the biggest fish in the
lake !!!! The salmon put up a good fight and taste even better,
because we have the story to go with the meal.The trout are delicious
fresh caught and the whitefish was a real surprise this year.
Our California friends can't stop talking about the trip we treated them to,
and they have fished the Pacific.
Thanks again and see you next season !!!

Letter May 1st 2007
Dear Captain Tony
This letter is to thank you for a wonderful fishing trip in August.
My father and I decied to go on the recommendation of a friend who also gave
you a wonderful review. Evan so, we weren't sure what to expect. I have to
say that it went well above and beyond anything we expected. In six hours we
caught twelve fish totaling more than 120 pounds: Many people think that these
charters are expensive, but in reality the amount of fish that we caught would've
cost at least that much if we had bought it at a grocery store.
Needless to say, we scheduled another trip as soon as we stepped off of the boat.
Your equipment and boat were top notch, you were professional, and your experience
made the trip that much more enjoyable.
Thanks again for a wonderful trip and my father and I will see you again in August.
Sincerely,
Max Nelson

We have been coming down from MInneapolis for the last 4 years and enjoy
each year we fish with Captain Tony. 2006 was a great year for us. We brought
in 17 fish each day that we were out and the adrenilie kept flowing. Looking
forward to our trip this year and we try to bring new people each year.
Thanks

Dear Captain Tony,
Our return trip with you on the Diamond Ghost was as expected
--a great time doing some great fishing. Tom told me that
not all captains go out of their way like you do to find the
fish and change lures to what's working to catch the fish.
Like last summer, you went beyond the 110% and gave us all a bomb
of a fishing experience. Thanks so much for all you did,
jackie

Hey Tony;
Just a note to thank you once again for
a fantastic day out on the "Big Pond".
As always, you have demonstrated your
commitment to making sure that your
customers have a great and memorable
trip. Not only were we able to
catch
some nice "Kings", but I had
another chance to enjoy your company, and learn
more about many
different techniques that you use, to put us on fish. I've had
nothing but great days, since
first going with
you on my
yearly fishing trip some
5 years ago. I look
forward to the next one,
and until then, "Keep them reels
screaming"!

Capt. Tony,
Thanks for the best fishing trip this year!!!!!!!!!
You are in a class by itself among charter captains.
You even took care of the 8 year girl cheering her on
with that big one. You put us on fish after fish after
fish.The count I believe was 23 for 44. Never seen that
much action in the 7 years of going with Diamond Ghost.
You always produce fish with your 7 day a week service.
Thanks

The fishing trip on the Diamond Ghost
today was THE BOMB-
-thanks for making every part of the
experience a total pleasure.
I asked Tom how he "picked" you for
our group's chartered fishing
trip he had asked around at the
shows and heard nothing but good
things about you, your experience,
boat and equipment. You did
give 110% and then some. We're
looking forward to more fishing
on the Diamond Ghost.

Hi Captain
Tony. I just wanted to thank you again for
a great time on Tuesday. When we ate our lunch behind the yacht
club I
got excellent feedback from everyone. It was pretty wild that you
grew up
on the same street as Dominic. We all loved your old neighborhood
stories. Especially about the sealed garbage cans.
Hopefully we can
make this an annual outing from work.
Thanks again. Norm
