For over 20 years Cam Garst has captained Great Lakes fishing charters. He has not only developed a unique sense of how to find the trophy fish, he has also honed the ability to make the charter fishing experience memorable no matter what the fishing conditions are like. His experience with the sometimes tricky Lake Michigan waters creates a safe and exciting fishing adventure. Captain Garst started Showtime Charters in 1982 with a 27' Chris Craft boat. A year later he quit his job in newspaper management to turn his fishing passion into his full-time occupation. Since then Cam has directed the growth of his company to become Traverse City's most successful charter boat operation. You'll see him at the helm of his 31' Tiara fishing craft. His long list of repeat clients is a testament to the adventures experienced at the hands of Captain Garst. "Every trip is fun and exciting," says Garst. "The clients are different, the weather changes and the catch varies. I get to watch an eight-year old land his first ever fish, then get excited as older couples just enjoy the pleasure of fishing this magnificent Great Lake. It's a thrill I'll never take for granted," Garst adds.		There is only one thing Captain Sam Worden is more passionate about than boating on the Lake Michigan waters of Grand Traverse Bay—that’s fishing. Captain Worden brings youthful enthusiasm to his job with Showtime Charters. Sam has played and worked in the northern Michigan waters all his life. After working as a first mate for nine years, Captain Worden passed all the Coast Guard requirements to earn his Great Lakes Captaincy. Captain Worden now uses his knowledge and experience of Grand Traverse Bay to pilot his 26’ Triton boat to the vibrant fishing holes that only those born and raised near these waters know how to experience. His cruise is known as “Sam’s Catch and Eat” because those sharing their adventure with Captain Sam will have a chance not only to catch remarkable sport fish in the crystal clear waters, but will be able to take their prize to Apache Trout Grill. There the chefs with turn the catch into another fantastic adventure that can only be experienced with fish so fresh that minutes ago it was swimming in West Grand Traverse Bay. The prize of the fishing adventure then becomes a culinary adventure.
