Anyways here's one for the list.
Skip Shuttle Service (989)348-1911. Ask for Skip. He does the Au Sauble River covering North Branch, South Branch, and the Upper Au Sable.
He has someone come with him so all you have to do is tell him the put in point and take out point and he takes care of the rest. Outstanding service.

An excellent thread and one that should remain sticky on this forum. I have personally used the services of John Jurik, Skip Shuttle Service, and Hamilton's and they are all very reliable. Have never let me down.

Anything but $32 for a spot on the Pine. We said no way to that and drove a mile down the road to Bosmans and they charged us 10 bucks...

Nothing more than $20. Anything more than that and we walk away and just try to find someone in a town.
