Jack’s Charter Service - Racine 36'

Jack’s Charter Service invites you to join Captain Ken Poludnianyk for an unforgettable fishing experience on Lake Michigan. With a captain who’s got more than 35 years of experience and probably the best freshwater fishing location in Wisconsin, it’s hard not to get excited.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 36’ Tiara yacht that’s equipped with a pair of 475 HP Crusader engines, allowing it to reach a top speed of 30 knots. No wonder she’s named The Leader! She boasts a full array of Raymarine electronics and an air-conditioned cabin, as well as tournament-grade fishing gear,

Captain Ken will take you to some of the best spots for fishing Trout and Salmon out on Lake Michigan. He will work with you to ensure you get the most out of a trip and that it’s tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re a novice angler or someone with plenty of experience, you’ll be welcome aboard The Leader.

The price of any trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need. Captain Ken provides free cleaning and filleting for anything you’d like to take back home with you. Don’t forget to bring a valid fishing license, some drinks, snacks, as well as seasickness tablets just to be on the safe side.

I have been a tournament angler on Lake Michigan for over 35 years and a captain for over 20 years. It is exciting to show guests the fast-paced action of Lake Michigan Charter Fishing. We have been fishing the waters off Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin since the early 70s. It is always my goal to provide a safe, fun, enjoyable and of course a successful day on the water.
