Ken and first mate Joe were great. Worked hard to get us out to where the fish were and really wanted us to have a great experience and catch some big ones. Here's my advice. Even if you have never had motion sickness, TAKE THE DRAMAMIN! Take it the night before and the day you go. We fished on Lake Michigan at Milwaukee. It was maybe a little windier than normal, and the waves were really rough! Everyone in our party felt seasick.

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.
