Salmon Chaser Charters does exactly what it says in the name. Based out of Kenosha, WI, you'll access Lake Michigan's rich waters in search of prized Coho and Chinook Salmon, along with plenty of Trout, too. These delicious creatures will make for excellent table fare at the end of your trip, so bring an appetite with you and you'll have the edge over the fish, no problem.

There's no one better to show you these waters than Captain Shane Lemke. A local to the area, he's been fishing Lake Michigan for over 25 years, running trips since 2012. He knows these waters like the back of his hand and just loves to share his passion with others. Beginners are welcome aboard to learn from the maestro, as he hopes to get you hooked.

The 33' Tiara offshore sportfishing boat is something to behold. Built in 1984, she's a classic vessel, still providing comfort and fun for groups of up to 6. Fitted with a multimedia system, kitchen, and full head toilet, you're in for a smooth ride offshore. Bring your own drinks and snacks aboard, and enjoy the journey. But please, make sure not to bring any glasses.

Head up to 20 miles into the deep waters of Lake Michigan and go after the prized fish. Your captain will set up the trolling lines to give you maximum chance of landing plenty of Salmon and Trout. As well as Coho and Chinook Salmon, you'll target Lake and Brown Trout, along with Steelheads, giving you the chance to catch some of the most sought-after freshwater game fish in the country.

At the end of your trip, Capt. Shane will clean and fillet your fish at no extra cost, so you'll be good to head home and cook your delicious catch right away. All you need to do is grab a fishing license and bring a cooler to take your catch away in. Everything else is taken care of with Salmon Chaser Charters. Come aboard and see why Lake Michigan is considered so 'great!'

Great trip
6 Hour Trip (PM) on August 17, 20254 adults

Captain Shane took us out at the last minute for an afternoon trip after our morning trip we had booked somewhere else got canceled. He really saved the day and we appreciated it so much! We caught plenty of trout and can’t wait to book our spring trip with him so we can catch some salmon.
