Lake Michigan is home to a range of exciting and delicious Salmon and Trout species, and Salmon Chasers will have you hot on the heels of ‘em all. Based out of Two Rivers, WI, you’ll explore the western shore and deep central waters as you seek to fill the boat.

Captain Mike Finke will give you everything you need for a productive day out. A passionate angler since childhood, he’s been fishing these waters since he can remember. A full-time guide on this lake for many years, he knows all the best fishing spots and techniques, and promises to do everything he can to put a smile on your face.

Along with an experienced captain, you’ll also have the support of a purpose-built boat. The 30’ Cruiser flybridge has space for up to 6 guests, and comes fitted with all the latest navigational and fishing gear. Head to the sweet spots with the aid of 3 fishfinders, 3 GPS units, and 2 VHF radios, as the trolling lines drag behind the boat from the downriggers to attract plenty of fish.

The boat also comes fully-equipped for your comfort. The cabin contains plenty of comfortable seating, a bunk, kitchen, and private bathroom. Bring your own drinks and snacks aboard and make yourself at home during your Great Lakes adventure.

Not only will you be targeting some exciting and delicious fish, but you’ll also have the added bonus of going after monster-sized creatures. King, Coho, and Pink Salmon grow to incredible sizes in these waters, while Rainbow, Lake, and Brown Trout aren’t exactly the smallest out there! Get ready for some rod-bending action to lift these beasts out of the water.

After an exhilarating day on the water, you’ll have a tasty treat to look forward to. Capt. Mike’s first mate will clean and fillet your catch for you, so there’s nothing for you to do! In fact, you can also get your licenses from the captain on board, so all you need to do is show up and enjoy the ride! Salmon Chasers promise a productive day out, so come aboard to fill the freezer!

I grew up fishing on a lake as a young kid and I've been Salmon fishing out of Two Rivers, WI, on Lake Michigan since age 5. I spent many years guiding and doing tournaments for Walleye and Bass in Minnesota before going full time on Lake Michigan. I love getting people out having a good time and giving them the chance to catch the fish of a lifetime.
