Experience epic freshwater fishing on Lake Michigan’s productive western bank with Grizzly Charters! You’ll head out of Milwaukee, the fishing capital of Wisconsin, with Captain Tim Gould, a seasoned angler who’ll have you reeling Salmon and Trout in all day long.

Your vessel for the day is an 18’ Crestliner Commander aluminum fishing boating, perfect for 4 anglers who all want to fish at the same time. She’s fully equipped with the latest in FishFinder and GPS technology, including auto-pilot. You’ll zip to all the most productive spots thanks to her 115 HP Mercury engine.

Capt. Tim specializes in trolling, meaning you’ll be going after all the Salmon and Trout your heart desires. Alongside being fun to catch, Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Brown, Lake, and Steelhead Trout make a fantastic meal! At the end of the day, your catch is cleaned and filleted for easy transport home.

Everything you need for a productive day will already be on board when you arrive at the dock. All you’ll want to bring along is a cooler for your snacks and drinks. Lastly, don’t forget to grab a fishing license and a Great Lakes Trout and Salmon Stamp.

Strap in for some of the most exciting freshwater fishing around with Grizzly Charters! I can accommodate 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 through 15.
