Crabby Charters - Trout & Salmon
Crabby Charters invites you down to Lake Michigan to discover the thrill of fishing for Trout and Salmon. Explore the Great Lakes with Captain Craig Best with 26 years of charter fishing experience on Lake Michigan on my boats or running other charter boats. We launch out of McKinley Marina in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Enjoy your day aboard the ‘Still Crabby’, a 34’ Sea Ray Sportfish boat. She comes powered by two 330 HP Mercruiser inboard engines that can cruise at a top speed of 30 knots. The Still Crabby is an open style boat and a flybridge to enjoy the day and view from the upper deck.
We lost the original Crabby a 35 Bertram we had for 22 years after we moved full-time to Florida to run deep sea fishing charters in the Gulf of Mexico to hurricane Ian. September, 28, 2022. R.I.P. CRABBY.
The "Still Crabby" is outfitted with everything you need for a productive day on the Lake. She has a spacious deck for fishing and plenty of seating space. There is a spacious shaded area to relax in and a flybridge to enjoy a birdseye view from between the bites, along with a private stand-up bathroom.
Crabby Charters runs two trips a day, 7 days a week. The season begins May and goes through September. During the summer months, you will be able to get your hands on Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Steelhead, Brown Trout, and Lake Trout.
We offer early morning and mid day trips in with everything you need for freshwater trolling. You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and a fish cleaning service at the end of the trip. We also like to let our guests participate more in the trip by grabbing the poles when we get a bite and netting if you would find that more fun.
Bring your children, family, and fishing buddies. We like to let our guests get involved with netting and grabbing poles out of the rod holders themselves. As long as you have a desire to catch fish and have fun doing it, rest assured you will make a great catch possible.

Perfect day. Captain Craig is the best. The only negative is how sore our forearms are from reeling in some mny big Steelhead and King Salmon! Definitey will run the trip back in the future.
We had an awesome day! caught nice fish and put a checkmark on my bucket list! Captain Craig is a great guy! gave good instruction and got us on some fish! Hope to do it again sometime!
After a short instruction by the very knowledgeable and courteous captain we missed a few fish, then we started to catch them, King Salmon and a Coho Salmon. we easily ended up with about 100lbs of fish. Captain had a great friendly personality. Patient with novice fisherman. What definitely book with Crabby Charters again.
My wife, son, and I went out with captain Craig. It was a great trip. We caught six big fish (3) kings, (2) browns (1) steelhead. We brought in 10 total fish and had 3 of 4 more on. I would highly recommend Crabby Charters for your next fishing trip - Thanks captain Craig for a great time.
We tried to go day before but was cancelled cuz 5-7 foot waves. On a whim decided to try next day and we were able to go out with Capt Steve and his boat crabby charters. We used the whole 5hr trip but bagged our limit. Capt was super friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone in party had a blast. Will do again.
Glad we were able to get out. it was a pleasure having you aboard! thanks my
