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 25 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 with plenty of room below and tuition to enjoy the day and view from the upper deck flybridge.

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.

All trips come 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. As long as you have a desire to catch fish and have fun doing it, rest assured you will make a great catch possible.
