Brownbear Sport Fishing Charters
If you’re looking for an exciting fishing experience on Lake Michigan, Brownbear Sport Fishing Charters is here to help you out! Join professional fishing guide Jeff Bajtka and explore the wonderful fishing opportunities this mighty lake has to offer. He’ll take you to all of his favorite spots and make sure to maximize your chances of reeling in big fish.
You’ll head out on his 30’ Cherokee commercial boat, with room for up to 6 anglers per trip. The boat is powered by twin 350 HP engines, making it a beast on the water. It’ll take you where you need to be in a matter of minutes. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience, as well as a refrigerator for anything you might need.
Lake Michigan is known for its majestic views, open waters, and abundant wildlife. There’s a variety of fish that inhabit these waters, but guide Jeff will take you out offshore where you’ll be trolling for Salmon. They get pretty big in these waters, so expect to have your hands full when battling these prized fish.
Jeff will have all the equipment ready for you when you board, including rods, reels, and terminal tackle. You’ll be fishing using a range of artificial lures provided on board, and the first mate will be there for anything you might need help with. Your catch will be cleaned and filleted upon your return, so you can take it home for a nice family dinner.
Children are welcome to join, so take them on a fishing trip that will leave them breathless and stay in their memory forever. All you need to bring is some food and drinks, so you can stay full of energy throughout the day. Note that you need to get a freshwater fishing license before the trip as well.
Come and enjoy a great day of fishing on Lake Michigan with Brownbear Sport Fishing Charters, making memories that will last a lifetime!

5 Hour Trip – June Special
Amazing trip
I have hired at least a dozen salmon charters, but this was by far the best experience I have had. Captain Jeff and his second were fantastic. From the time we got to the dock in the morning to the moment we got back, everything was outstanding. The communication before and after the trip was great. We caught plenty of fish, but even if we had not caught anything, I would recommend this trip.

Incredible Fish Charter
We had a great time on this experience for fathers day. The boat was the perfect size for our family of 5. The lake was beautiful and our captain was attentive and we caught some beautiful lake trout. All of our questions were answered in a very kind, thorough way and we had a ton of fun. Would definitely go again!

Half Day Trip with Captain Jeff
We took the half day morning trip with Captain Jeff. Jeff is so personable and knowledgeable of the waters/fish/area. It was a great time - we caught a few different kinds of fish; it was a slow day for bites - but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jeff works hard to get his patrons on fish and make it a good trip. We will definitely be back and booking with Jeff! I couldn’t recommend the experience enough.
