Lake Michigan offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the world, so join Twenty Four VII Charters to check it out! Captain Frank Grider has spent over half of his life fishing on these waters, and his team will show you everything you need to know for a successful day.

You'll head out on a large 40' Pacemaker Sportfisherman boat, powered by twin 385 HP Crusader engines. It can accommodate up to 6 anglers. Being 15' wide, it offers a comfortable and spacious cabin with seating for everyone, plus a big back deck that is never too crowded. The boat also has a bathroom on board for your convenience.

The crew will provide you with all the fishing equipment you'll need – rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Note that you'll have to buy Wisconsin fishing licenses on board at $14 per person. If you want to take some of the catch home, the captain will be happy to clean and fillet the fish, so you can take it straight to the table.

There are morning and afternoon trips, with start times varying depending on the month and target species. You will have the opportunity to go after species like Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Rainbow, Lake, and Brown Trout. The captain will suggest the best starting times, and adjust them to work with any group's trip.

Give the Twenty Four VII crew the chance to show you a good time and he will keep you coming back year after year! They operate out of Kenosha, Wisconsin at Simmons Island Marina, as well as from Winthrop Harbor, Illinois at Northpoint Marina.

Join Twenty Four VII Charters and explore Lake Michigan for an exciting fishing adventure!

Thank you, Captain Frank!
Full Day Trip on June 14, 20256 adults

We booked a day trip for five adults. Four of us have no deep water fishing experience. Captain Frank messaged us the day before the trip and suggested that we leave earlier because the fishing was great before dawn. We took his advice are are so glad we did! We were pulling in one fish after another and quickly hit our limit for the day! Then Captain Frank fileted the fish right there for us. Great time on the water. 100% recommend.

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon

Recommend Captain Frank
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 20246 adults

Captain Frank was very organized. He had over 15 rods and lures set up and as the fish were taking certain lures, he quickly changed out the rod/lure combinations that were not working. He trolled 6 lines at once covering a wide area. He was very knowledgeable about fish, fishing and the surrounding area, having been a charter captain for 29 years! The boat is fantastic, big and wide, lots of covered space and on-board toilet. Although we had 4-6 ft waves, we never were concerned the boat couldn’t handle it, especially with Captain Frank at the helm. We fished as if it was a calm day. Have fun on a trip with Captain Frank!

Great boat captain!!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 29, 20242 adults2 children

I highly recommend booking with captain Frank. He is very personable and hard working. We had a great day of fishing on his boat. The equipment is top notch and he will work hard to get you on the fish. He managed to get us fish even though the conditions were suboptimal. He hustled and did not stop trying to get us hooked up, right up till the last minute. Book your trip with this captain. You won't be disappointed. FH.
