Meet the Charter Operator

Wet N Wild Outfitters
Richmond, Illinois, United States
ID & license verified
Member since September 2020
With over 17 years of experience in fishing the waters around the far northwest suburbs of Chicago and southeast Wisconsin, Captain Trevor James took it upon himself to pursue a career in the fishing industry. While he does own and operate a kayak and canoe shop Memorial through Labor day, his staff of professional anglers assists in taming over 300 clients per season. Having been featured in an airboat magazine, submitting fishing reports for local news outlets, and being voted to the top 7 canoe and kayak tours in Chicago are just a few of Wet n Wilds' highlights for 2020. In addition, the staff also worked together to come up with COVID-19 remedies and officially opened the Waukesha County shop so the clients that are unable to leave their state can still get on the water for a fun-filled day with friends, family, or work.
