Skyward Salmon Charters
Visit Skyward Salmon Charters and have a beautiful day on Lake Michigan. Starting out of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Captain Matt Wagemann will take you to the best spots on the lake and help you have a great time as you search its fish-rich grounds. Join in and spend a lovely day in nature fishing renowned Lake Michigan!
Your boat for the day is a 31’ Pacemaker flybridge that can sit up to 6 guests. It runs on a twin 350 HP Chevrolet engine, is rigged with comprehensive navigation technology, and uses downriggers. The boat’s got a flybridge and toilet, and, to make the service even better, you’ll have the help of a first mate as well as access to a refrigerator.
Fishing Lake Michigan offers you plenty of opportunity for landing a good catch. You’ll target various sorts of Salmon and Trout and will attract them by trolling on heavy tackle. You get to keep and take home all the fish you catch and you’re also free to bring along children on your trip.
Captain Matt will take care of all the fishing gear needed for the trip, including all the rods, reels, tackle as well as lures. In addition, he can clean, fillet, and bag your catch if you want, free of charge. You’ll just need your licenses as well as some food and drinks.
Join Skyward Salmon Charters and the captain for a wonderful day on Lake Michigan and have fun fishing!

Great time with Skyward Salmon Charter!
5 Hour Afternoon on May 19, 2024
We had a great time with Captain Matt and his mate Nate! We are a family of six and Matt and Nate took care of us! They showed us a beautiful afternoon on Lake Michigan catching a ton of coho salmon! They were kind, attentive, knowledgeable, had great gear and ton of lines going for us! If you're looking for a fun time, book with Skyward! We look forward to going again!

6 hour morning fishing charter
3/4 Day Trip on July 15, 2023
Captain and crew were so much fun! Our group had a great time despite some of us getting a little seasick. We caught 1 king salmon, 3 lake trout and a steelhead. Captain Matt was so communicative from the moment we booked. He even offered getting an earlier start for better chances. He and his first mate seem very knowledgeable and were able to help us get out 6 gosh despite a pretty slow day in general for boats in the area. He even sent us a recipe to try for the lake trout that we took home. We will definitely book with Skyward Salmon again in the future. Such a fun day out on the water!

Two 1/2 day fishing trips with Matt & Brooke
3/4 Day Trip on June 4, 2022
This was a father sons fishing trip. What a great time we had. Matt and Brooke definitely know how to catch fish! We limited out first day in 4 hrs. Both or them are very friendly and accommodating. They strive for you to have a safe, comfortable and a enjoyable time whether fishing is good or not. We really had fun while fishing with them. My one son said. "If we fished with Matt & Brooke another day, we would be close friends!" I said "we are already!" Thank You, Matt & Brooke for such an awesome fishing experience. You will be seeing us again soon!

Best captain & crew on Lake Michigan
5 Hour Trip on June 24, 2023
I have been on several fishing trips in Lake Michigan, Waukegan and Kenosha areas over the past 15 years, Capt. Matt is the best so far. He was very friendly and kept trying several options and areas to reach the the max. limit. We got close!!

Bachelor Party 2022
6 Hour Afternoon on June 11, 2022
Had a great time! When the fish weren't bitting they captain and his 1st mate kept us entertained. Bringing in these big boys was a blast but we probably had more fun making fun of our buddy who lost a couple lol. I will be booking this charter again and highly recommend giving them a shot, you won't be disappointed.
