Based out of Sheboygan, Bucket List Fishing Charters is your ticket to a day full of fishing in these rich waters, known to many as the "Malibu of the Midwest."

Capt. Art is happy to create an experience to fit your needs, so let him know what you're after! You're looking at 5 or 10-hour trips, where you'll be trolling for the likes of Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon, depending on the weather and time of year. According to the length of the trip, you'll be traveling nearshore, as shallow as 60 feet, or offshore, as deep as 450 feet.

You'll be fishing from a 37' Silverton boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any time. This classic vessel also includes an area to relax inside and clean restroom. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. Kids are welcome aboard.

Tackle is included in the trip price, so make sure to check with the captain what your options are before the trip. You can keep anything you catch as long as it's legal to do so. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Keep in mind that he/she only works for tips, which are always appreciated because even though we love what we do, it's still a full time job.

Book your trip now and hit the water on one of the biggest charter boats in the harbor,

Great fishing trip
5 Hour Trip on September 2, 20255 adults
We started catching fish 15 mins into the trip. Art and Lilly kept us on fish for the first 2 hours. Other charter captains were reporting no bite on this day . Captain Art done his homework before our trip and knew where to find fish for us. First mate Lilly was fishing wish beyond her years. She obviously grew up fishing lake Michigan. Very skilled and helpful. The bite slowed for a short time. Then we got into the fish again. We ended our trip boxing 8 nice fish, releasing 3 smaller fish and had 9 get off. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend Bucket List to fishermen of all skill levels. Thanks Art and Lilly for a great trip.
Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Cpt.Art and Krystal were AWESOME! Great day on the water, and LOTS of fish caught. They worked hard for us, and the results showed!
6 Hour Trip on June 25, 20256 adults
You won’t find a better fishing guide service than the “Bucket List” team out of Sheboygan,Wi! Art And Krystal worked hard as a team to provide a great fish filled adventure for my grandson Coltyn’s 17th birthday celebration!🎂 HIghly recommend to us from a past customer, and they did not disappoint. Since this Dynamic duo owns the business, you will not run risk of being out on a big business charter with potential subpar employees. And better prices besides! Awesome 37ft boat with comfortable cabin/bathroom and Couch! It handled the waves very well. Book with them, you will not be disappointed! We found a new annual adventure.

Highly recommend.
6 Hour Trip on August 4, 20254 adults
Art runs a first class fishing operation. We caught fish, the boat was clean, his first mate Lily was like a fishing machine managing all the gear and keeping lines in the water and baits in front of fish. They were patient with our many questions and we learned a ton. A wonderful family experience for me and my wife and two of our sons. We’ll be back. Thank you.
