    Great time!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 22, 2026 • 6 adults

    Had a great time fishing with Ryan and Brady on Hot Pursuit! They were awesome to work with and put us on salmon all trip. They gave us a heads-up about the forecasted high winds and big waves for our original date and were able to get us out the evening before—even though it was Father’s Day—which we really appreciated. The boat was comfortable, the equipment was great, and it was impressive watching them manage 12 lines for six hours without getting tangled. They kept switching up baits and adjusting depths until we found the fish. We ended up with 10 fish—a mix of kings and rainbows—and lost another 5 or 6. There are a lot of charter options out there, but I highly recommend Hot Pursuit. We’ll definitely be back!

    Got our limit!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Ryan was amazing! He's very knowledgeable and led us right to some big browns! I would totally recommend Hot pursuit Salmon and Trout Charters! This trip is good for all ages and for anyone who wants to catch a lot of fish! A group of four of us went out on his smaller boat because it was in late March and we could fish a little closer to shore where he knew Browns were going to be. He also has a larger boat that he takes groups out in later spring and summer. We hope to go back this summer and catch some kings, steelheads and cohos. Thank you Captain Ryan for giving my Father, myself, my son and his friend a really great experience.

    Awesome...Best Experience Ever

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    What a rush! We had such a blast! Captain Ryan is the best. We had a group of 4; myself, my son and my 13 year old grandson along with his 13 year old friend. Captain Ryan had patience and explained all the ins and outs of landing the fish. This education for the boys is priceless. We ended up catching 20 fish total! Thank you Captain Ryan for all your hard work. We will definitely book again.

    Dad and son fishing trip. Fun time

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ryan was great. He worked really hard to get us on some fish and boy did it pay off. My son caught a trophy lake trout. It was 24.5 lb. It was 38 inches long with a 21 in. gerth. What a fish. We also caught some nice king samons. We had some much fun we booked another trip this week again. So if your going to book a charter I would definitely recommend this one. Thanks Ryan.

    Go Fish with Captain Ryan

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Caught our limit and had fun doing it! Coho, Kings, and Rainbows. Captian Ryan and the Hot Pursuit 2 were a great choice. Knowledgeable, always focused on catching fish. Brendan helped us learn about the area while helping us keeping our lines tight. We will be coming back soon... Highly recommend The Hot Pursuit 2 if you want to catch your limit.

    First Class Charter!

    8 Hour half day trip (PM) on June 13, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great experience with Captain Ryan and First Mate Brennan. Very responsive to messages, transparent about how the bite had been, knowledgeable on patterns and fun people to fish with. Even though the bite had been slow for everyone in recent days, they got us on some great fish and we will definitely be back!

    Best charter in Sheboygan

    6 Hour Trip (PM) on September 12, 2026 • 3 adults

    Booked a 6 hr charter. This is late season but this captain was not about to let us go without getting fish. He went above and beyond to find the fish and what baits they wanted. What should have been a skunked trip turned into 10 fish. By far the best charter in Sheboygan will be back again. Thanks Ryan

Fishing with Ryan
6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 15, 2026 • 6 adults

We went out with Hot Pursuit for a salmon and trout charter, and it was an outstanding experience. Captain Ryan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. His first mate was excellent as well—helpful, professional, and always on top of everything. The action started almost immediately—we had a fish hooked before all the rods were even set out! The crew knew exactly where to put us. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and all of the tackle and rods were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Hot Pursuit to anyone looking for a fun, successful fishing charter. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book with them again!

5 Hour Trip (PM) on August 7, 2026 • 6 adults

This was our very first fishing charter. It was a beautiful day, but unfortunately the wind on the lake was creating water that would have made it difficult to fish. Multiple charters were cancelling trips, and while we understood the situation is was very disappointing, especially as we really couldn't reschedule. Thankfully Captain Ryan stuck with us and waited to see if conditions would improve. Fortunately they did, and although we missed part of our scheduled time, he did get us out during the best part of the evening. He also worked super hard to ensure that we were successful even with the lingering conditions that were wanting to tangle our lines. But it all paid off! In the time we were able to fish we got slammed! It was absolutely thrilling to have more fish on than we could even pull in at one time! Multiple of those fish were really nice, giving our family the best fishing experience of our lives. Thank you Captain Ryan for everything! We highly recommend him and his boat (which is awesome)! We are definitely wanting to come back and do this again!
