Embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure in Sheboygan! Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, we strive every hour of your trip to put as many fish in the boat as possible. We constantly switch out baits and adjust depths to ensure the best action on the water.

These waters are teeming with Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more. Using expert techniques like trolling and bottom fishing, you’ll have everything needed to land a trophy catch.

Why Choose Us?
Book a trip for the ultimate experience and memories to last a lifetime!
Check other charters—then book with us.
Here’s why…
- More fishing time! Our 6-hour trip costs less than many 5-hour trips. We fish the full time you pay for—while others are back at the dock, we’re still reeling them in!
- No extra charges for up to 6 people—many charters charge more.
- Free fish cleaning! We’ll cart your catch to the cleaning station, clean, and bag it at no extra cost.

- Family & kid friendly.

Step aboard a spacious 32’ motor yacht, equipped with outriggers, downriggers, and top-quality gear. A toilet on board ensures comfort, and a First Mate will assist (a 10–20% tip is customary).

Don’t forget to purchase a local fishing license before your trip. Bring sunglasses, non spray sunscreen, and whatever food and beverages you enjoy.
(Preferably no hard liquor and glass bottles).

So don’t overpay the next time you’re looking to book.
Maximize your catch & your experience with Hot Pursuit Salmon & Trout Charters!

5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 30, 2025

Me and my buddy had an absolute Blast..!!! The boat was super fast.. and had all the latest downriggers..and tech equipment..and state of the art Sonor.. I was super impress with how well the boat was equipped..Even though you’ve got all of the latest equipment you have to still have a super knowledgeable Captain..that knows what he is doing.. and let me tell you.. Ryan definitely fits the bill..!!! We did a 4pm to 9pm (cause Ryan said the Kings were biting more around sunset..) During first 3 hours.. we only caught a tiny trout.. so Ryan and his first mate. We’re constantly changing out different “flashers” (colorful spoons on the end of the lines.. to attract the fish.) and changing the depths of the down riggers..and setting and re-setting up poles..You could tell that Ryan and his mate.. were NOT going to give up..finally the sun was finally going down.. and we switched out to the “glow in the dark”flashers.. and headed to shallower water..and just like Ryan had hoped.. THE KINGS..WERE THERE…!!! You could see them clearly on the big sonar screen.. after about 10 minutes trolling thru with the glow flashers..BAM!. we got our first hit.. and then another.. BAM! ..and another..BAM..!! we had 3 Kings on at…one time!!! our excitement was through the roof..!!!! You could tell that Ryan was super excited for us.. that we got the chance to reel in a couple of really nice Kings.. Thanks to Ryan’s knowledge, skill, and tenacity we actually were able to catch.. 6 really nice fish.. literally in the last 30 minutes.. of our trip.. Thanks Ryan.. for wanting us to catch some , nice Kings.. so badly..and thanks for never giving up..!!! I can tell, that you really love what you do..!! I would definitely be chartering with you.. again.. In the future..!! Thanks Ryan..!! 🙏

5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 21, 2025

We had an awesome time with Captain Ryan and First Mate Brody! Even with rough conditions, they got us on fish, made the trip a good experience and kept our safety the highest priority. They were especially great with our young boys—it was their first charter, and they haven’t stopped talking about how it was the best day ever. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a great fishing trip!

Half Day Trip with Captain Ryan

5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 18, 2025

Despite the rainy weather, our experience with Captain Ryan was wonderful. Ryan took time to explain and teach my grandson and his friend how to catch fish on Lake Michigan. It took both boys to reel in their first big fish. I highly recommend Captain Ryan and will be booking again in the future.

Always on fish

on April 30, 2025

Ryan and his crew know what they are doing. Ryan always stays in the know where fish are AND what presentations will catch them. He uses a wide variety of techniques to do this including using copper, wire, lead core, braid and mono spooled rods as well as implementing down riggers and dipsy divers to get to where the fish are. His rods and lures are all first rate also. I learned a lot going on his boat even after fishing on my own for many years.
