Make an adventure out of your next trip to Sheboygan and go fishing with Playin'Hooky Sportfishing Charters. Captain Dave is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and occasionally Pink Salmon – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On these trips, you can expect to troll.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, and there are class 1 life vests on board. Feel free to bring your own if you like instead! And, you can't go wrong with snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be welcome aboard a 36' Chris-Craft with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 15–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. There are all licenses and stamps necessary and available for purchase aboard the boat for your convenience.

Don't leave home without bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Make sure to bring a cooler along to bring home your catch!

Now, it's time to hit the water with Playin' Hooky Sportfishing Charters!

Nice haul of rainbow trout
Evening Mini Charter on July 11, 20261 adult2 children

Dad and twin 13-year-old boys took the Gilligan tour (three hours) and went four-for-four, landing four beautiful rainbow trout, about 8-10 pounds on average. Captain Mitch and First Mate Tom were very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Fish cleaned, filleted and frozen at The Wharf where we’ll pick it up for the trip home. The evening clientele at Parker John’s were in awe as we hauled our catch off the Sea Dog 2! Highly recommend.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Response from Captain

My best Lake Michigan fishing trip ever.
Half Day Trip (Midday) on July 5, 20264 adults

We caught 15 rainbows, one coho and one king. 10am 3pm fish time. Captain Mitch put us on the fish within the first hour and it was action packed for the rest of the day. First Mate Jake was working netting all the fish and setting us up for the next one. Great fishing and lots of fun with a great crew. thanks again to Captain Mitch and First Mate Jake !!!!
