Milwaukee's Lake Michigan waters offer world class fishing for several highly sought gamefish species. Let Hold'em Sportfishing help you experience this awesome fishery!
Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Pink Salmon, and anything else that bites.
Capt. Greg, a native to the area, has over 45 years experience fishing the Wisconsin Ports of Lake Michigan. We cater to all age groups and skill levels - but especially families with young children, and first time Lake Michigan anglers. No previous experience is necessary! We offer a relaxed and fun atmosphere, with our crew being patient and supportive while teaching how to fight and land these impressive fish. Fishing is a FUN experience, and we strive to keep it FUN and relaxed for everyone on board.
You'll be setting lines from a 32' Sportfish Convertible with capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, live sonar and charting, top of the line trolling equipment, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a flush toilet on board for your convenience. Our boat offers a fully enclosed salon with a comfortable seating area for 5. Our guests can come inside, out of the elements to enjoy a snack, or socialize with the Captain - while waiting for their turn to fight the next fish!
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Feel free to bring drinks and food. And an additional cooler with space for ice and your fish filets.

We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Greg and his first mate, Shane. From the time we got on the boat until we headed back to the marina, they made sure everyone in our family had a great time. They were especially good with our three teenagers, answered all of our questions, and took the time to explain what they were doing throughout the trip. The boat was very comfortable, the weather was perfect, and Greg was just a great guy to spend the morning with. He was easy to talk to, shared a lot of knowledge, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Shane was just as friendly and worked hard all morning to keep us on fish and make sure everyone was having fun. The fishing was excellent. We caught several steelhead, including a 30-inch, 10.5-pound fish that Greg said was only a couple pounds away from being tournament caliber. With the weather being so nice and a little extra time available, Greg took us to one more fishing spot before heading back to the marina. We really appreciated him making the most of the great conditions. If you're looking for a charter with great people who genuinely care about giving you a memorable experience, we highly recommend Captain Greg and Shane. We had an amazing day and are already looking forward to fishing with them again the next time we're in Milwaukee.
First off, Greg and Cathy were first rate. Great personalities, great conversation, and very knowledgeable and experienced. We were booked the day prior and thunderstorms and rain were predicted all day and they communicated with us and were able to offer us the next day which we took. It was a sunny, beautiful, flat water day- simply gorgeous. We opted for the afternoon trip fully knowing that the early morning bite is usually better, but we did well enough with eight boated and several hookups that we lost. Had 3 on at the same time once. Highly recommend these guys!
Captain Greg and First Mate Kathy did an awsome job! Both of them were experienced and knowledgeable, not only where to put us on fish but also the history of fishing in Lake Michigan. They worked hard from beginning to end to give us the best experience possible. We ended up with 3 King Salmon, 3 Rainbow Trout, and 6 Coho Salmon. I’ve done a number of charters around the country and this was the best experience overall. I will definitely use the again when we travel back to the area. Thanks for a great experience Captain Greg and Kathy.
We had a family trip planned for the charter with quite a span of ages and experiences- the youngest being almost 3 years old. Greg and Kathy were absolutely amazing and their boat perfectly accommodated us including an interior area (especially for the little one), a bathroom, and an overall sense of safety and comfort. They made us feel at home right away on the boat- it quickly felt like we were just fishing with friends! Greg and Kathy were great with communication and answering all of our (many) questions. We had so much fun and caught some amazing fish which will never be forgotten. Overall, I can't imagine a better charter for our family and we would gladly be back on their boat anytime.
Our fishing charter trip was absolutely fantastic. Thank you to Captain Greg and his First Mate. They were very friendly, professional, and made everyone feel right at home on their fishing vessel. Communication was spot-on, keeping us completely informed throughout the entire experience. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, sharing tips and stories that made the trip even more enjoyable. We caught 10 fish on our charter. Bringing in mostly king salmon (Chinook) and 1 Lake Trout. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a fun fishing adventure.
