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.
