Looking for a memorable experience fishing Salmon and Trout on beautiful Lake Michigan? Look no further because there's a fish with your name on it in Port Washington and Fishin Da Net will help you catch it! With Captain Dave at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and more can be found in these waters if you come at the right time of year. Capt. Dave and his first mate do all the hard work setting lines and locating the fish. You catch the fish and we clean them for you to take home to enjoy!
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Capt. Dave operates a 28' Sea Ray boat that holds up to 4 adult passengers. They can accommodate up to 6 passengers total if 2 or more are younger children. They have all the safety and fishing equipment, including rods, reels, lures, and electronics. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
There usually will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work for tips and it's customary to offer them about a 15-20% tip.
Before coming aboard, you will need a Wisconsin fishing license and Great Lakes Trout and Salmon stamp for everyone in your group 16 years of age or older. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are drinks, sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and appropriate clothing, such as sweatshirts and rain gear. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Laura Albert5.0VerifiedNewAmazing birthday trip!
5 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on October 4, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe scheduled to celebrate our son's 18th birthday. Capt. Dave and First mate Brad were amazing! They did a great job making my younger sons feel comfortable on the boat in slightly rough waters. Thiswas our family's first fishing trip since my father passed l, who was the one who always took us out on th Mississippi. Capt. Dave and Brad made us feel like we were fishing with family. We caught 10 king salmon and each kid was greatly satisfied with their catches. Definitely recommend, I actually already have! Thank you for an amazing trip, even with having to reschedule until the next morning due to large waves.
Andy Metten5.0VerifiedFantastic trip, great fishing
4 Hour Trip Weekday - 3:00 PM on July 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur family booked with Captain Dave after looking at many charters from Port Washington to Sheybogan. Captain Dave and First Mate Glen were great hosts and made our family feel welcomed. We had a 5&9 year old on born and Glen was excellent at keeping the kids engaged. Dave worked the whole trip to ensure lines had all the different lures needed for a good trip. Dave kept the lines in the water all the way to the end with 3 of our fish coming on the way back into the harbor. We ended up with 8 nice fish and we all had a great time. Would absolutely book with Dave again!
Regina ConwayRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother great day of fishing with Captain Dave!
5 Hour Trip on July 1, 2026 • 4 adultsThis was our second outing with Captain Dave. Our trip was originally planned for Monday, but small craft advisory prevented us going out. Dave reached out early Sunday evening to let us know and he so kindly rescheduled us to Wednesday morning. The trip was so educational, exciting for our 14 yr old grandson and friend not to mention Gma/Gpa. We can't wait to go again! Thanks Dave and Todd!!
Adam Peine5.0VerifiedNewmid-October trip worth it.
5 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on October 17, 2026 • 3 adultsThe captain (Dave) and his brother (Ben) worked the entire trip maintaining the lines. They put us on fish and we limited out. They did a nice job fileting the fish afterwards too. I would use them again for sure.
Brian Borchert5.0VerifiedGreat half day charter!
5 Hour Trip on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Dave and First Mate Brad were fantastic hosts for our half day charter. They had a great boat setup, clearly communicated what they needed from us to reel in big fish, and answered a lot of questions from my 10yo son. Overall, experience was one I would highly recommend and we walked away with 12 salmon and one nice brown trout neatly filleted for quite a bounty.

Thank for you the review, Laura. It was our pleasure taking your family fishing to help celebrate your son's birthday. What a great way to celebrate with a day on the water salmon fishing! I would love to have you back aboard Fishin Da Net. Thanks again!

Thanks again for the review, Regina. Day 2 was another great day indeed. Todd, Glenn, and I sure enjoyed having you all aboard for the two day trip. I hope to have you back in the future! Thanks for booking!
The captain (Dave) and his brother (Ben) worked the entire trip maintaining the lines. They put us on fish and we limited out. They did a nice job fileting the fish afterwards too. I would use them again for sure.
Adam, thanks for the review. We had a great time fishing with you and Wyatt. The fall weather and fish cooperaeted nicely with a great sunset to cap off the day. One of many reasons we love fishing in Port Washington. We hope to have you back again with us aboard Fishin Da Net.
We did not have any luck for the first couple of hours. Then a couple of fish. The fish started biting towards the end of our time, and they took the time to let us reel in all the bites despite the hour. They even helped us figure out a plan for the fish since we were from out of town and staying at a hotel. Great trip and great service! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review and for booking the trip. Patience pays off when fishing. We enjoyed having you and crew on board with us. Happy Birthday to your son Alex once again! Surely a memorable birthday on the water catching salmon and trout for him.
