 Slip 104 Simmons Island, Kenosha, WI 53140, United States

Great Lakes, great fishing, and a great boat. What more could you want? With Fisherman Jim’s Great Lakes Fishing, you’ll experience the incredible Salmon and Trout fishing that Lake Michigan has to offer. Head offshore from Kenosha and catch plenty of these delicious creatures. Captain Jim Matias has been fishing his whole life, running charters for over 10 years. Thanks to his passion and expertise, you’re in for a productive day.

You’ll drift across the lake aboard an elite, professional vessel. The 33’ Chris-Craft was built for commercial fishing and can set up 18 rods to troll. Powered by twin 350 HP American-made Crusader engines, you’re in for a smooth ride. While you wait for the bite, you’ll be in complete luxurious surroundings. The cabin is fitted with a toilet, kitchen, bed, TV, and plenty of comfortable seating, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Fitted with downriggers to help troll, you know this boat means business. Tough-fighting and strong as can be, you’ll need all the help you can get to reel in delicious Coho and Chinook Salmon, as well as Brown, Lake, and Rainbow Trout. Use all your strength to stop them from getting away, and pull them aboard before taking them home. The captain will happily clean and prepare your catch for you, just make sure to bring a cooler to keep them fresh.

You should also bring your own snacks and drinks and keep them cool in the captain’s ice-box – alcohol is allowed, just make sure there are no glass bottles. And that’s it, all that’s left for you to do is get booking and come down to Fisherman Jim’s Great Lakes Fishing for a fin-tastic day’s fishing. You’ll even find licenses on board for a mere $14 per person.

Capt. Jim is calling you aboard today to see why the Great Lakes are called so.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Having fished all his life, Captain Jim decided to make a profession out of his passion in 2008. He knew that he just loved being on the water and spending every day doing what he loves was never going to be an issue. In fact, it's even better to do it with customers, as he gets to share his enthusiasm and skills with others, and he gets to see the smiles on their faces.
