Spend the day with CNR Charters and find out what the fishing in Milwaukee is all about!.

Depending on conditions and time of year, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, Lake Trout. On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so notify the captain if children are coming out on the water.

Capt. Jordan runs a 18' Alumacraft aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with downriggers, rod trees, and all the trolling equipment needed for a productive day on the water.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is available online at WI GoWild. To fish Lake Michigan you need a general fishing license as well as a Great Lakes Stamp.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

This is a charter for Lake Michigan. Much like the ocean, wind greatly affects the fishability of the lake. For safety reasons, if the waves are forecasted too large for the charter date, be advised rescheduling may be required. Often forecasting models can accurately let us know how fishable the lake will be 3-5 days in advance.

Best Charter Experience We’ve Had
Half Day Trip – Weekend on June 6, 20262 adults
My girlfriend and I had an awesome trip. We were on 2 person charter, and honestly it made the experience even better than some of the larger charter boats. It felt much more personal, and there was plenty of room to fish comfortably. Our Captain Jordan was genuinely one of the nicest and most down to earth people we’ve met. You’ll be able to tell right away he cares. He made sure we had a fun time and taught us quite a bit, wasnt worried about soley just putting fish in the boat (which he still got alot of fish in the boat regardless lol) He was extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and worked hard the entire trip to keep us on fish. We ended up landing an 18.5 lb King Salmon, a nice Lake Trout, and of plenty Coho. If you’re looking for a fun, laid back, and geniune Lake Michigan fishing experience with a captain who truly enjoys what he does, I highly recommend booking with Jordan, We’ll definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great time
Half Day Trip – Weekend - 5:00 PM on June 6, 20262 adults
It was a great trip. Had lots of cancellations with other charters and he got us in last minute. Water was perfect, Captain Jordan got us on some fish and explained everything well and patient with my son and I. We had a great haul and he was effecient with the cleaning afterwards. If we make it back to Milwaukee, we will definitely book with him again.

Great trip with Captain Ziegler!
Half Day Trip – Weekend (Mid-Day) on July 5, 20253 adults
From the minute I booked we had great communication with our captain about wind and weather conditions and very specifically where to meet. We met Jordan about 15 minutes before our charter and were out on the water perfectly on time. We came home with 2 brown trout and two king salmon. Jordan is SO knowledgeable about where to fish, water temp, lures etc. He was awesome and friendly and outgoing and overall just fun. At the end of our charter he cleaned and bagged our fish to bring home and gave us suggestions how to prepare it. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Ziegler.

Amazing trip and guide
Half Day Trip – Weekend - 5:00 PM on July 13, 20253 adults
Jordan was awesome! He was super friendly and enthusiastic! He explained everything he was doing and answered all of our questions. Fishing was excellent, bite got crazy at sunset and we went home with nearly 30 lbs of filets. At the going rate of salmon, the trip pays for itself in the fish you bring home! Even when the bite was slow we had great time hanging out on the boat and chatting with Jordan. Overall I would 10/10 recommend you book with him. Will 100% be booking again next season!!

Great time on the lake
Half Day Trip – Weekend (Mid-Day) on July 12, 20252 adults
We had such an amazing charter with Captain Jordan. He explained everything he did and its purpose along with great knowledge of the lake’s history. He took his time with us, making sure we had a full experience. He was informative of the type of fish we caught and very encouraging. He was full service and very accommodating. He set up and rigged everything, helped meet the fish, and cleaned and bagged them for us as well. If you’re looking for a fun and enjoyable fishing trip, book with Captain Jordan.
