 1933 South 1st Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204, United States

We feature 6, 7, and 8-hour charters for more fish and fishing time!

We fish the rich waters of Lake Michigan from Milwaukee Bay and beyond with Blue Max Charters Salmon Fishing! The team has over 20 years of experience fishing these waters, and they will provide you with all the latest fishing equipment you need to make sure your trip with them is one to remember.

The Blue Max is a 33’ Welcraft motor yacht powered by twin Mercury engines to get you to the fishing grounds quickly and efficiently. The boat can take up to 6 passengers. All children must be 50 pounds to go out on a charter!

The boat features both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a large clean toilet. The spacious deck will ensure everyone has plenty of room to fish and enjoy the sunshine, while the boat’s electric downriggers will give you a high chance of success when trolling.

During your trip, you will be motor trolling with up to 10 rods with lures that are placed in various depths of water to maximize your coverage of the lake. The species you will be targeting depends on the time of year. In April you can expect to fish for Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout, while in May you can enjoy a workout battling Coho Salmon and Rainbow Trout

From June to August, you can target Chinook Salmon, known as ‘King’ for its brute strength and size. Great-tasting Brown and Rainbow Trout are also good at this time of year. And in September and October – fish for King and Coho Salmon and Brown and Rainbow Trout as all the species gather in Milwaukee harbor before starting their journey up the rivers.

The use of great quality fishing equipment is included in the price of the trip, and you’ll get ice to keep your catch fresh while on the boat. You can buy two-day resident or nonresident licenses from Blue Max Charters at $14 each. No stamp required.
