Jack’s Charter Service operates out of Milwaukee and Racine, WI running unbeatable trips targeting Trout and Salmon on beautiful Lake Michigan. Milwaukee is the perfect place to go to fish Lake Michigan, with the most state records caught from Milwaukee in the entire State of Wisconsin, and these guys are the best in town.

Their 36 ft Tiara yacht is powered by twin 475HP Crusader engines achieving a top speed of 30 knots, and is aptly named “The Leader” because no-one’s going to get out on the lake faster! She comes rigged for the task at hand, with a full battery of Raymarine electronics including two GPS and fishfinder units as well as radar; and tournament grade lures and top of the line Shimano rods and reels that you can be sure will get the job done. She also boasts an air-conditioned interior with a toilet and plenty of space to relax in between bites.

Captain Ken Poludnianyk has over 25 years of experience as a tournament-proven Captain and fisherman. Guiding is a full-time job for him, and so he always knows where the best and freshest spots are, and what’s working best day-in-day-out. He also works hard to maintain his reputation and great customer satisfaction, as it’s his business that’s on the line. He’ll be sure to work through exactly what you want to get from your trip to make sure you have the best time possible while out on the water.

All Captain Ken’s trips are child and family friendly, and come with a free cleaning and filleting service for anything you want to take home.

We had an amazing time. Top notch equipment, operated by Captain Ken and First Mate Joe. They were so knowledgeable and capable that it made it much more enjoyable for our boat full of first timers!! We will definitely be booking with them again, and would highly recommend Jack’s Charter Service!!!

Thank you for fishing with us. We hope your dad had a great time catching that 26.10 lb King Salmon for his Birthday. We hope to see you again soon.

Half Day Trip (10 AM)

Late morning/early afternoon trip in late July

VERIFIED

Captain and mate put us on fish even though our timing (late vs early morning) put us at a disadvantage, which we were warned about and offered an earlier time. With kids along (5 and 8 yo) we needed the later time. The outing turned out to be not as kid-friendly as we would have preferred anyway. But if you're after hard fighting fish with serious professionals, this crew will get the job done.
