C&D Charters offers exciting fishing adventures on the waters of Lake Michigan. Whether you are looking for a family gathering, a friends' day out, or just some fine angling, the crew will work hard to make sure you are fishing in the very best spots available.

Enjoy your fishing trip with C&D Charters aboard a spacious, wheelchair accessible 41' Sea Ray boat, which comes powered by twin 350 HP Crusader engines. It can comfortably take up to six guests and is fully rigged with top-notch navigational electronics, including a GPS, a VHF radio, a radar, and a fish finder. There is a flybridge to aid your search for the fish, a toilet for your maximum comfort on the water, an ice-box to keep your catch fresh during the day, and downriggers for some professional fishing. Inside the boat, there is plenty of room for everyone and full-size couches.

C&D Charters will take you trolling nearshore for Salmon, Lake Trout, and Steelhead. With the Captain, you will get a chance to experience some of Wisconsin's best Lake Michigan Salmon fishing from the scenic Port Washington marina.

Each trip with C&D Charters comes inclusive with all the necessary fishing equipment to make a great catch possible. You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Your fish will also be cleaned and filleted once it's caught so that you could take it home with you for dinner later. Just be sure to purchase a fishing license prior to your trip and get ready for a fun adventure!

We had a great experience!!!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 19, 20264 adults

Chad was great, very helpful and knowledgeable. We had our limit in just a couple of hours. I will definitely book again and would recommend him for anyone including first timers! The boat was spacious and had comfortable couches to hangout in the cabin on our trip out and back in. Chad had our fish cleaned and bagged up prior to get back to shore.

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon

Bad day of fishing beats a good day at work
5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 27, 20266 adults

Captain Chad was cool to hang out with for a few hours. Unfortunately we didnt come closw to our limit, but that should he somewhat expected with an afternoon trip. It was still a great day to be out on the water and shoot the breeze, fishing was just a bonus.
