I started fishing at a very early age and landed my first Brown Trout out of the Root River at 5 years old and I was hooked. For the past 25 years, I have learned and created different techniques that have produced fish time and time again. After spending three years in the Coast Guard I came back home and started my own business, WIFinlander Guide Service, with a focus in springtime Steelhead in the rivers of Lake Michigan. I spent a few years fishing with other tournament fishermen and other charter captains learning the ropes and in 2014, I bought my first boat and started trolling on Lake Michigan and did very well in my first Salmon A Rama out of my own boat. Since then, I have continued to learn and progress and last fall I decided to embark on getting my Captains License. There is no better feeling than seeing the smile on someone's face who just caught either their first or biggest Trout/Salmon.

    Tim er en fantastisk kaptajn

    5 Timers Tur (AM) • 2 voksne • 1 barn

    Tim, tak fordi du gav os en dag, vi aldrig glemmer. Han forklarede alt på en måde, der fik os til at føle os helt hjemme. Tim arbejdede uafbrudt hele turen, fra afgang, tips til at spole fisken ind, til filetering på land. Vi kunne ikke have ønsket os en mere vidende kaptajn

    Jeg bookede dette charter til mig og min mormor som hendes julegave. Tim var en fremragende kaptajn og sjov at fiske med. Den her fyr ved, hvad han laver, og han sørger for, at I får fisk. Vi nåede grænsen ved jigfiskeri efter laks. Man kan også trolle!

    So far the fishing on Lake Michigan has been notjjng short of stellar from trolling to jigging and bsvk to trolling. For how red hot the salmon bite has been has only allowed a couple of inland days which were full of bluegills and crappies. Fall garbor kings are knocking on the doir and dates are getting limited. Dont wait to long to secure your trip jigging for these hard fighting salmon on a spinning rod!

2025 salmon tournament seadon in the boo

Sep 19, 2025 • Oak Creek
Now that my salmon tournament season is over here is the recap of the Big Pond Brawl Series. The first tournament was quite the grind and we finished in 11th place. The second stop was nothing short of lights out fishing with a 4th place finish. The third stop was a grind with wicked currents to fight but we ended up in 12 plus big fish. The fourth and final stop was called early due to high winds. We ended up going 4 for 5 between jigging and bobbers which landed us in 6th place and just enough points (best 3 scores) to secure the small boat series win. Big congratulations to Jim Muller and the Stormtrooper crew for winning three stops and posting a perfect 300 score and taking the main series title. I would also like to thank everyone who came out and fished with me; Nate, Josh, Tim, Brogun, and Bob. Along with that a big thank you to my girlfriend Tina for putting up with all the early mornings. Finally a big thanks to Rob at LMA for putting on this series and all the sponsors that made it happen. #fishusa #plinefishing #beckmannets #1g #skeeterboats #garmin #fishhawkelectronics #shimano #teamdreamweaver #stinger #simmsfishing #strikerbrands #traxstech #yamaha

Big Pond Brawl stop 3

Aug 17, 2025 • Oak Creek
Tournament Talk. Fished the third leg of the Big Pond Brawl series this morning. The original plan was to run 23mi up to Milwaukee but after getting out of the harbor, that plan changed in a quick hurry. I decided to start where I was Tuesday morning in 60fow out of Racine. It wasn’t for the lack of marking fish but none wanted to cooperate for the first hour in a half. After working north Nate, Bob and I started picking away at them. Bite numbers were good but landing average was not. We had well over a dozen bites and landed 6 of them with one being the biggest king of the season tipping the scales at 24.78lbs that cracked a wire diver with a flasher fly, which Bob did an excellent job reeling in. Thank goodness for the double extension on my **hidden content** salmon net as the fly pulled as it hit the net. It was truly sickening the amount of 10+lb kings we missed. Just 3 would have secured a win. But out of 5 fish we had 58lbs which put us in 13 or 14th place. The big one was good enough to secure big fish of the tournament. If my calculations are right, Walter has nudged me into second place for the small boat series 258 to 252. Needless to say we’re going to need a high placing at the final to make a run at the title. #fishusa #plinefishing #1g #strikerbrands #rapala #beckmannets #shimano #simmsfishing #skeeter #yamaha #garmin #ramtrucks #teamdreamweaver

Big Pond Brawl #2

Jun 8, 2025 • Oak Creek
Had a fantastic day yesterday for leg two of **hidden content** Big Pond Brawl. Nate, Brogun and I started off where I ended pre fishing seeing the waves stopped any idea I had to run to Milwaukee. It only took two rods in to connect with a 5lb king. In the next 45mins we ended up going 5-5 on kings ranging from 3 to 8lbs. After that bite died off we yanked rods and ran to the lake trout grounds where it only took 2mins after setting the first rigger to connect with a 12lb trout. We then proceeded to lay waste to twin 12.8lbers, twin 11’s, twin 10’s and shook twin 8’s off behind the boat. After hitting our tournament limit of lakers, we put a king spread again. At 12:05 a hot 12.5lb king smoked my 10cl leadcore. After clearing all the rods and watching the clock, I put the boat in reverse and chased it down knowing we would be cutting it close to being back in. Once in the net it was off to the races back to the harbor. We finished 4th place with 54lbs and got some excellent series points. Now time for trips and gear up for Salmon a Rama.

Memorial Weekend

Jun 4, 2025 • Oak Creek
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend and remembered the sacrifices made. I was extremely busy with trips. Sunday numbers went as follows morning- 10-15, mid morning 10-14, afternoon 9-12, Monday morning 15-23. Fidhing remains absolutely stellar and its the perfect time to get your freezer filled with delicious coho salmon!

With high winds and nautical seas, fishable days have been few and far between but the days i can get out, fishing has been solid with cohos being the main species but there is starting to bd a mixed bag bite with steelhead, kings and lakers mixing in.
