Fishing in Sheboygan

Looking to experience some of the best fishing that Wisconsin has to offer? Hop aboard one of the many Sheboygan fishing charters on offer and get ready to fall in love with this vibrant city! Located along Lake Michigan’s western shore, right at the mouth of the Sheboygan River, it’s the perfect place to begin your angling adventure. And when you’re ready to return to land? You’ll have beautiful beaches, incredible street art, and a bustling city center to explore.

It’s fair to say that Lake Michigan charters are the local guides’ bread and butter in Sheboygan, and this is thanks to the incredible fish that inhabit this Great Lake. You can hook into Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and Steelhead almost any time from May until October. If you want to fill the freezer, there’s also an impressive Perch population! Trolling is a popular technique out on the lake, and will let you cover plenty of ground.

If you’re looking to explore the Sheboygan River instead, you’ll have an impressive variety of fish to target. During fall you’ll encounter Chinook and Coho Salmon as they move up the river, with 20–30 lb varieties being common. In summer, fish low waters for Pike, Crappie, and Smallmouth Bass. Spring is all about chasing Steelhead. Fishing the Sheboygan River usually means spinning or fly fishing, but if you’re in the area during winter you can try out ice fishing!

You’ll find local Sheboygan fishing guides dotted all around the mouth of the Sheboygan River and along the lakefront. Guides run trips lasting anywhere from half a day out on the water, perfect for newbies, to longer adventures for more seasoned anglers who want to reel in a trophy catch.

Rules & Regulations

Any angler over the age of 16 needs a valid Wisconsin fishing license to explore Sheboygan’s waters. If you want to target certain species, such as Salmon or Trout, you’ll likely need a Great Lake Salmon and Trout Stamp, too.

Sheboygan Fishing Seasons

January

Fishing in Sheboygan in January is all about the weather conditions. It could be warm enough to go fishing for Steelhead the conventional way, or cold enough to try a little bit of ice fishing!

February

If the waters of Lake Michigan are frozen, you can try ice fishing around its harbors and inshore waters. The Sheboygan Marina is a great starting point. You can hook a nice number of Northern Pike through the ice.

March

Head to one of Sheboygan's many piers and take part in some shore fishing. Jumbo Yellow Perch are a popular catch during this month. Reel in your first spring catch!

April

Brown Trout are biting right now! Lake Michigan's waters are getting warm and are ready to produce good numbers of Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and various types of Trout.

May

Head to Lake Michigan in May for excellent Salmon and Trout fishing action. You can also stay close to shore and fish for Whitefish. These species are delicious and seriously fun to catch!

June

Summer has truly arrived and the fishing action is getting hot. You can chase acrobatic Steelhead or go for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout.

July

Mid-summer fishing allows you to get your hands on anything from Lake Trout to Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Brown Trout, and Steelhead. The angling action is extremely hot right now!

August

The majority of Sheboygan's Trout and Salmon populations hang out in deeper waters this time of year. Before they head to the spawning grounds, you can hop on board a Lake Michigan charter to catch your limits.

September

Enjoy the beautiful warm waters along the lake's shoreline and get your hands on Trout and Salmon. Both species are ready to run upstream and can be found at the mouths of the rivers.

October

Find yourself a local guide and head to one of Sheboygan's piers You can get your hands on large Northern Pike using gold shiners! Steelhead lurk around the lake and rivers.

November

Head to the North Pier with a local guide and check the bite out. You won't be disappointed! Using bottom rigs for Steelhead and bobbers for Northern Pike are popular techniques during this month.

December

Why not treat yourself to special Christmastime a fishing trip? Your guide will make sure you're equipped with all the gear you need to catch Brown Trout and Northern Pike.

The fishing in the morning was not poorand the captain decided to go far into the lake for about an hour before putting out the lines. We trolled for at least three hours before catch 2 kings and 1 lake trout, Lost another. Good captain and mate and they really were changing lures frequently to find what was working.

We had a great trip out on the water with captain Art and mate Adam. We were looking to get away from the heat during the slow days of summer and catch a few fish. Bucket List not only did that, but exceeded our expectations by putting us on plenty of fish when most other boats wouldn't go out or were only abke to catch 1 or 2. Would highly recommend this charter, awesome captain and crew.

Darrien and Sam were great! Caught a Rainbow early on and then a Coho. Towards the end of the trip we also had a nice King, and lost another at the boat. Both guys worked hard to keep us on the fish despite some fog and changing weather conditions. I would highly recommend this team!
