Captain Nolan Koepp has plenty of angling experience under his belt. He started working as a first mate at the age of 12 and became a captain at the age of 19, and is now 36. His favorite part of the job is meeting new clients and helping them catch their biggest fish yet. His ultimate aim is to provide you with an incredible experience you'll remember for years.

    Amazing first charter for our family!

    5 Hour Trip (AM) Salmon Trout • 6 adults • 2 children

    Capt. Grant and Austin were awesome and put us on the fish! They were great with the kids and our group of 6 had a great experience, catching 18 fish, without even taking advantage of the ‘morning bite’! Nolan was great and accommodated our request for a later start with the kids on board. We researched charters out of Port Washington before booking and decided to go with Nolan’s Top Gun due to their success rates and good reviews. We were very pleased and would highly recommend!!

    Awesome day fishing.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) Salmon Trout • 6 adults

    First charter trip out on Michigan. Had a blast fishing. Would have limitted out if we landed the fish that spit the hooks. Thanks Capt. Grant and Austin. Will definately go again.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks a lot, Rob! We’re glad you had a blast on your first charter trip on Lake Michigan! Those fish that spit the hooks always seem to be the ones we remember the most 😂. Captain Grant and Austin had a great time fishing with you guys, and we really appreciate you choosing Nolan’s Top Gun Charters. We look forward to having you back aboard and hopefully getting you that limit next time! 🎣

    Capt Grant and Austin-Top Notch

    Harbor Sunset Cruise • 6 adults

    We had an incredible trip! These two are professional, kind, knowledgeable, and very personable. We even had a family memeber that felt sick and they were able to accommodate us and cut the trip in half. We still caught fish and grilled it same night-best fish ever!!!!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks Melissa glad you had a good time and got a couple fish for dinner.

    great time

    5 Hour Trip (AM) Salmon Trout • 3 adults

    Top Gun was the best frishing charter I've ever been on. the three of us had our limit of Coho 3 hrs early. Captain Grant is young in age but not experience. he was personable and had us catching right out of port.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
