Captain
Nate Radke

Member since July 2025 Milwaukee, United States
Background
With over 40 years of family fishing experience on Lake Michigan, our legacy runs deep in these waters. Fishing isn't just a pastime—it's a way of life passed down through generations. We've spent decades mastering the art of chasing salmon and trout, and that dedication has led to over 10 tournament victories in Salmon-A-Rama, one of the Midwest’s premier fishing competitions. From early morning lines to hard-fought weigh-ins, every trip is fueled by passion, tradition, and a commitment to excellence on the water.
Techniques
Whether we're trolling the big boards or dropping jigs into a feeding frenzy, it’s all about the thrill of the chase. Trolling is like setting a spread at the all-you-can-eat buffet—covering water and tempting kings, cohos, and steelhead with a smorgasbord of baits. Jigging, on the other hand, is hands-on and high-adrenaline—feeling every thump, every strike, and going toe-to-fin with fish in real time. Two styles, one goal: hook into Lake Michigan giants and make some memories while we’re at it!
