Captain Keith Zarembski has been fishing the Great Lakes for over 40 years. He comes from a family of anglers, so fishing runs in his blood. It's always been a dream of his to become a licensed captain one day, so after retirement, Captain Keith decided it was time to pursue his passion. He's a retired police officer with multiple certifications in scuba diving, making safety on the boat important for him. The captain loves taking families out on his boat, teaching kids and beginners how to fish, and making people smile!

    Five-O fishing charter is a 5 star trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM)5 adults

    My family of 5 went out with Captain Keith to celebrate a sweet 16 birthday for one of our boys. Everyone had a GREAT time. Even better than we expected for sure. Communication leading up to the date was clear and timely. It was reasonably priced when comparing to similar trips as well. Captain Keith kept us steadily hooking good sized walleye throughout the 6 hour ride. He was on top of all the little details, very knowledgeable, while still making us all feel welcome. Captain Keith was extremely patient and friendly, especially considering we had 3 rowdy teenage boys with us. The boat itself was beautiful and very well equipped. All 5 of us would recommend taking this charter, without any hesitation. We'll hopefully to get another chance to go again. Book this getaway if you get a chance!!

    Reported catch:

    Great day with your family. Everyone was on point and did a great job reeling in the fish. It was a pleasure taking you out. Thank you.

    awesome trip awesome crew

    Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

    Captain Keith and first mate Bob were great to fish with. Day started slow but the Captain put us on fish later in the trip and we also had some in boat rivalry between whose side, the captains or the first mates that was catching quality versus quantity all in good fun. couldn't have been a better trip. we caught a good haul and had a great time. The crew also entertained my grandson and had him reel in tje majority of the fish. They are great with children and very knowledgeable on the water. Will be using their service again

    Response from Captain

    Thank you. It was a great day having you guys out there and keeping Colton busy on the rods and fish clicker. Look forward to having your crew back out on the Hewes Craft.

    Captain Keith

    Half Day Trip (AM)5 adults

    Captain Keith and 1st Mate were fantastic. They worked their tails off getting us on the fish with the odds stacked against us between the warm water temps and the recent mayfly hatch. We’d like to schedule another trip next Spring when the Walleyes are on the bite. Captain Keith is a class act through and through.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Response from Captain

    Thank you. It was great having your party out on the boat. Look forward to having you out again!

05/28

May 29, 2020 • Newport
Today's forecast: 80% chance of showers and T-storms. We only had a slight drizzle at most and plenty of sun. The bugs weren't bad but we had the Milwaukee fan and thermocells ready for them. Sterling State Park to Bolles Harbor was more dirty then stained. Negative bite in stained water. Fished 23-19 foot of water. Bandits and Flicker minnows #9. Pink Lemonade, Bloody nose, and purple were the flavor of the day. 20-45 back. Fish were up high and were soft biting. The Flynn family were troopers and handled the firedrills thrown at them. Ended up with our limits, several short throwbacks, few knock-offs, and some silver bass/perch to keep them on point. Can't wait to have them on-board again. Thanks Mike, Brian, and Dave. Dates still available. Let's go fishing.
