Bryan Gruenke

Member since August 2022 Sheboygan, United States
Background
I started HI-TECH Charters in 2001 after years of fishing Lake Michigan. 2025 was my 25th year as a guide, and I love it just as much as the first year. Lake Michigan is something you have to experience at least once, and it will likely be the first of many days on the lake. It's addictive and once you've caught your first king salmon you're hooked.
Techniques
Fresh water trolling, using artificial baits / tackle. We prefer to troll using enjoyable techniques over unenjoyable ones that can sometimes be productive. We also ensure that our top of the line equipment is in top notch condition, so you can enjoy your experience as much as possible.
