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.

    Definitely Impressed

    Afternoon/Evening 6 Hour Trip

    We couldn’t have been happier with our trip with captain Bryan and Mysti. The boat was clean, and very comfortable. We were especially grateful that they had a heated cabin since the lake was pretty cold. We caught a variety of fish and had more than enough fillets to share with our friends and neighbors. I would highly recommend them and we will definitely be back again next year.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Chinook Salmon
    Lake Trout

    Hi-tech Charter

    PM - 5 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    We very much enjoyed our August 7 fishing trip with Hi-Tech. Captain Bryan and first mate Misty pulled out all the stops to make our trip successful. We would highly recommend them if you’re planning a Lake Michigan charter trip.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, it was nice fishing with you again.

King salmon bite is PHENOMENAL !!!

Aug 6, 2026 • Sheboygan
August and September are peak months for Chinook, (aka King Salmon). And this season is shaping up to be a fantastic year! Great numbers of kings have been coming in for both mornings and evenings. Other than the occasional slow day due to weather, I would expect that fishing will remain great throughout Aug and September.

Fish are still chewing!

Jun 22, 2026 • Sheboygan
There’s still plenty of time to get in on the action. The past few days the coho and rainbow fishing has remained strong, with a few kings (chinook) starting to show up in the mix.

Great action this morning with our 4 person limit of coho salmon. Fishing should only get better from here.

The coho bite remains absolutely crazy! We’re also catching a few kings and Rainbows mixed in. Lake conditions have been good, baitfish are in good numbers and the fish are here.

Crazy good fishing so far this season! LOTS of cohos, and bow we’re starting to see some kings. Don’t miss out on some of the best fishing we’ve seen in over 10 years.

HEAVY COOLER COMING THROUGH…

Another successful morning!!! Kings to start the morning, then rainbows and lake trout to finish off the morning. We still have plenty of dates open, and fishing should remain good throughout the season.
