First Salmon Thanks to Captain Nate!

Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM)1 adult

I had an amazing experience fishing with Captain Nate! He was super knowledgeable, patient, and made the trip really enjoyable from start to finish. I’m new to fresh water fishing so this was my first salmon ever. Nate walked me through everything step by step and helped me land my very first one! You can tell he really knows the water and where the fish are biting. The whole trip was well-organized, relaxed, and fun. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced angler, I highly recommend booking with Nate. It was definitely a day to remember, and I’ll be coming back for another trip for trout and steelhead season soon!

    Lifetime Memory with my 10yo

    Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Despit a choppy sunny afternoon, Nate found the fish and the biting window to land us a great catch! Our first experience on tge big lake for my 10yo and I…along with some great instruction on how to reel in the big Salmon and Trout. Highly recommend for first timer or experienced big lake fishing. Tips: be prepared for nearly the full time on the lake (suppose unless you had your catch earlier), I rushed getting there and I admittedly forgot to bring my water or snacks. My own doing. We’re certainly going to go fishing with Nate again!

    Reported Catch

    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon
    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, John! I’m glad you and your son had a great time out on the lake and made some awesome memories together. You guys did a great job battling those salmon and trout, especially with the choppy conditions! It was a pleasure having you both aboard, and I look forward to fishing with you again! 🎣

    Absolutely the best charter I ever took!

    Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM) • 2 adults

    Nate was great at answering all my questions before our trip. He was friendly and never condescending about directions and safety. We didn't start off strong because of the time of day we got started, but he worked extra hard to get us on fish. His gear was top-notched and we really had fun. We caught several and he allowed us to donate them. Afterwards, he didn't just leave. We sat and talked over softdrinks and water. He told us about other fishing opportunities, and if we come back, he's our guy!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, Brian! I really appreciate the kind words. It was a pleasure having you guys out, and I’m glad we were able to grind it out and put some nice fish in the boat! I also really enjoyed getting to sit down and talk with you guys afterward. Hope to see you back in Wisconsin for another trip sometime! 🎣

    Best trip ever!

    Half Day Trip – Salmon (AM) • 1 adult

    My first time fishing the great lake for salmon, steelhead and Captain Nate made it an epic show. We start around 5:40 am and made quick work landing our limit by 7:40 with couple lost fish. There are couple double headers and the hard fighting got a workout fo me. my left arm is sore ! Recommend captain Nate service to everyone. He'll make sure you have fun times!. I will definitely be back with Nate next time we're in Milwaukee. Thank you Captain Nate!!!

    Thank you so much, Khoa! It was a pleasure having you out on the boat. We definitely had an action-packed morning—the double headers kept us busy! 😂 I’m glad we could get your limit and make your first Great Lakes salmon trip one to remember. Looking forward to fishing with you again next time you’re in Milwaukee! 🎣

    Incredible fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip – Salmon (AM) • 2 adults

    Had a great first ever fishing trip shared with my 13 year old son! Captain Nate was excellent, well prepared, knowledgeable, and on task 100% of the time to get us in great fishing waters, catching incredible steelhead & brown trout, king and coho salmon. He was patient, with a teaching spirit as my son and I learned the ropes of fishing on Lake Michigan. I hope to do this again in the future, and I’ll definitely be using Captain Nate as our guide no matter the season of year!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, Quentin! It was a pleasure spending the morning on the water with you and your son. I’m glad we were able to put together a great mix of steelhead, brown trout, kings, and cohos while learning the ropes of Lake Michigan fishing. Your son did an awesome job, and I appreciate you trusting me with your family’s first fishing charter experience. I look forward to fishing with you both again in the future. Tight lines!

    Awesome adventure for our first timer family

    Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    ​This was our very first time going fishing, and we honestly knew absolutely nothing about it. We took our two sons, aged 5 and 8, and my husband, and Captain Nate made sure we had the absolute best experience! It was so exciting catching salmon, especially for the kids. To top it all off, Captain Nate even shared a delicious recipe with us at the end to cook our catch. I recommend him 100%! Thank you, Captain Nate, for an amazing day on Lake Michigan!

    Reported Catch

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, Pamela! We’re honored you chose us for your family’s first fishing trip. Watching your boys reel in salmon and seeing everyone having a great time made it an unforgettable day for us too. We truly appreciate the kind words and are so glad you enjoyed the experience — and the recipe! 😊 Hope to have your family back on Lake Michigan again soon. God bless! 🎣🙏
