Amazing trip!

6 Hour Summer Evening Trip6 adults

We were a mix of first time and veteran charter fishers and we all had a great time. The conditions weren’t great and it was a slow start but Captain Greg tried his best to get us fish and we ended up with 1 rainbow trout, 2 brown trout, & 5 salmon. We appreciated that there is a network of other charter Captains that he was able call for hot spots when things were slow, it’s great to see his motivation is to get fish on board and keeping the sport friendly. He’s an invaluable asset to Milwaukee fishing!

    Outstanding Family Charter – We'll Definitely Be Back!

    5 Hour Spring Morning Trip5 adults

    We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Greg and his first mate, Shane. From the time we got on the boat until we headed back to the marina, they made sure everyone in our family had a great time. They were especially good with our three teenagers, answered all of our questions, and took the time to explain what they were doing throughout the trip. The boat was very comfortable, the weather was perfect, and Greg was just a great guy to spend the morning with. He was easy to talk to, shared a lot of knowledge, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Shane was just as friendly and worked hard all morning to keep us on fish and make sure everyone was having fun. The fishing was excellent. We caught several steelhead, including a 30-inch, 10.5-pound fish that Greg said was only a couple pounds away from being tournament caliber. With the weather being so nice and a little extra time available, Greg took us to one more fishing spot before heading back to the marina. We really appreciated him making the most of the great conditions. If you're looking for a charter with great people who genuinely care about giving you a memorable experience, we highly recommend Captain Greg and Shane. We had an amazing day and are already looking forward to fishing with them again the next time we're in Milwaukee.

    We had a great time!

    6 Hour Morning Trip - RECOMMENDED3 adults

    Captain Greg and First Mate Kathy made our trip from Iowa well worth it! Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but we (my son and I) were made to feel like we mattered to them. They are wonderful people who genuinely want their "customers" to enjoy the adventure on their boat. They went over safety issues before leaving and explained the different methods of fishing we were doing. They also filleted our catch in a manner as to fit neatly in our cooler. I highly recommend these two expert "fisher-people". You can't go wrong with these two at the helm!

    Great day on the water

    6 Hour Spring Mid-Day Trip4 adults

    First off, Greg and Cathy were first rate. Great personalities, great conversation, and very knowledgeable and experienced. We were booked the day prior and thunderstorms and rain were predicted all day and they communicated with us and were able to offer us the next day which we took. It was a sunny, beautiful, flat water day- simply gorgeous. We opted for the afternoon trip fully knowing that the early morning bite is usually better, but we did well enough with eight boated and several hookups that we lost. Had 3 on at the same time once. Highly recommend these guys!

    Great Trip!

    Full Day Summer Trip (8 hours)5 adults

    Captain Greg and First Mate Kathy did an awsome job! Both of them were experienced and knowledgeable, not only where to put us on fish but also the history of fishing in Lake Michigan. They worked hard from beginning to end to give us the best experience possible. We ended up with 3 King Salmon, 3 Rainbow Trout, and 6 Coho Salmon. I’ve done a number of charters around the country and this was the best experience overall. I will definitely use the again when we travel back to the area. Thanks for a great experience Captain Greg and Kathy.

    Caught limit in 2 hours!

    5 Hour Spring Morning Trip2 adults

    My son and I enjoyed visiting with Captain Greg and First Mate Cathy and watching them get the fishing poles ready. They were both very knowledgeable about salmon habits and best places to catch them. As a result, we were reeling in the fish 2 at a time and most were big! We booked a 5 hour charter, but caught our limit in 2 hours. On our way bag to the marina, Captain Greg fileted our catch while Cathy put the filets in baggies. It was a great experience and we are already looking forward to the next time.
