After years of trips where the fish always seemed to win, my son finally got to experience what we’d been waiting for—reeling in some beautiful fish! Seeing the excitement on his face made the entire trip worth it.

A huge thank you to Bryan and Brad for putting us right on the rainbows and king salmon. They knew exactly where to go, worked hard all day, and made sure everyone had a great experience. We came home with a cooler full of fish and enough for an amazing dinner, but even better, we came home with memories we’ll be talking about for years.

If you’re looking for a Lake Michigan charter with a knowledgeable, hardworking crew that wants you to catch fish, I highly recommend booking with Fish On Sport Fishing Charters.

The entire experience started with a discussion with Fish-On owner Brian Forman.  While the great Lakes are salt-free, Brian is the salt of the earth.  As a crew, my friends John, Joe and I have fished Lake Erie multiple times for Walleye, Lake Trout and Steelhead as the targets.  We fished Lake Ontario for King Salmon.  All of those trips were with the same Captain (Captain Vince).  We limited out every time and landed other species too.  We are from just outside Philadelphia, PA in the lower Southeast Corner of PA.  Erie is in the upper Northwest corner.  Both we and Captain Vince would look forward to the annual excursion and would stay in touch during the year.  We have a special bond, in year one of our trips Captain Vince and his First Lady,  Heather, actually took action that saved John’s life. We decided that our crew should fish all five Great Lakes, which meant finding a new Captain.  A tall order.  We chose to fish on the WI side since Joe is trying to get to all 50 states and WI was on the list of places to visit.

Fish-on had all 5-star reviews that were recent, for all of the crews.  In the conversation with Brian he jokingly stated “The Captain saved your friend’s life and you limit out every year, and you’ve never gone out with anyone else - boy I have a lot to live up to.”  We had a 3:30 five-hour trip out of Sheboygan, WI.  The boat was roomy, well- appointed with a full working head, above and below deck seating.  Jaxon is a knowledgeable Captain, Jaxon is a solid and skilled First Mate.  Both are friendly, have a great sense of humor and know the lake like the back of their hand.  The array of tackle was endless.  We hooked into Chinook and King Salmon plus Rainbow Trout. 

Brian called in the mid-trip lull to check on our progress.  We had some great fights.  The last fish in the boat was the King Salmon Joe landed.  Both Jaxon and Brady expertly guided Joe and the boat as the silver King kept jumping and trying to shake the lure.  Despite the deep muscle burn they got it in the net.  If you want a great trip, with not only a great crew but great people, Fish-on is the guide service for you.  Top-of-table! It didn’t stop on the water.  Jaxon recommended the WI specific Spotted Cow to pair with our fish.  Brady gave us an outstanding recommendation for dinner in Sheboygan too.  Brian even called us at dinner for feedback.  All around All-Stars.

Had an awesome trip with Fish On Fishing Charters. The crew worked hard, Captian Brian was great guide, and his fist mate Micah was very good at his job. They explained things well, kept the atmosphere fun, and made the whole experience easy whether you’ve done charter fishing before or not. Boat was clean, organized, and we ended up bringing fish home! Would definitely book again and recommend them if you’re looking to get out on Lake Michigan for salmon and trout.

“What an unforgettable experience for my very first fishing trip! Captain Brian made the day enjoyable, relaxing, and fun for everyone on board. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we all had a great time. The ladies and I shared plenty of laughs, caught some fish, and made memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Captain Brian to anyone looking for a wonderful day out on the water. Thank you for making my first fishing adventure such a special one!”

Had an awesome day out on Lake Michigan with this crew! The captain knew exactly where the fish were and put us right on them. We landed several king salmon and a few beautiful rainbow trout. The kings really put up a fight and made for some unforgettable runs. The boat was clean and well equipped, the gear was top-notch, and the whole team was friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. They took care of everything so we could just focus on fishing and enjoying the day. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just getting started, you’ll be in great hands. Can’t recommend them enough we’ll definitely be booking again!
