About Your Trip

Join Captain Brian and his team for an unforgettable day trolling the productive waters of Lake Michigan aboard a spacious 36' Tiara motor yacht. Whether you're looking for a quick morning bite or a full-day adventure chasing trophy salmon, there's a trip option to fit your schedule and fishing goals. The crew specializes in targeting Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, Brown Trout, and Lake Trout using proven Great Lakes trolling techniques and top-quality equipment.

The
5-hour trips are perfect for anglers looking to capitalize on the lake's prime feeding windows. Morning departures are geared toward aggressive King Salmon, with some of the best action often occurring during low-light conditions around sunrise. Afternoon departures focus more heavily on Steelhead opportunities while still providing a chance at salmon throughout the trip. These shorter outings are ideal for families, first-time anglers, or anyone looking to experience Lake Michigan fishing without committing to a full day on the water.

For anglers wanting more time to stay on active fish, the 6-hour and 8-hour trips provide additional flexibility to cover more water, adjust to changing conditions, and extend productive bites. The extra time often allows the crew to explore multiple areas and techniques throughout the trip, increasing opportunities to connect with a variety of species. If you're looking for the ultimate experience, the 10-hour charter offers a true full-day adventure with an early departure designed to maximize fishing time and take advantage of multiple feeding windows throughout the day.

You'll fish from a recently restored 36' Tiara that's built for comfort as much as performance. Amenities include an enclosed restroom, kitchen area, refrigerator, comfortable seating, modern electronics, outriggers, fish-finding technology, and plenty of room to spread out while fishing. All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided, and your catch will be cleaned and bagged at no additional charge at the end of the trip.

Just bring your Wisconsin fishing license with a Great Lakes Trout and Salmon Stamp, weather-appropriate clothing, snacks, drinks, and a camera. From first-time anglers to seasoned salmon fishermen, Captain Brian and his crew are ready to help create a memorable day on Lake Michigan.
