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.

About Your Guide

Brian F.

Outfitter

For Captain Brian and his team, Lake Michigan is more than a fishery—it's a family legacy. Growing up in a charter fishing family with roots on the Great Lakes stretching back more than six decades, Brian developed a deep appreciation for the water, the fishery, and the traditions that make Great Lakes fishing so special. Today, he proudly carries that tradition forward by delivering exceptional experiences for every group that steps aboard.

Supported by fellow captains Brett, Bryan, and Jaxson, along with experienced first mates Micah and Brady, the team brings a tremendous amount of local knowledge, professionalism, and passion to every trip. Their goal isn't simply to put fish in the boat—it's to create an enjoyable, safe, and welcoming experience that keeps guests coming back year after year.

Whether you're introducing your kids to their first salmon, chasing a personal best King, or simply looking to enjoy a day on the water with friends and family, Captain Brian and his crew are committed to making the trip memorable. Combining generations of Great Lakes experience with a genuine love for sharing the fishery, they work hard to ensure every guest leaves with great memories, great stories, and hopefully a cooler full of fresh fish.
