6-Hour Morning Charter – Best Time for Trophy Fish

Learn More
Our 6-hour morning fishing trip offers the best of both worlds—prime fishing conditions and the flexibility for Captain to explore the best areas for catching fish. With this trip, you’ll have ample time to target Lake Trout, Steelhead, Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Pink Salmon in the productive waters of Lake Michigan. A skilled First Mate is on board to assist you throughout the journey, and a 10–20% tip is appreciated for their efforts. Ensure you have the proper fishing license, and don’t forget to pack sunscreen (non-spray), water, snacks, and a cooler for your catch.

      6-Hour Afternoon Charter – More Time, More Fish

      Learn More
      Our 6-hour afternoon fishing trip gives you the opportunity to fish two prime areas, enhancing your chances of a productive day on the water. Starting in deeper waters during the high-sun period, the fish remain active, and as the day shifts to lower light, we move closer to shore for even more action. This trip targets Lake Trout, Steelhead, Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Pink Salmon in the rich waters of Lake Michigan. A skilled First Mate is available to assist, and a 10–20% tip is appreciated. Don’t forget your fishing license, sunscreen (non-spray), water, snacks, and a cooler for your catch!

        Evening Trophy Fishing Charter on Lake Michigan

        Learn More
        Head out at 5 PM for an evening fishing trip on Lake Michigan that runs through sunset. The action often builds slowly but can finish strong as larger fish become more active later in the day. While catch numbers may not match the morning trips, the potential to hook into trophy-sized fish is higher in the evening hours. This is a great option for anglers focused on quality over quantity. Trips are guided by a professional crew, including a First Mate who works hard to make your experience smooth and successful—a 10–20% gratuity is appreciated.

              Milwaukee Salmon Fishing Trip Options

              What’s Included in Your Charter Trip

              Best Times for Coho and King Salmon


              1. How much does a Lake Michigan fishing charter cost in Milwaukee?

              Prices typically range from $450 to $800, depending on trip length and group size. Hold’em Sportfishing offers competitive rates with all gear included.

              2. What’s included in a Milwaukee salmon fishing charter?

              All charters include rods, reels, bait, tackle, and safety gear. Fish cleaning is usually available for an additional fee.

              3. Are there half-day fishing charters available in Milwaukee?

              Yes. Hold’em Sportfishing offers half-day Lake Michigan salmon charters, ideal for morning or afternoon outings targeting coho and king salmon.

              4. How many people can go on a fishing charter?

              Charters typically accommodate up to 6 guests. Hold’em Sportfishing offers private trips so your group has the boat to yourselves.

              6. Is a fishing license included in the charter price?

              9. Can I cancel or reschedule a fishing charter?

              Yes, with advance notice. Weather-related cancellations are fully refundable or can be rescheduled. Policies are outlined at the time of booking.

              10. What’s the best time of year for affordable salmon charters in Milwaukee?

              Late April through early June offers excellent coho salmon fishing at great value. King salmon season picks up in late summer.
