Hold'em Sportfishing Customer Reviews

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.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband so our whole family could go together—and we’re all very inexperienced. We had such a great time! Greg and Kathy were amazing from start to finish, making the booking and the trip itself easy and enjoyable. They taught us the basics of fishing along with some interesting history about Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. We ended up catching 9 salmon and 2 rainbow trout and couldn’t have been happier. Greg cleaned the fish for us, and Kathy even shared cooking tips. Highly recommend!

Captain Greg did everything he could to get us out on the water despite the nasty winds all week. We ended up having a great experience and brought home some fish.

The captain and first mate were fantastic—friendly, experienced, and made the entire trip enjoyable. We landed five fish total, including one big lake trout and four salmon. The crew knew exactly where to go and kept the energy up the whole time. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on Lake Michigan. Highly recommend!

We had a family trip planned for the charter with quite a span of ages and experiences- the youngest being almost 3 years old. Greg and Kathy were absolutely amazing and their boat perfectly accommodated us including an interior area (especially for the little one), a bathroom, and an overall sense of safety and comfort. They made us feel at home right away on the boat- it quickly felt like we were just fishing with friends! Greg and Kathy were great with communication and answering all of our (many) questions. We had so much fun and caught some amazing fish which will never be forgotten. Overall, I can't imagine a better charter for our family and we would gladly be back on their boat anytime.

Fished a PM trip followed by one the next morning. The bite was tough due to extreme weather conditions days before but Captain Greg got us on fish and worked endlessly to keep us on them. His first mate Cathy handled lines and swapped out tackle with speed and great effort, timing and skill. Her instincts paid off leaving us with a full box of quality fish each trip. I have been on fifty or more Lake Michigan charters over the years and have never seen a crew like Captain Greg and First Mate Cathy work so smoothly together to fill our expectations and provide so much fun. Highly recommend them to everyone.

We had a mid-day trip and had a great time. The water was a little choppy at first, but as the day went on the winds died down and conditions got better...and we caught a bunch of fish!! Greg and Cathy are true professionals and know what they're doing...highly recommend
