Wow, what an incredible experience!!  Five stars!!  I recently had to travel to Wisconsin for work and was looking for ways to entertain myself while in town, that’s when I discovered that Lake Michigan was stocked with King Salmon. I’ve caught just about every other type of freshwater game fish, except for Salmon. I had always wanted to travel to the pacific northwest to fish for them, I just never had the opportunity.  I started searching for fishing charters out of Milwaukee, that’s when I found Captain Kurt and the Reel Obsession. After booking my trip, I told the captain that I was interested in catching some of Lake Michigan’s King Salmon and/or Cohos. He said that wouldn’t be a problem. I had texted him several times prior to our trip with questions, and he was always quick to reply. The morning of the trip he put me on fish right away, within the first 30 minutes, we had already caught several MONSTER salmon!!! Throughout the rest of the morning, we caught several more Kings, Coho and Steelhead/Rainbow. Captain Kurt monitored EVERYTHING … the reels, the boat speed, water depth, water temperature, lure depth and lure speed. He was very good about explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it. He has this process down to a science, selecting lures, colors, and flasher combos that he knew would attract fish. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and their history in the lake. His boat and equipment were all top-notch, we experienced no failure or snags for any kind.  Captain Kurt and his crew cleaned all the fish, bagged them up, then sent me back to Tennessee with a truckload full of fish. I’m not going to say that we caught all the fish in the lake, but by the time we got off the water, my arms sure felt like we did. It was such a blast!! I highly recommend the Reel Obsession, Captain Kurt, and his crew to anyone interested in catching fish out of Lake Michigan.

From day one of booking we had great communication with Captain Kurt. There was wind in the forecast for our original afternoon trip. He reached out and got us moved to the morning. We were able to go out and get a Great Lake Grand Slam (brown trout, lake trout, steelhead, coho and king salmon)! Kurt and Larry were very personable and knowledgeable! Thank you for the great time!

They didn’t disappoint, we were on fish from the start till the very end. We had a double to start the day and a double on rainbows to end the day. Plus 2 nice kings. I would highly recommend very professional and made you feel comfortable. Tha ks for the experience and will definitely be calling them again.

Wonderful fishing trip

Kurt had a driven game plan. He knew his plan for our trip and executed. No wish washy wasting time out there. Results produced!
