What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the first time?

Be ready for a great experience, but remember it’s called fishing for a reason. We caught a lot of fish primarily rainbow trout and then lake trout too. We did not get salmon (which I would have loved to catch). But that’s why they call it fishing.

Check the weather pattern and contact the boat captain for trends so you can plan the trip better.

September is late in the season for fishing on Lake Michigan for salmon. Rainbow trout and lake trout were what we caught.

I would recommend taking the early charters. We seemed to catch most of our fish early in the morning.

If you are looking for a fun and learning experience with strong fish pulling on your line. Milwaukee is awesome.

Let's Joe Fishing is a great choice for a Lake Michigan charter. I like the more personal experience that Joe gives.

dress warm - it can get cool on the lake - windy - won't be any sunbathing this trip!
