Water Temp: 54–59°F (Offshore Surface)
Target Species: Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead
We are rolling straight into the best multi-species action of the summer. If you have been looking to experience premium charter fishing in Wisconsin, right now is the sweet spot. The nearshore waters have thoroughly warmed up, pushing massive bait schools into deep-water columns. This has concentrated the fish, and we are witnessing an awesome mix of giant, hard-fighting Coho, aggressive Lake Trout, and reel-screaming King Salmon.
Milwaukee Charter Fishing Report: Deep Water Silver & Steel
Trips for charter fishing in Milwaukee have found incredible consistency by running offshore to the deeper summer lines. We are setting up our trolling patterns anywhere from 150 to 220 feet of water, running north and south of the main harbor gaps. We are getting tons of action from Chinhook Salmon, jumbo Coho Salmon, and high-leaping Steelhead.
Racine Report: Heavy Coolers & Double-Digit Trout
Down the coast, anyone booking a charter fishing Racine excursion is stepping into prime summer forms. The Coho bite remains reliable, but the average size of these fish has jumped up, with many putting up an awesome, heavy fight. We are focusing on the 90 to 140-foot drops, targeting the temperature breaks. Dropping our heaviest downrigger balls close to the bottom has produced big, double-digit Lake Trout, while our mid-range lines are staying packed with hard-hitting salmon.
