Milwaukee Charter Fishing

                This picture shows how devistating the bite can be just before dark fishing charters Milwaukee Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. These guys from Minnesota booked a trip with Silver King Charters for an evening in July and filled up on Chinook salmon. The trip started off slow but after the last fish was landed we had caught 18 out of 21 fish.

               The Chinook salmon were hitting right up until the trip ended and would have kept going for a couple of more hours. The guys were to short of a limit and decided that they were beat. Silver King Charters offers extra time for trips if you want to keep charter fishing Milwaukee Wisconsin salmon and trout. Just ask the captian and he will let you know the price for an additional hour.

              The guys started fighting fish as soon as we set lines but the bite slowed after the first couple of hours and we had boated 7 fish. For the next hour and a half we had a few bites but the fish didn't stick. I could see the Salmon hanging close to the bottom and I new if they started coming up off the bottom before the trip was over we would see some serious action.

              During the summer Salmon like, especially the big ones, will hang tight to the bottom during the day and start to come up and feed as the sun sets. This is why Silver King Charters likes to run evening Milwaukee fishing charters. It gives our clients the best action and usually a beautiful sunset.

              Around 7:00PM the guys were starting to make comments about how they were hoping to at least catch 10 fish and one of the guys said fat chance now. I looked over at him and said we probable won't catch 10, it will probably be more as I saw both side board rides explode with fish simultaneously.

             My brother and I handed off the rods and just as we did the two port side downrigger rods went. We had a 4 fish on and landed all four. Just as the last fish was in another board rod went followed by one on a dipsy and another on a rigger. We had a tripple header! These guys were on action overload. All three fish were landed and another lost while they fought these fish.

             We set lines as those fish were being fought and as soon as they came in we proceeded to land two more double headers totaling 18 Chinook Salmon. This is Wisconsin charter fishing at its best. During the action the guys lost a couple of more salmon but I don't think they minded. When the total weight was added up they had landed 200 pounds of fish and 2/3 of that came in the last hour.

            Charter fishing Milwaukee during the evenings is about very slow periods but some of the fastest action you have every experienced fishing. Give Silver King Charters a call at 414-460-1467 and book a trip to fish Lake Michigan in the evening this season.
