Salmon fishing charters

[loosegoose]

I'm planning on bringing my wife and two kids salmon fishing on Lake Michigan this summer. I'm looking for some recommendation on decent fishing charters from Sheboygan and north. Thanks.

If you haven't yet decided where you are going to stay then I would suggest going out of Sturgeon Bay or north up the peninsula. You'll find the most charter options in Sturgeon Bay and the fewest in Gills Rock but each port has good captains. There are two reasons we go from those ports. First, I can get my boat on the water SOMEWHERE no matter the wind direction (not a big deal for you if you are chartering). Second, There are a lot of things to do on the Door, particularly on the western shore, once you are off the water. Check out the chamber of commerce HSOforum for Door County for a good listing of charters, lodging, etc.

Just thinking about those kings gets me worked up. Up at 0330 to be on the water, off by 0900. Back at it by 1700 and done for the day at 2200. Gets a little grueling if you are more than 4 days at it but it ain't vacation if you don't come home beat down tired with sore arms...

I'll show you vacation Lota! Those are bankers hours compared to Algoma. Are you coming on that trip? I know you want to and we have room on the Crib for more boats.

If you do stay south I would recomend Kinn's Catch out of Algoma. They have a HSOforum and are pretty competitive. We only outfished one of their boats one morning out of 7 last year.
