Fishin Da Net offers one of the best Port Washington WI fishing charters for anyone eager to enjoy a rewarding experience on Lake Michigan. From Lake Michigan salmon fishing to hooking into Trout, this charter gives you access to some of the best action around. Depending on the season, you could reel in Coho or Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lake Trout, and Brown Trout.

At the helm is Captain Dave, a seasoned local guide who knows where the fish are biting. His 28’ Sea Ray comfortably fits up to four adults, or six if younger kids are along for the ride. Outfitted with all the gear you’ll need—from rods and reels to electronics and safety equipment—the boat is ready for whatever the lake brings. There's even a bathroom on board, making longer trips more comfortable.

Planning a family outing? Kids are always welcome on board! If you don’t have a child-sized life jacket, just ask ahead of time. You’re encouraged to bring your own drinks and snacks to stay energized throughout the trip. This is a great way to introduce younger anglers to Lake Michigan fishing in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Capt. Dave and his first mate handle all the technical work, from setting lines to scouting productive spots, so you can focus on reeling in your catch. After you’ve landed your fish, they’ll clean it up so it’s ready to take home. Whether you’re after Port Washington salmon fishing or targeting Trout, this charter takes the stress out of the process.

Before boarding, anglers 16 and older will need a valid Wisconsin fishing license and a Great Lakes Trout and Salmon stamp—easy to grab online. Don’t forget to pack sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and weather-appropriate layers. Moderate alcohol is allowed, but skip the hard liquor and glass containers. Mates work hard to make your trip great, so a 15–20% tip is always appreciated. Ready to fish? Lake Michigan salmon fishing with Fishin Da Net is the experience you’ve been looking for.
