We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Greg and his first mate, Shane. From the time we got on the boat until we headed back to the marina, they made sure everyone in our family had a great time. They were especially good with our three teenagers, answered all of our questions, and took the time to explain what they were doing throughout the trip. The boat was very comfortable, the weather was perfect, and Greg was just a great guy to spend the morning with. He was easy to talk to, shared a lot of knowledge, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Shane was just as friendly and worked hard all morning to keep us on fish and make sure everyone was having fun. The fishing was excellent. We caught several steelhead, including a 30-inch, 10.5-pound fish that Greg said was only a couple pounds away from being tournament caliber. With the weather being so nice and a little extra time available, Greg took us to one more fishing spot before heading back to the marina. We really appreciated him making the most of the great conditions. If you’re looking for a charter with great people who genuinely care about giving you a memorable experience, we highly recommend Captain Greg and Shane. We had an amazing day and are already looking forward to fishing with them again the next time we’re in Milwaukee.

This was my first fishing charter, and I couldn’t have picked a better captain. Chris is down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and put us right on the fish. Even during a tougher time of year, he came through and helped me fill the freezer with salmon. I highly recommend High Life Fishing Charter.
