We got off to a strong start, landing a solid salmon within the first 15 minutes and another soon after. Things slowed down later, but the captain worked hard and even gave us an extra hour on the water. The weather was perfect, and the captain, crew, and boat were all great. If I make it back to Kenosha to fish again, I’d book this boat without hesitation.

My wife and I had an amazing time fishing with Captain Mike this weekend! The morning started off a bit slow, but Mike worked hard to try different tactics until we found the fish—and it definitely paid off! He's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to accommodate us when we had to shift our trip due to the weather. We highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Mike and Dahl Charters!
