    Thoroughly impressed. Shane runs an outstanding operation. He dialed into the fish quickly using his electronics and even talked to other captains on the water to keep us on the action. If the trip isn’t successful, it wouldn’t be for lack of effort—Shane does everything he can to put you on fish. His work ethic is exceptional, resetting lines immediately after every catch while keeping the deck clean, organized, and safe.He also provided great coaching throughout the trip so everyone knew how to properly fight and land the salmon. Overall, an outstanding experience with a top-notch captain. Highly recommend!

    Amazing day out on the Lake with Captain Shane. Caught our limit of Coho Salmon in about 4 hours. Amazing experience. He will definitely be our go to guy out of Kenosha. 100% recommended.

    IMO,Captain Shane is the best charter on Lake Michigan. Great guy with lots of fun stories. He’s now family.

    Great fishing with Captain Shane. Highly recommend! He knew where to go and what to use to limit out a half dozen anglers in short order. He was actively involved in switching baits to keep us catching fish pretty consistently. Honestly, he was working his tail off the whole time in addition to razzing one of our guys (who’d been out with Mike before) intermittently, lol. Super great time. I’ve been on charters up and down the East Coast, West Coast, a multitude of freshwater locations and Captain Shane’s Salmon Chaser Charter boat, equipment, skills, etc rank up there with the best.
