Fishing for salmon and trout on a 38 foot motor yacht is an experience that all can enjoy. 23 years experience and the latest in tackle almost always guarantees success. The method of fishing on Lake Michigan is motor trolling. On the Blue Max we troll with up to 14 rods. As the boat moves through the water, the captain and customers set tackle to provide an artificial lure to the fish at all potential water depths.

We had an amazing experience with BlueMax Charters. Jim and Anita were exceptional -- fun, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Most important to me, they made it a great experience for our group inlcuding people age 85 to age 11, attending to unique needs for everyone. The boat and equipment were top-notch. It was an absolutely priceless experience that my kids, nephew and parents will always remember. It would have been awesome even if we never caught a fish -- catching a bunch of monsters made it even more fun. I would absolutely recommend BlueMax without any reservations!

My wife and I had a great time fishing with Jim and Anita this past week. We did the weekday special which made them the least expensive full service charter by far. We've fished with bigger outfits in Sheboygan and this felt less rushed and more friendly. We really liked that Jim encourages you to watch the lines and grab the pole if there's a fish on. So you're not just watching him do everything. We caught four fish and had four others get away while reeling them in so good action.

Spent this last Saturday morning out on the lake with Jim and Anita of Blue Max Charters! We opted to leave at 7am and had to wait a bit for one of the bridges to lift to let us through on the way out to Lake Michigan. It was only a 5-10 min delay, but Jim & Anita tacked on an extra 30-45 minutes of fishing to make up for the delay! As a relatively inexperienced fisher, Jim was very informative and has a number of years of experience out on the lake. We caught a few large trout and some coho salmon! Was a ton of fun and Jim took care of all of the messy work and we left with some huge

So coming from California to go fishing there was a lot of things I was looking for. I called a few places around Milwaukee and one thing that lingered was no catch no pay. Something in California we don't hear very often because well sometimes you just get skunked and it sucks but happens. So I've been fishing for a good 15 years and always ocean fishing never fresh water, thought to myself let's go lake fishing and see what we get? Calling blue max charters, I spoke directly to Capt Jim and he always answered every time or at least would contact me back within 2 minutes. I was

Went out with captain Jim and his wife Anita last week and had a great time. I really have no complaints since we got to bring whatever we wanted to eat and drink and we caught a bunch of awesome tasting salmon.
The excursion was really easy, just meet at Rock Bottom at 6:45, board up, get a fishing license, pay a fee, and you're off. All the real work of baiting the fish is done by Jim, and he'll show you how to do it if you're interested. When a fish hits a line, somebody reels it in, and Jim takes care of it, even cleans the fish for you on the way back in.
