World-class Chinook & STEELHEAD fishing Charter on Lake Michigan — right out of Kenosha, WI.

Lake Michigan Has Never Looked This Good from the Bow of a Boat

Kenosha sits at the heart of some of the best trophy fishing in the Midwest — and nobody knows these waters like Captain Jeff. On a Feelin Fishy charter, you’re targeting coho salmon, chinook, and steelhead using proven techniques honed over years of running these exact stretches of Lake Michigan.

Whether you’re bringing the family out for a bucket-list day on the water or you’re a hardcore angler chasing a personal best, we’ll match the experience to you. No fishing experience? No problem. We’ll handle the gear, the bait, and the know-how — you just reel ’em in.

What's Out Here Waiting For You

Chinook

The heavyweight. The reason you come back every year. Lake Michigan’s most prized trophy fish. Kings run big, fight hard, and the moment one hits your line, you’ll understand why anglers plan entire seasons around them.

COHO

Fast, fierce, and absolutely electric on the line. Don’t let the size fool you — coho are pure adrenaline. Aggressive strikes and a fight that’ll have your arms burning by the end. Not to mention, they make delicious table fare. Perfect for first-timers and seasoned anglers alike.

Steelhead

The fish that humbles you — and keeps you chasing. Powerful, unpredictable, acrobatic runs, and legendary for a reason. Steelhead push you to your limit and reward you with one of the most satisfying catches Lake Michigan has to offer.

Brown Trout

Elusive, cunning, and absolutely worth the hunt. Brown trout don’t give themselves up easily — and that’s exactly what makes landing one so satisfying. Known for their unpredictable behavior and hard-charging runs, browns are the fish that keeps experienced anglers on their toes and coming back for more.

Lake Trout

Deep, powerful, and built like a freight train. Lake trout live in the cold depths of Lake Michigan and fight like it. When one takes the line, you feel it in your whole body. A laker on the deck is a serious trophy — and proof that you were willing to go where most anglers don’t.

Why Anglers Choose Feelin Fishy

A Captain Who's Been Tested

Jeff has been reading Lake Michigan since 1988 — long before it was ever a business. A Marine Corps veteran with two combat tours, he brings the same calm under pressure, attention to detail, and safety-first mindset to every trip.

Since launching Feelin Fishy in 2018, he’s fished waters from Washington Island all the way down to Chicago, racking up consistent top-contender finishes on the tournament circuit. This isn’t luck. It’s a lifetime of precision.

His First Mate? His Son.

Raised on these same waters with a rod in hand almost from day one, Jeff’s youngest son turned that lifelong passion into something remarkable — claiming the championship and the $20,000 top prize at Salmon-A-Rama 2015.

Together they bring a combination of experience, chemistry, and drive you won’t find on just any boat.
