If you're ready to go fishing in Sheboygan, look no further than Happy Hooker Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matt knows them forwards and back.
Chinook Salmon, Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll.
Your boat for the day is Sheboygans newest charter boat a 37 foot Ocean Yachts that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Connor Mcfarland5.0VerifiedLegendary trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 25, 2026 • 6 adultsWe had an legendary trip with Happy Hooker Charter! We caught 10 fish and were just one species away from landing the Lake Michigan Grand Slam. The captain and first mate were both incredibly sociable, knowledgeable and took the time to explain how everything worked, which made the experience even better. The boat was also very comfortable, with a cabin that had a couch to relax on and a bathroom, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you’re new to salmon fishing or have done it for years, I highly recommend booking with Happy Hooker Charter. We’ll definitely be back!
Tucker Gegenfurtner5.0VerifiedBest trip ever!
Evening trip on September 27, 2026 • 6 adultsA group of buddies and I, very new to this type of fishing went out not knowing what to expect. Captain Matt and his crew were phenomal at teaching us what to do, and enjoy the fun along with us. its not just a job to them its what they love to do. Trust when i say this, they know how to put you on some fish and get you action, with this passion it will never be a let down going out with them no matter how many fish are caught.
