My friend Gary and I just finished up 2 (8/15 & 8/16) spectacular days of fishing with Shane Lemke owner of Salmon Chaser Charters.If anyone wants a great experience and catch their limit quickly each day, Shane is your Captain. Coho, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Pink Coho and more, he works hard every minute. The man knows fishing.We’ll be doing a repeat next year for sure. Maybe Spring also.

Shane went above and beyond to make sure my family had a wonderful time. My daughter asked him fishing questions for the entire 6 hours and he answered them gladly. I would highly recommend fishing with Shane if you want to catch a lot of fish and have a blast while doing it!

My friend Mike & I spent the last two mornings with Captain Shane (8/15, 8/16/2022) and we got our limits within 4 hours each morning! Captain Shane was amazing- he works his tail off and puts us on nice fish very quickly! He made sure we got the whole variety-Lakers, Coho, Steelhead, Kings, and even pink salmon! This was truly an unforgettable trip! If you don't give Shane a call- you're missing out big time!

Captain Shane is by far the best charter captain! He knows knows his stuff and isn’t one of those captains that has to keep everything secret, he explained every question we had with full detail! It was like being out with one of the boys!! Can’t recommend him enough!!

A spur of the moment trip for my birthday turned into a really great and fun experience thanks to Captain Shane and his boat, Salmon Chaser. His knowledge, great equipment, and very comfortable and roomy boat give a person their best chance to be very successful at reeling in some great quality fish. Captain Shane will work very hard for you to make your trip a memorable one.

Today was a cool experience, first time doing a charter on Lake Michigan. It was a great trip, caught my limit in cohos. Shane was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating for less experienced fishers. The gear was all very nice and top of line stuff. Very easy to use and user friendly. Overall I'd definitely do another trip with Salmon Chasers. Worth every penny

My brother chartered Salmon Chaser for us, our brother in law, and three of our young sons. What a great time!! Captain Shane worked his tail off. Kept us on good fish until we were worn-out. Thanks Captain Shane!!

If your looking for a way to get out on the lake make sure you hit up salmon chaser. Shane did a great job getting all of us on fish. We caught our bag limit in just about the first spot he took us too.

Captain Shane is the best in the business! He knows where the fish are, and how to get even the youngest of kids involved in the passion of reeling in a "big one!". Great family or corporate outing. We would highly recommend Captain Shane and Salmon Chaser Charters!

I've been fishing with captain Shane for 15 years now and every year I book a charter and the guy flat out can put you on the fish..His experience and attention to detail on the water is by far one of the best. He has the best gear available to make sure you are comfortable and the chance to land your next trophy..

Captain Shane chases, finds and catches Salmon. Period!This guy really knows his business. The boat is well maintained, clean, everything is in working order and all equipment is well organized and tidy.He was great with our boys. We had a ten year old and two twelve year old's and yes they all three made it back to shore. He keep them in check and answered all their questions.We absolutely killed it out there. Although, I'd have to give some of the credit to the chum me and one of the boys deposited over the side of the boat. :)If you are looking for a successful charter you can stop the endless internet search and book Shane. You will not be disappointed.Thanks Captain we had a blast.

Just completed another 2 day trip with Captain Shane. He is amazing and works his butt off to make sure everyone has an enjoyable time. He always gets quality fish in the boat. Best of all he will cancel if the weather is poor and doesn't feel obligated to take people out in rough conditions. Our group has fished with him for years. Thanks again Capt. Shane!

I go down to Racine every year for Salmon-a-Rama and use to bring my own boat but after fishing with Shane I quit bringing my boat down and just fish with him now because he’s that good. His experience and knowledge of Lake Michigan is incredible and I’m just wasting my time not being from around there. In my opinion there are really only two charters in the area to go with Salmon Chaser and 24 VII Charters if you want the best.

I have fished with many of different charters and this captain is top notch. Always professional and knows his stuff. We went out 3 days straight and bagged out all three. I’m gonna suggest Salmon Chaser Charters to all my buddies for the next trip.

We could not have had a better experience. Captain Shane is an expert charter captain and expert salmon fisherman. He found fish. He expertly handled 11 separate lines, including fishing line tangles that would have ruined my day if I was in his position. Although we didn't expect to limit out, we did. And it included two giant King Salmons. We are really happy we chose Salmon Chasers for our outing.

Awesome Captain/guide/charter you can see him getting disturbed when fish are not being caught... 3 times I’ve went with Shane now and all 3 times we were off the water by 10:30 with a limit of fillets!! I will be back again.......and againJB

We have fished with Captain Shane multiple times on Salmon and Rainbow Trout runs. The boat is great, the service is even better and his prices make it affordable. Want to make it a great day for a family or business outing, please consider riding onboard the Salmon Chaser. That's for another great fishing trip Capt Shane!

Fished on the Salmon Chaser with Captain Shane May 23 ,24, 2017. Had a great time and caught lots of fish. Only three fish short of our limit for two days of fishing. Captain Shane worked hard to put us on fish and was very accomidating. I can't wait to go again. I would highly recommend Salmon Chaser Charters.

Booked our first Salmon Charter with only online reviews to go by.Captain Shane was very different from what I expected. Not only did he get us on fish within 30 minutes of leaving the marina, he took the time to explain why the fish were behaving the way they were (Big storm coming!).He was exceptionally knowledgeable, personable, and quite frankly, fun to be around. His equipment was all quality stuff. Nobody had any technical issues whatsoever. The boat was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Captain Shane was CONSTANTLY working between driving the boat, netting fish, changing lures and making sure everyone had what they needed.Everyone in my group agreed that when we come back, it'll only be with Captain Shane's Charter. I would 100% recommend him.
