A well kept secret about the Lake Michigan fishery,

is the tremendous off-shore steelhead action

unique to our area.

The Waverly II, with it's twin turbo diesel engines,

can quickly put you smack in the middle of some

of the best fishing in the world.

Milwaukee's proximity to deep water and it's mid lake mountain range creates swift currents and insect holding slicks.

Located 15-20 miles off-shore are some of the most pristine waters on the Great Lakes. These waters are perfect habitat for sky-rocketing steelhead.

 The offshore action is unbelievable this time of year.... this stud Steelhead was 17.5 lbs!

Depending on the time of year it's not uncommon to have 20-25 fish on the line.

Steelhead are a challenge as these beauties sky out of the water -that's why they are considered a true sport fish!
