Fishing has been good. Now is a great time to go if you want coho salmon.

The boat is prepped and set to hit the water tomorrow — Fresh paint buffed and waxed. If weather cooperates I will be taking trips as early as May 13th. Give me a call. 262.227.9507.

The burning question with a million bad answers (or maybe one great one). Summer in Sheboygan is a busy time!  Our town expands along the lakeshore for miles in either direction of our crown jewel Sheboygan’s riverfront.  Because of the orientation of our small city attractions are quite spread out which gives our town of … Read more "When is the...

YUUUUUUUUP!  You found it!  Welcome to the all new Playin’ Hooky Blog!  I’ll have to admit when there is such a vast array of fishing knowledge locked inside this big ol’ smart fit and handsome brain of mine it’s pretty intimidating trying to figure out how we unpack all of this.  To quote the great … Read more "History of Lake Michigan Fishery" T...

The Outcast is in the water and fishing has been good. We have been catching mostly coho salmon with some kings and steelhead mixed in. If your looking to catch numbers or maybe even your limit now is a great time to book a charter out of Port Washington. Weekends are mostly full for this month and next but there are some weekdays available. We are...

For those of you who came to fish with me I'm grateful for your business and happy to provide you with an escape and a sport that wasn't actually cancelled this year. As we wait impatiently through winter to be able to fish the big water again we hope you have a...

Thank you to all those that fished aboard the Outcast this past se...
