the captain

Captain Mike Finke

Mike has been fishing Lake Michigan for over 40 years starting when he was 5. He started fishing professionally in 1996 in Minnesota doing guided fishing trips and fishing tournaments for walleye and bass. Starting in 2011 he became a Lake Michigan salmon charter captain in Two Rivers and has been taking people out full time since. He enjoys watching people catch the biggest fish of their lives and getting kids and women out to enjoy the lake. His goal is to get customers as many fish as possible and to have an enjoyable time on the boat. Mike recently moved to Sheboygan.

the first mate

First Mate Brandon Grimm

Brandon graduated out of Two Rivers high school and grew up here. He has spent more time fishing the piers and rivers here than about anyone I know. He is always fishing whether that be on ice, in a boat or from shore. He's probably done more different types of fishing in Wisconsin than anyone I know. Brandon has ran the most trips with me the last few years. He also guides from shore on the rivers for salmon and trout.

First Mate Brian Zwiers

Brian is a local that has fished the big lake for many years. Having recently retired he has even that much more time to fish himself and jump on with me. He's a great guy that you will for sure like spending time on the boat with and is phenomenal with kids. Just don't play him in a game of cribbage.

First Mate Blake Piontek

Blake grew up in the Two Rivers area. He had spent time small boat fishing on the lake as well as fishing salmon and trout off the pier heads. Blake also fishes walleyes and panfish around Wi. He ran full time with mw a few years before graduating college and getting his fancy job. We still get him out a few times a year.

First Mate Alex Richmond

Alex is another local guy that is a joy to have on the boat. Afternoons and weekends you can find him helping out. He's a good angler, and an avid waterfowler.

First Mate Ted Bonde

Once you fish with Ted, you will never forget him. Ted tangles is a local teacher and great with the kids. He is always on the go 150% and has stories on top of stories. He has been part of WIFA for many years.
