We got off to a strong start, landing a solid salmon within the first 15 minutes and another soon after. Things slowed down later, but the captain worked hard and even gave us an extra hour on the water. The weather was perfect, and the captain, crew, and boat were all great. If I make it back to Kenosha to fish again, I’d book this boat without hesitation.

This was my first fishing charter, and I couldn’t have picked a better captain. Chris is down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and put us right on the fish. Even during a tougher time of year, he came through and helped me fill the freezer with salmon. I highly recommend High Life Fishing Charter.

Chris did a great job putting us on fish. Not long after the rods were set, we picked up our first King. By the end of the day we had 5 bites and landed 2 Kings and a Coho. His easygoing style made the whole trip relaxed and enjoyable. Great weather, solid fishing, and a really good day on the water.

This was my third trip with Captain Chris, and this time I brought my daughters and grandkids. We had a great time, even on a slower day. We caught three big Lake Trout and a young Chinook, and honestly couldn’t ask for more. Such a fun day on the water.

We spent the morning on a family trip with Captain Chris, and he made the whole experience easy and fun. He knows the Kenosha fishing grounds well and is just a great guy to be on the water with. Everyone in our group caught multiple fish and learned a lot about the area. We’ll definitely be back to fish with Captain Chris again.

Fantastic first-time experience for our group! Although it was late in the season, we had an amazing time and caught several monster fish! The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us clear, honest options when heading into rough waters. We’re definitely booking another trip next year. Thanks to Captain Chris and Mike for an unforgettable day on the water!

Captain Chris Rugg knows these waters like the back of his hand! I wasn’t expecting much during the slower season, but we ended up catching 3 Lake Trout, 4 Kings, and believe it or not, a 10-12 lb Flathead Catfish. It was delicious! Definitely an unforgettable trip with a knowledgeable captain!

Great day on the water fishing! We went in the afternoon, so the catch was a bit hit and miss, but we still found fish and brought home 8. Thanks, Captain!

We wanted our son to have a fantastic fishing experience for his 11th birthday, and Captain Chris did not disappoint. Not only did we catch some fish, but my nephew also learned a lot about filleting fish from Captain Chris and his crew. We’ll definitely be booking him again!

We didn’t catch much fish, but it was so relaxing, and Captain Chris was an all-around great guy. The fish we did catch were huge and fun to reel in. We’ll definitely try High Life again, hopefully with family!
