Your captains

We believe your trip should be the best in every possible way and our captains are dedicated to making sure you enjoy every minute of it. While getting you on the best bite, we explain the ecosystem, methods, equipment, shipwrecks, landmarks, and more. The experience sets us apart! 

Our captains have some of the most experience and knowledge when it comes to catching cold water species. Over the years, our captains have targeted many species across the country – everything from the Mississippi River, to the Bay of Green Bay, and West to the Rockies chasing trout. We know the habits of each species which allows us to quickly get you on the fish.

Travis Kornely

Captain

Captain Travis was born and raised in Port Washington, which fueled his love for fishing. While fishing Lake Michigan in his 17 ft. Glastron throughout high school was fun, he knew he wanted to do more with fishing once he graduated from college. Travis started first mating in 2012 and went on to get his captains license after graduating from UW-Platteville in 2014. He has enjoyed taking customers out on fishing charters ever since. Trav really prides himself on making sure every customer has a great experience. In addition to great fishing, he also loves striking up great conversation with everyone on the boat.

When Travis isn’t wearing his captain hat, he is wearing his teacher hat – teaching high school tech ed. He enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and two dogs. He also enjoys doing anything outdoors and is a pellet grilling enthusiast. Book a trip and ride along with Captain Trav and you are sure to have a great experience from start to finish.

Will Jewell

Captain

USCG captain Will Jewell comes from multiple generations of Lake Michigan anglers dating back over 50 years. His passion started as a young boy fishing with his father who was taught by his father out of the port of Milwaukee for trout and salmon both from shore and by boat. As the years went on his passion grew and with that so do his experience and knowledge of the lake and fishery. As time progressed he eventually decided to make Port Washington his home port on the lake where he has spent the last 15 years. After high school he started as a first mate which he continued for 5 years until he took the next step in achieving his captains license and that groomed him in the ways of charter fishing. 

For the last 6 seasons Captain Will has been consistently putting fish on the deck and bringing memories to old and new fishermen that will last a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and get out on the water with Captain Will.
