Meet Captains Patrick and Alex

Let Black Pearl Sport Fishing make your dream fishing adventure a reality! This Lake Michigan fishing charter company is owned and operated by Keith Gajeski. Trips are run by a seasoned duo of Captains: Captain Patrick Wudtke, and Alex Ebben from May-October.

From The Guides:

Captain Pat: I grew up fishing the small creeks, ponds, and lakes around my house. As I got older, I was introduced to fishing on Green Bay and Lake Michigan by some very dear friends to my family. Fishing is a passion of mine, as well as being outdoors in general. I sincerely enjoy sharing outdoor experiences with others, especially families and children who are just getting started as young fishermen and fisherwomen. Each year my passion for Great Lakes Fishing grows deeper. I look forward to meeting you, and providing you and your group a fun, exciting, and memorable day on the water with Black Pearl Sportfishing!

Captain Alex: I am a USCG licensed Captain with CPR and First Aid training. I have been fishing on Green Bay and Lake Michigan since I have been old enough to hold a fishing pole in my hands. Growing up, I spent many summers first mating for my Father (Captain Brian Ebben) and I knew right then that I needed to share my passion for fishing with others. Nothing gets me more excited than watching others catch the biggest fish of their life and share those stories and memories with their family and friends. My top goal as a captain is to give you a successful day on the water both by catching fish and sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport so you can use it to catch fish on your own.

Boat Details:

You'll be exploring the amazing waters of Lake Michigan on a 33' Tiara 3000 Open, equipped with all the latest equipment and gear that will quickly and safely get you on the fish. This vessel can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests with plenty of space to spare.

Black Pearl Sport Fishing guarantees a wonderful day on the water that will make everyone want to come back for more, or never leave at all!
