About Your Captain

Captain Al Johnson from Rainmaker IV Sport Fishing Charters in Kenosha Wisconsin

Let me introduce myself. I’m Captain Al Johnson. I grew up in Kenosha Wisconsin and have been fishing the waters between Milwaukee and Chicago (and further) for the past 30+ years. I started my career as a first mate when I was 13 years old, and have been a licensed Coast Guard Captain for since 1978. As full time Captain, I have in-depth knowledge of how to find the most, and the biggest fish consistently.  There simply is no substitute for being on the water everyday.

I was not sleeping at all or for only a few hours before Ambien CR was prescribed

I am licensed to fish both Wisconsin, and Illinois waters, for wide coverage to ensure the best fishing experience.  I have a track record for catching BIG FISH, and still hold the record for the largest King during Salmon A Rama.
