About Captain Riley Hemme
Captain Riley Hemme is a fully insured U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain guiding anglers on the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
Riley grew up fishing Green Bay, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding waters. From a young age, he developed a deep passion for fishing and quickly became dedicated to mastering the sport. During high school, he competed in Wisconsin’s Master Angler program, where he focused heavily on multi-species fishing. In his final year, Riley caught 32 of the 34 eligible species and was awarded Master Angler of the Year in the state of Wisconsin.
After high school, Riley began pursuing a career in the fishing industry and shifted his focus toward the premier species that Green Bay and Lake Michigan have to offer. Over the years he has dedicated countless hours to targeting walleye, salmon, trout, and bass, along with many other species found in these waters.
