Wisconsin’s 80-mile-long Door Peninsula, nicknamed the “Cape Cod of the Midwest,” has a deep-rooted maritime history shaped by over 300 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline.
The Henriksen Fisheries crew works aboard the Roamer, Captain Charlie Henriksen's fishing boat. The crew catches Lake Michigan whitefish that is delivered the same day to restaurants around Door County.
Once upon a time, the Roamer was a 1969 Chris Craft three-cabin yacht. Charlie Henriksen and his son yanked out the seats, welded it into a proper fishing boat, painted it shamrock green and proudly topped it with an American flag. “It can be difficult at times, but a boat ride every morning and the anticipation of what you will catch is rewarding,” Charlie Henriksen said. “If the fish goddess is good, we can handle 3,000 to 4,000 pounds.”
Capt. Charlie Henriksen, right, works with John Koessl. Henriksen and his crew fish year-round, as weather permits. A black iron cauldron is used for the fish boil at the White Gull Inn. Kerosine is poured into the fire toward the end of the fish boil to create a large flame and the impressive boilover effect.
