Fishing within McKinley Marina

There have been many complaints regarding fishing within the McKinley Marina basin. The fishermen are allowed to fish within the marina basin and fairways providing they are "position fishing". This is defined as casting from a stationary boat, but not anchored. They are not allowed to troll or tie to any dock or wall. If you observe any violations of these rules contact the DNR warden or Milwaukee County Sheriff. The marina staff cannot enforce these rules.

The DNR warden is David Oginski, he can be reached at (414) 263-8549 or email at david.oginskijr@wisconsin.gov

The Wisconsin DNR Tip Hotline number is 1-800-TIP-WDNR (1-800-847-9367) or from your cell phone dial #367.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff non-emergency phone number is (414) 278-4788.
