Hey there, anglers! Looking to hook into some serious walleye action? Our 5-hour fishing trips are just the ticket. We're talking non-stop trolling for these tasty fighters, with lines in the water from sunup to lunchtime or all afternoon. Whether you're a seasoned pro or bringing the whole family for their first big catch, we've got you covered. Let's break down what makes this trip a can't-miss for any walleye enthusiast.
Here's the scoop: we launch at the crack of dawn (6 AM) or after lunch (1 PM), depending on your preference. You'll be out on the water for a solid 5 hours or until you hit your limit – whichever comes first. And let me tell you, the way these walleye have been biting lately, you might be heading back to the dock with a full cooler before you know it. We can take up to 4 people comfortably, but if you've got a bigger crew, no worries. We can accommodate up to 6 for a bit extra. Just picture it: you and your buddies, hauling in walleye after walleye, with nothing but open water and good times ahead.
Now, let's talk shop. We're not just drifting around hoping for a bite – we're on a mission. Trolling is the name of the game here, and it's how we consistently put our guests on fish. We'll be using top-notch gear, rigged up with the hottest lures that walleye can't resist. Think crawler harnesses, crankbaits, and maybe even some custom rigs that the walleye around here go nuts for. We'll be covering water, adjusting our speed and depth until we find that sweet spot where the big ones are hanging out. And once we're on them, hold onto your hats – it's going to be fish-on all day long.

"We took the whole family out—including three little ones under 5—for a fishing trip with Captain Shaun and had an amazing time! The kids had a blast, we all felt safe and well taken care of, and the fishing was nonstop. We'd absolutely go again and highly recommend Captain Shaun to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly outing." - Joseph
"We celebrated Father's Day with three generations on board and had an unforgettable time! Caught a ton of fish and made some great memories. Captain Shaun went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend booking with him!" - Debra
Let's talk about why walleye are such a blast to catch. These golden-eyed predators are known for their fight and their flavor. They typically run 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if we hook into a real trophy – 10-pounders aren't unheard of in these waters. Walleye are crafty fighters, often diving for cover when hooked, so be ready for some serious rod-bending action. And here's a cool fact: walleye have reflective eyes that help them see in low light, which is why they're such active feeders in the early morning and late afternoon. That's why we time our trips to hit those prime feeding windows. When it comes to eating, walleye are hard to beat. Their white, flaky meat is considered by many to be the best-tasting freshwater fish out there. So not only will you have a great time catching them, but you'll also have an amazing dinner to look forward to.
Listen, I've been guiding these waters for years, and I can tell you – there's something special about walleye fishing here. Maybe it's the thrill of feeling that first tug on the line, or the satisfaction of reeling in a cooler full of fish. Or maybe it's just the peace of being out on the water with good company, watching the sun rise (or set) as you wait for the next big hit. Whatever it is, our guests keep coming back year after year for more. And it's not just about the fish – though that's a big part of it. It's about the whole experience: the camaraderie, the stories, the laughs, and yes, the bragging rights when you get back to shore with your limit of walleye.
Alright, folks – if you're itching to get out there and tangle with some walleye, now's the time to lock in your spot. Whether you're planning a family outing, a trip with your fishing buddies, or even a corporate team-building day, we've got you covered. Remember, we're talking 5 hours of non-stop fishing action, with all the gear you need and the know-how to put you on the fish. And at $550 for up to 4 people, it's a steal for a day of memories (and delicious fillets) that'll last a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call, and let's get you out on the water. The walleye are biting, and your next big catch is waiting!

Our captain went above and beyond to make sure the trip was a success—he didn’t stop the entire time! He even cleaned and filleted our fish before we headed out. Highly recommend!

Walleye are sleek, golden-olive fish that put up a great fight and taste even better on the table. These crafty predators typically grow 15-30 inches long and hunt best in low light. You'll find them near rocky structure or along weed edges, usually in 10+ feet of water. They move shallower to feed at night or during spring spawning runs. Summer and fall are prime walleye seasons when they school up. What makes them fun to catch is their aggressive strike and powerful runs. Plus, that flaky white meat is hard to beat for fish fries. To land a nice 'eye, try slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and nightcrawler harnesses. Work those breaklines where deep water meets shallow flats. When you feel that telltale tap-tap-tap, set the hook hard - walleye have bony mouths. Don't forget to check your local regulations. Walleye are carefully managed in many areas to keep populations healthy for years to come. Nothing beats the satisfaction of releasing a trophy to fight another day.
