Captain Hooks Fishing Adventures invites you to a day of fishing fun and games on numerous prolific lakes of Oneida and Vilas Counties! With Captain Pat Wingo at the helm, you will hit some of the most productive fishing grounds in the area and learn how to land the biggest fish.

If you're a freshwater enthusiast, then you've come to the right place, because these waters are teeming with the most prized game fish. This means you can expect a wide range of species on your hook – from Bluegill and Crappie to both Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Musky, and Northern Pike.

You'll use light tackle for Crappie and Bluegill, while heavy tackle is reserved for Musky that can grow to impressive sizes. If you're going after Walleye and Bass, then jigging is a recipe for success.

Capt. Pat will provide reliable Fenwick and Shimano fishing equipment, as well as live bait and lures. After the trip, he'll clean and fillet the catch, if you'd like, so that you can cook it as soon as you come home.

Come aboard a 21' Alumacraft boat with a 150 HP Yamaha engine and you'll be on your way to the best hot spots in no time. There's room on the boat for up to 4 anglers, and the whole group can fish at the same time. The quality navigational equipment will lead the way to your prey and then, it's your time to shine.

It doesn't matter whether you're coming with a group of friends, your family, or you're hosting a corporate activity, Capt. Pat will go out of his way to organize everything for you. The only thing you should think about is buying fishing licenses, dressing warmly, and bringing a supply of food and drinks.

Captain Hooks Fishing Adventures will show you what great fishing action is all about!

Can’t say enough about Captain Pat.
Half Day Trip on July 26, 20262 adults

Took my grandson to his first fishing trip with Captain Pat. Every spot we stopped we caught fish. A great experience. Only downside was a major storm that cut short our 2nd day. All I can say is that I would recommend Captain Pat wholeheartedly. His equipment, knowledge of fishing and where the fish are, and his personality made this a fun trip. We will be back.

Reported catch:
Walleye
Crappie
Northern Pike

Great guide
Full Day Trip on September 5, 20254 adults

We had less than ideal conditions, cold front of 40* came in (major drop in temps for the time of year) September 5th. Pat had us on fish drove exactly to where they were but due to the cold front, windy conditions and starting to rain we just couldn’t get them to bite. Treated us extremely well when it was time to settle up. Even when we all agree’d to pack it in early due to the conditions. Will be booking a trip with him again in the future!
