Captain Hooks Fishing Adventures–Ice Fishing
If you're looking for a fun and memorable family outing, turn to Captain Hooks Fishing Adventures for an exciting ice fishing expedition! If you've never had the chance to fish on ice, then Captain Pat Wingo will gladly show you how it's done.
From mid-December to mid-March, you get the opportunity to hit one of the many lakes in the Oneida or Vilas County and explore their ice fishing potential. Depending on ice conditions, you will either walk or drive (on four wheelers or in trucks) to the best fishing spots.
The captain will either bring a portable heated ice shack or you will go to one of the permanent ones located on the most productive fishing grounds. All shacks have heating, a grill, sonar, and an underwater camera so you will fish in full comfort. Capt. Pat will even drill holes in the ice for you, so you just need to drop your line and wait for the bite.
When it comes to your catch, your main targets are Northern Pike, Crappie, and Walleye and the bite is excellent despite the low temperatures. Your guide will have all the necessary fishing equipment for you, and he'll even fillet everything for you after the trip.
On your side, you should bring a Wisconsin fishing license, drinks, snacks, and lunch on longer trips. After that, your ice fishing escapades with Captain Hooks Fishing Adventures can begin!

Pat was amazing. He did everything for us ladies, baited the hooks filleted the fish, and made us feel comfortable and made it a lot of fun our first time Ice fishing. Bonus he played great music
Great day on the Frozen Water !!
This was a first time Ice Fishing experience for my wife and she was very hesitant and nervous, but when we arrived at the dock and met Pat, our “captain”, she quickly was put at ease. Pat had prepared everything ahead of us and we were fishing in no time. Even though this year’s weather was not the best, we caught some fish. I highly recommend Captain Hooks Fishing Adventure.
Pat was awesome. We showed up and he was waiting to haul us out to where he had everything set up and ready with vexlar’s for everyone. He got us on the fish asap but unfortunately the fish weren’t in the biting mood. Pat refused to take any money. But the time and effort this man puts into taking care of his customers is first rate. He did his job getting us on fish and that’s all apart of fishing. He can’t make the fish hungry and wanna bite. I told him there was no way he wasn’t getting paid for all the pre-work and set up. Then after we left, Pat went back to pack up and had some issues with his sled due to the foot of slush on top of the ice already and had to call a recovery service. He’s out there doing this all by himself to make sure his customers have the best experience and whether we’re successful catching fish these guides deserve every penny they charge. These guys put too much time and effort day in and day out to not make enough money. I just hope people take into consideration that they earn their money even if you don’t catch fish. He’s the only guide I’ll ever use in that area and already booked for walleyes this spring. It’s guides like Pat that get the repeat customers. Plus I found out he was from the same town were from, before he and his wife packed up 25 years ago and headed north. Can’t say enough good things about him and look forward to hammering some walleye’s in a few months. Thanks Pat, your the best.
Too kind - thank You Jeremy!!
Captain and his son had everything set up before we got there and they supplied us with everything we needed! We were able to get on some fish and had a great time!
Pat is a great guide. Knows the area and his craft like a pro. Would highly recommend for any fishing season.
