No matter if you're a beginner or seasoned angler, TheHautdoors guarantee an action-filled trip on Buffalo Lake for everyone! Your guide for the day, Greg Haut, is a Wisconsin native and expert tournament Bass angler. He knows all the best spots on the lake to get you hooked up and is glad to customize your trip based on your preferences and level of experience.

Greg welcomes you on his 21' Ranger bass boat, outfitted with top-quality fishing gear, a GPS, fishfinder, and safety equipment. His boat is ideal for Bass fishing in skinny waters. Its shallow hull allows easy maneuverability through low-lying areas while its pultruded fiberglass material provides durability and stability while fishing. She accommodates up to 3 guests comfortably, including kids ages 6 and up, and there's more than enough space for seating and storage.

You can expect non-stop action the moment you hit the water. Buffalo Lake is known for its prolific fisheries and provides some of the best topwater action in the state. These shallow waters are swarming with Panfish, Walleye, Northern Pike, Musky, and Largemouth Bass. You'll be able to target all these species while either jigging or spinning, using top-of-the-line gear sponsored by Wright McGill, Trokar and more.

Greg will also offer to clean and fillet your catch for a small additional fee so that you can take it home for a savory meal. All you have to do is purchase a Wisconsin Fishing License before your trip and everything else will be covered. Last but not least, feel free to pack yourself some food and drinks for the ride, be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and extra layers, and you're all set.

The only thing left for you to do is click on that Instant Book button at the top and start planning out your exciting adventure. Invite the family for a fun day of fishing on Buffalo Lake and get ready to create lasting memories with TheHautdoors!

    Even though we were in between storms, the water was high, and the current was fast. Today’s client was able to accomplish his goal of catching some bass. He learned new techniques and had a great day out on the water. We managed to make it just before the downpour took everybody off the lake.

    Many great laughs, lost fish, and memories were made on Buffalo lake today. These two boys started out by learning the basics and I mean basics from knot tying to casting to lure identification. They caught fish and had a blast with their father. Couldn’t ask for anything better!
