Explore Lake Geneva with Big Fish Guide Service and discover a fishing spot in Wisconsin you’ll want to return to! Whether you’re coming here to fill your cooler or enjoy excellent freshwater game fishing, Captain Joe Kieser has got your back.

Join him on his 21’ Ranger boat and he’ll teach you everything you need to know about how to hook a trophy fish in this lake. The vessel can fit up to 4 anglers, eager to enjoy this rich fishery. With a trolling motor, reliable electronics, and a live bait well, the boat has everything you could possibly need for a productive day on the water.

Whether you prefer half day or a full day trips that are on offer, you will target Muskies or different species such as Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, and Perch. From November to mid-January, the more experienced anglers can try to catch inland Wisconsin Walleye during the night.

Capt. Joe is known for being an excellent teacher, so you can ask him anything you’d like to know about the local fishing practices. Kids are welcome to join you on your angling escapades, and your guide will provide life jackets for them and help them catch their first fish.

While everything fishing-related is included in the price of your trip, it’s up to you to buy a fishing license before you come aboard. It’s also a good idea to pack enough snacks, food, and drinks to last the day, and remember to dress appropriately for the weather.

Fishing fun with Big Fish Guide Service is but one click away!

Half Day Trip – Musky (PM)

Fishing with Joseph

VERIFIED

Never really did any musky fishing and not a bait cast reel user. Had my boy and his friend there who has never fished before. He was fishing in 15 minutes like a pro with Joe’s training. Awesome learning experience for all of us.
