Come explore the beauty of Wisconsin’s fisheries and have a memorable time with Big Country Charters. Captain Randy Wagner will meet you in Sturgeon Bay and take you on a fun-filled day on the water, doing everything in his power to make your trip a successful one. Pick your day, join the captain aboard, and spend a thrilling time chasing fish with your loved ones.

Your adventure will take place on a 20’ Nitro performance fishing boat that can safely take up to 3 anglers. This boat is powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 47 knots and comes rigged with modern GPS, a fishfinder, and VHF radio electronics to ensure quick and safe movement. There’s also an ice-box for storing fish and a livewell for keeping live bait.

On your trip, you’ll be fishing for Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, depending on what’s biting. The techniques you can expect to use include trolling, spinning, and jigging on light tackle. On special trips chasing Whitefish in winter, Capt. Randy also offers ice fishing. You choose whether you’ll keep your catch or not, just keep in mind that trophy fish has to be released.

The captain will take care of all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures, so you can fully focus on fishing. Before coming on board, just make sure you have your fishing licenses with you, as well as some snacks and drinks to stay refreshed.

Have a great time on the water together with Big Country Charters!

Fishing slow, but great captain
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on May 9, 20253 adults
Fishing that weekend was slow, but Randy did everything possible to put us on fish. We started out casting in a spot that had prefished the night before with success and then trolled the rest of the trip. He even extended the length of the charter. I plan on going out with again next year.

While we only caught one fish it wasn’t from the lack of Captain Randy from trying, he did everything he could to provide a successful experience. He was very nice and while we waited for the fish to come, the conversation flowed to help pass the time.

Great experience for our boys!
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on June 5, 20251 adult2 children
Randy was easy to work with you, communicated well, and super friendly. He is very knowledgeable and patient with the novice fisherman. Our 13 and 8 year old had a great time and were happy with the salmon they caught. Thank you so much Randy!
