Reel Passion Fishing
+20Based out of Sturgeon Bay, Reel Passion Fishing is your ticket to a memorable time on the waters of the Great Lakes.
Come on aboard with Captain Nate Van Noie, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Get ready to try trolling, as you go after Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.
You'll be fishing from a 32' Carver convertible boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. She features a toilet, kitchen, and large deck so you can relax as the trolling lines do their work. And there's an ice box to keep your catch fresh.
The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need for a productive day on the water. Just keep in mind you'll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.
Here to help you with anything you need will be one of our amazing personable and productive first mates. They will even clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day at no extra charge. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. As our deck hands work for tips.
The price of your trip also includes complimentary water on board, but you're welcome to bring your own special drinks. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.
Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
There are discounts available for veterans, active duty and first responders, Thank you for your service! Please contract Capt. Nate for more info!

6 Hour – Vets/First Responder (PM) on May 28, 2024
Capt. Nathan and his deck hand went above and beyond to accommodate my group of me, my FIL, and my 3 sons (9, 7, & 5). We were fortunate to land several fish and the whole experience from initial setting with a change in date to the completion of the trip was a great time. I would gladly go back for another trip with Capt. Nathan.

6 Hour Trip – MAX 4 Persons (PM) on September 18, 2024
The crew was very experienced, with top-of-the-line equipment and techniques. We went out at a tough time of year for salmon and trout, but we still caught some nice fish. They were very open and I learned a lot.
