Walleye Fishing - 5 PPL MAX on July 13, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCapt. Chris was awsome. He found fish right away, it just took a while for the fish to decide bite. five walleye over 22" was more than we could ask for. Thanks a ton Chris! P.S.-Sorry about the tangle! 🤣
Kevin Procter5.0VerifiedStarted cold. Then got hot.
Spring Trophy Walleye - 3 PPL MAX on April 30, 2026 • 1 adultHad a great trip with Fat Nancy. we only caught 1 while jigging. Then we trolled for 5 or 6 miles and did great. Totally recommend.

Allison Ewing5.0VerifiedHighly Recommend!
Walleye Fishing - 5 PPL MAX on July 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Chris was wonderful! I have very limited fishing experience. My boys (ages 11 and 13) wanted to go fishing on our recent Door County trip. I found Captain Chris through fishingbooker.com and I’m so glad I did! He was patient and helpful. He also made it look easy putting multiple lines in the water without constant tangles (which is usually the case when I take my boys fishing). We caught 8 large sheepshead fish. My boys had a blast reeling in much bigger fish than we catch in the pond near our house. They are already talking about booking with Chris in the future to pursue salmon or walleye fishing. Thank you Captain Chris!
Mitchell GoekeRepeat angler5.0VerifiedVery windy day.
6 Hour Trip – Walleye (3 MAX) on May 5, 2025 • 2 adultsChris is a good guide. He did everything we expected to get fish on the boat. We ended up landing this 33” pike and 28” Walleye. Most of all we enjoyed our trip, caught a couple fish and learned a lot.
Wei Mei5.0VerifiedCaptain Chis….. Knows all the hot spot!! Catch big walleyes and northern pikes.
Walleye Fishing - 5 PPL MAX on May 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenStrongly recommend Captain Chris. His technique and knowledge were able to cast 8-10 lines, cover different depths…… catch a large northern pike and walleye for us. : )

Spring Trophy Walleye - 3 PPL MAX on September 3, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Chris is really professional. He knows his stuff and is a tireless worker. We caught fish thanks to his knowledge, experience and his equipment . He’s a good communicator and very friendly. We learned a lot about this area and fishing in general. It was a lot of fun and we came home with fish to boot!

Frank NationRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Captain Chris Herbst
Spring Trophy Walleye - 3 PPL MAX on July 25, 2023 • 2 adultsWhat a great time! Captain Herbst was ready to go when we got to the marina! My daughter and I both caught nice walleyes despite a hot day with a falling barometer. Chris fished until the last minute. We had a great time with Chris, he is fun and chatty with a great sense of humor. I recommend him without reservations.
