6 Hour Trip – Walleye (3 MAX) on May 5, 2025
Chris 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.

Strongly 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 July 9, 2024
We went out this morning with Captain Chris and had a great time. He was so excited when we caught the first walleye and then we added two more to the catch. Also had the great experience of having three catfish being landed at the same time. He was great and we went back to his house and he cleaned the fish for us. Would recommend him for his fishing knowledge and a great time on the water!!

Spring Trophy Walleye - 3 PPL MAX on September 3, 2024
Captain 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!

Spring Trophy Walleye - 3 PPL MAX on July 13, 2024
Nobody works harder to get you hooked up with great fish than Fat Nancy. He got me hooked with five or six Walleye, one was 29 inches! We also caught some large sheepshead which were fun to reel in. It was a great morning. highly recommend Fat Nancy if you are in the Door county/Green Bay area.
