Make the most of your time in the Northwoods and go fishing with L.V.O. Sportfishing, specializing in multi species guided fishing charters in Lincoln, Vilas, and Oneida counties.

Depending on the trip, you might hook into Walleye, Northern Pike, Bass, Crappie, Musky, Sunfish, Lake Trout, Lake Whitefish, and anything else that bites. You’ll target your catch by casting, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized like sharpshooting. Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home but catch & release is commended for others to enjoy the resource . Capt. Tim will even clean your catch for you. Pack a cooler ready in the car!

You’ll step aboard a 19’ Alumacraft 185 competitor tiller, with space for 3 passengers. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with live bait if needed. L.V.O offers high-quality gear and the latest electronics. Mega-live is a game-changer and more often than not it puts more fish in the boat at the end of the day! 

People in your group will need to buy your Wisconsin fishing license before your trip. Some essentials you’ll want to bring are sunglasses, sunblock, snacks, drinks, and a hat. Kids are welcome aboard and children under the age of 12 fish for free. Please bring the appropriate sized life jacket for your child.

"I promise a day on the water will be fun, educational, and full of laughs!"
- Captain Tim Buffington.

8 Hour Basic Day Trip

Full day trip. Have booked more than one.

Tim does a great job of guiding. I have used his services several times. My youngest son had no interest in fishing before he went on his first guided trip. Now he loves it and always asks when we can go again. I have never caught so many large walleyes before. He use this mega live fish finding thing to cast right at the fish. It was unbelievable how fast we were catching large walleyes!!! Definitely recommend!!
