6 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on July 3, 2024 • 2 adultsAlec’s knowledge, skills, and passion of his profession (as a Fishing Guide) are unparalleled. He’s an angling rockstar 🤘🏼 We caught our limit of King Salmon during our chartered 6-hour trip; which included one lunker that weighed in at approximately 25 pounds!! An experience of a lifetime for my recently-graduated son! We both highly recommend booking a trip with Diehard Angling 🐟🐟🐟

Your captain
Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, United States
My name is Alec Nickel and I have been fishing since I was 3 years old. My Grandparents have been in the Taxidermy Industry for over 45 years and my Grandpa taught me all of my fishing and hunting skills growing up. I am a 'River Rat' and I have been fishing the Rock River, Mississippi River, and Wisconsin River since I was a kid! I started a YouTube channel in 2020 and began producing videos for myself and others to enjoy. I learned shortly after starting my YouTube Channel, that I wanted to share my passion of fishing with as many people as I could. I love teaching people how to fish and helping them catch their next Trophy. I work really well with children and love getting them into the outdoors. I look forward to seeing you in the future and enjoying some time on the water to chase Walleye, Smallmouth, Salmon or Perch!
