Walleye fishing with Dot the Eye Sports Fishing
Full Day Trip on April 27, 2026

We booked one day with Captain Matt and had such a great time we booked 2 more days. We caught our limit all three days before noon. Captain Matt knows the lake and how to find the fish. His boat and equipment are top notch and we all had a great time.

Reported catch:
Walleye

My favorite trips are when kids come and we can put them on the fish. I like kids on the boat. I enjoy having fun with them joking around making feel at ease sometimes kids get nervous. I do my best to make sure they don't.
