Live Action Guide Service is a full-time guide service running trips out of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Captain Zach Stadler is at the helm and is happy to cater to anyone with an interest in the outdoors, regardless of age or skill level. Hop aboard and see for yourself what makes Wisconsin such a popular destination for anglers around.

You will be fishing from a 21’ Nitro ZV21 that’s powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine that will ensure you reach the fishing grounds in no time. There’s room on the boat for up to four anglers, so you can always bring some friends along for the ride. Apart from quality navigation equipment and electronics, the boat has a live bait well as well as a wireless trolling motor that’s very useful for silent runs.

Captain Zach specializes in providing the best possible freshwater experience and will take you fishing for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Muskies on his trips. Some of the gear he tends to use are Chaos tackle, Rapala lures, and Pflueger fishing gear.

The price of any given trip will include rods, reels, and terminal tackle. The exact departure location will vary depending on the species targeted. It will be up to you to bring a valid fishing license, as well as a pair of polarized sunglasses and some sunscreen for the best experience possible.

Had a great experience fishing with Zach. He’s very patient, we had a few tangle ups with 4 of us fishing. He got us on some good small mouth. I would definitely use him again!

Zach was a pleasure to guide with. He has state of art equipment and does a great job trying all different types of techniques to see what they are biting. We landed some nice small mouth bass and it was an all around great trip. I would recommend Zach for anyone looking to get out on the water.

We fished out of Sister Bay with the Bass Pro's, happened to be there at the same time. We left half hour before the Pro's and found them fishing Zack's spots. Zack put us on fish, we fished with the Pro's, it was awesome!

Zach took us all out for my husbands birthday. We had a great time! Zach went above and beyond to make sure that we caught as many fish as possible. He was very patient with us and made sure we had a lot of fun. We even caught a 30 1/2 inch Walleye! We will definitely be booking another trip with him again in the future.
