Bordering Green Bay and Lake Michigan, the peninsula of Door County is probably one of the best places in the States for freshwater fishing. Throw in the canal waters of Sturgeon Bay, and you can’t go wrong. A whole host of Door County fishing charters are waiting to take you away to get your hands on a prized fish!
 
If you’re looking for trophy-sized fish in the Great Lakes, then Door County is the place to be. Huge Chinook and Coho Salmon, along with tough-fighting Walleye, make their way around the tip and into Green Bay. Some of the country’s best Smallmouth Bass fishing is also on offer. Add this to the Musky, Pike, Catfish, and Rainbow Trout bite, and you’ve got yourself an all-star cast to target. 
 
Beginners can get hooked with a four-hour trip, and there’s also the option of trips as long as 11 hours. Pros will be able to head to the deeper waters of Lake Michigan on one of these adventures. Choose from a trip that’s dedicated to targeting a specific species, or go after ‘em all. You even have the option of a night trip. The fishing never stops! When the lake is frozen, there’s no need to miss out on the fishing, as Door County fishing charters turn their attention to ice fishing.
 
Take to Green Bay at Brussels, hit the 10-mile long Sturgeon Bay for some Smallmouth action, or hit the deeper waters out of Ellison Bay, and you’re sure to have a fun-filled day out!

January
There’s no need to hide from the cold in front of the fireplace. Come out and engage in the joys of ice fishing on the rich waters of Lake Michigan! Target Perch, Pike, and Walleye and head home with a warming treat.
February
There are plenty of Door County fishing guides waiting to take you out onto the ice. Get ready for a fun-filled day on the water with your nearest and dearest as you try to pull out whatever’s biting down there. 
March
Make the most of the last chance to get out on the ice at the start of the month, and head out aboard a charter vessel at the end of the month to get your fill of Rainbow Trout, Walleye, and even returning Salmon. 
April
Not only is the weather getting warmer, but the fishing is heating up too. A range of fish come out to play in spring, so get your hands on the best species that the Great Lakes have to offer come April. 
May
You’ll see exactly why this is peak season to visit the waters of Door County: you’ll take hit, after hit, after hit of exciting fish! Target Perch, Walleye, Trout, and a range of Salmon to fill the boat with meat.
June
Sturgeon Bay’s Smallmouth Bass come into their own with the high temperatures of summer, giving you the chance to catch some prized fish nearshore. Try this or head offshore for Salmon to get what you want. 
July
Tourists start making their way to the stunning towns and villages along the 300-mile coastline of Door County, and for good reason too. The fishing has never been better, while you can enjoy a BBQ into the night.
August
With school out for the kids, why not bring them to these productive shores and get them hooked on fishing? There’s something for everyone as all the big, small, and medium-sized fish are biting. 
September
Forget the fact that summer is over and participate in the range of Harvest Festivals around Door County, as well as getting on the water for your fill of Bass, Walleye, Perch, and Salmon to take home.
October
You may feel that the fishing season is coming to an end, but there’s still plenty of fish to go after. Salmon, Walleye, and Bass are still biting, while Muskies come into their own in the deeper waters.
November
While the lake may not have frozen over yet, you’ll feel the chill if you want to get out on the water. Wrap up warm and stay on your toes by targeting Bass, Musky, Walleye, and the last of the Salmon. 
December
It’s not safe enough to get out on the water by foot or snowmobile yet, but there’s still some ice to prevent some of the boats too. Get in touch with a professional captain to see if you can go out on the water.

Was on Green Bay for 6 hours today walleye fishing with Captain Randy Wagner. Despite being windy with 2+ surf, we enjoyed the morning and easily caught my limit. Randy knows walleye fishing, and his rig is great for 1 - 3 fishermen. He helps pass the time with great stories of his previous career in law enforcement. Plan to contact Randy again on a future trip to this area. Erv Burbach - Sunset, SC

They are young but extremely knowledgeable in their craft. They did whatever they could to switch it up when the fish were not biting. Thanks again for the great fishing Nick, Alex, and Colton.

Captain Randy puts in a lot of extra work to find and know the local fish populationโ€™s feeding patterns. He was able to put us on the fish and we had a good day, despite the heat. All the walleye we caught were nice size and (the most important part) we had a great time!

Day 1 was productive with walleyes ranging from 16 to 22 inches! Cap was always working to find fish and very personable. Day 2 was very windy and a struggle from get-go. We did hook an approximately 30" wally but lost it at the edge of the net. Waves started to 5 to 7 ft. so we had to bail. Overall, it was a great time, have filets in the freezer, and highly recommend Big Country Charters!

The weather was good and we tried at least 4 different areas searching for the elusive Walleye. Water temp was 67 degrees in general. We didnโ€™t catch any walleyes but it wasnโ€™t due to lack of effort. Randy had the knowledge, very nice boat and tackle. We did catch a ton of large sheepshead, perch and Silver perch. We tried dead rigs, planner boards, spinners and crankbaits! Shallow water as well as down to 23โ€™ to no avail. I would schedule another trip with Randy next time down there!

It was a great day out. Randy was super cool and very knowledgeable. The equipment was top notch. The sheepshead were the top biters today but we still had a few others white bass and a couple walleye. Would highly recommend Randy. Looking forward to plan another outing.
