    Fish, Fish, and more FISH!

    Captain Brian was awesome. We caught many large walleye over 25”! The boat and equipment where top notch and Brian definitely knew what he was doing. we ended up letting some smaller fish (in the 17-19” category) because we caught so many larger fish. We had no problem catching the daily bag limit of 6 per angler! I highly recommend booking a trip with Overkill Angling! Thanks for an unforgettable day fishing Brian!!!!

Walleye fishing is all about smart tactics and steady action. Walleye are a prized Panfish cousin with firm, mild fillets and a careful bite. Anglers target them for reliable fun, great meals, and a challenge that rewards patience and skill.

Common methods are simple and effective. Jigging, which means lifting and dropping a lure near the bottom, is a top choice. Trolling, or pulling lures behind a moving boat, covers water to find active fish. Many anglers use live bait like minnows, nightcrawlers, or leeches. Casting crankbaits and spinner rigs also works well, especially along drop-offs and weed edges at dawn, dusk, or on cloudy days.

Expect a relaxed, hands-on trip on lakes and rivers with light to medium tackle. The bite can be subtle, so your guide will help you feel the take and set the hook. This suits beginners, families, and seasoned anglers who enjoy a thoughtful approach. Dress in layers, bring polarized sunglasses to see structure, and wear non-slip shoes. Pack snacks, sun protection, and a cooler if you plan to keep fish where allowed.

Before you go, check local rules. You may need a fishing license or permit, and seasons, size limits, and daily harvest limits can apply. Regulations change by location, so review them ahead of time and follow your captain’s guidance on what is legal and responsible.
