The last few weeks have been crazy with multiple kings nearing the 30 lb mark and too many walleye and perch to count! We have had many limits of walleye and released a handfull of fish that were over 23 inches. Most pushing 28 and 29 inches. Give us a call to book before the summer bite is gone!

May 21, 2022 Sturgeon Bay
05/21/22 - 05/25/22 With fluctuating waters temps, rain, bass tournaments, and floating moss the bite was a bit tough for us this week but we were able to find some nice fish! Walleye were cruising and the bass are shallow. Pike made themselves readily available in several spots. I would not say this week was hot and heavy but it was steady when we found the warmer water. Met several great families and had two groups of father/son. It is always my goal to have a fun trip and I would say we all had a great time. Summer is coming and we are booking fast!
