Fat Nancy Sport Fishing – Walleye

Chris was great.  Engaging and knowledgable.  will be back next summer!

Fantastic experience

Capt. Chris was awsome.  He found fish right away, it just took a while for the fish to decide bite.  five walleye over 22"  was more than we could ask for.  Thanks a ton Chris!

P.S.-Sorry about the tangle! 🤣

Family Walleye adventure

Had a great trip with Fat Nancy. we only caught 1 while jigging. Then we trolled for 5 or 6 miles and did great. Totally recommend.

Started cold. Then got hot.

Captian Chris was great. Travis (7) had a great time and Captian Chris was very patient. We all had a good time and caught fish. We will definitely come again.

Fishing with Chris

Had a wonderful day and caught huge Fish!

Captain Chris was wonderful! I have very limited fishing experience. My boys (ages 11 and 13) wanted to go fishing on our recent Door County trip. I found Captain Chris through fishingbooker.com and I’m so glad I did! He was patient and helpful. He also made it look easy putting multiple lines in the water without constant tangles (which is usually the case when I take my boys fishing). We caught 8 large sheepshead fish. My boys had a blast reeling in much bigger fish than we catch in the pond near our house. They are already talking about booking with Chris in the future to pursue salmon or walleye fishing. Thank you Captain Chris!

Highly Recommend!

Strongly recommend Captain Chris. His technique and knowledge were able to cast 8-10 lines, cover different depths…… catch a large northern pike and walleye for us. : ) 

Captain Chis….. Knows all the hot spot!! Catch big walleyes and northern pikes. 

Chris is a good guide. He did everything we expected to get fish on the boat. We ended up landing this 33” pike and 28” Walleye. Most of all we enjoyed our trip, caught a couple fish and learned a lot. 

Very windy day. 

Captain Chris is really professional. He knows his stuff and is a tireless worker. We caught fish thanks to his knowledge, experience and his equipment . He’s a good communicator and very friendly. We learned a lot about this area and fishing in general. It was a lot of fun and we came home with fish to boot!

 Captain Chris is amazing!

Fantastic charter, my kids had so much fun!  Highly recommend Captain Chris.

	This is the month to explore the ice fishing potential of Sturgeon Bay. Lake Whitefish is the most common catch, but Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Northern Pike don't fall far behind.</p>


<p>
	February is excellent for ice fishing endeavors and you'll have plenty of catch to choose from – <span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Muskellunge are all very hungry.</p>


<p>
	The temperatures are slowly rising, which means that the ice fishing season is at its end. By the end of the month, open water fishing for Salmon, Steelhead, and Walleye can begin.</p>


<p>
	The sun is shining and the fish are biting! In the cards are all the A-listers including Trout, Coho and Chinook Salmon, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and more.</p>


<p>
	The prime fishing season starts in May, and whatever you'd like to reel in, now is the time. Salmon, Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Trout, and Muskellunge are there for the taking.</p>


<div>
	Most fish love warm waters, aside from Salmon, but you can catch them further offshore. Walleye, Steelhead, Brown and Lake Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch await!</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div>
	July promises productive and pleasant days on the water, with plenty of catch to bring home. Think Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, Trout, Salmon, and of course, Walleye.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<p>
	Want a mixed bag of catch? Fish Sturgeon Bay in August! Salmon and Trout are biting in Lake Michigan, and the Bay Side is teeming with Walleye, Bass, Perch, Muskellunge, and Pike.</p>


<p>
	Fall is around the corner and though the winds are picking up, the fishing is still solid. Steelhead and Salmon are active, as well as Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.</p>


<p>
	This is the last chance of the year to fill your cooler with Salmon fillets, while Coho and Chinook are still biting. The Walleye and Bass action is still going strong.</p>


<div>
	Winters in Sturgeon Bay are anything but mild, and being on the open water in November isn't for the faint-hearted. Bass, Walleye, and Muskellunge hookups are frequent.</div>


<p>
	The ice is slowly setting in, though it's still not safe enough for ice fishing. Where there's open water, you can cast your line for Smallmouth Bass, Muskellunge, and Walleye.</p>
