This trip is perfect for everyone from first-timers to seasoned anglers looking for a quick fix on the water. We keep our groups small to make sure everyone gets plenty of attention and prime fishing spots. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the lake!

What to Expect on the Water

Our 3-hour trips are all about maximizing your time and getting you on the fish fast. If we're chasing walleye, you've got two options: casting or trolling. For you hands-on types who love the thrill of working a lure, we'll take up to 4 folks out casting. If you prefer to kick back and let the boat do some of the work, our trolling trips can accommodate up to 6 people. And for those days when the perch are calling, we'll load up 6 anglers for a chance at filling the boat with these tasty panfish. No matter which style you choose, our experienced guides will be right there to help you dial in your technique and put you on the fish.

Techniques & Tackle Talk

Alright, let's break down how we'll be fishing. For walleye casting, we typically use jigs tipped with live bait or soft plastics. We'll work structure like drop-offs, weed edges, and rocky points. It's an active style of fishing that keeps you engaged and ready for that telltale "thump" when a walleye hits. Trolling for walleye is a bit more laid-back. We'll set up with crankbaits or crawler harnesses and cover water until we find the schools. For perch fishing, it's all about finesse. We use light tackle with small jigs or live bait rigs. We'll often anchor up on a good school and pluck these feisty little fighters one after another. No matter the method, we've got all the gear you need – just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a snack for the boat!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These golden-eyed predators are the crown jewels of many freshwater lakes. Known for their excellent table fare and challenging nature, walleye are a blast to catch. They tend to be most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time. Walleye typically hang out near the bottom, often relating to structure or drop-offs. When you hook into one, you'll feel a distinctive "tap-tap" followed by weight. They put up a good fight, especially the bigger ones that can push 10 pounds or more. And let's not forget – they make for some of the best fish fries you'll ever have!

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – these little dynamos punch above their weight class when it comes to both fight and flavor. Perch are schooling fish, so when you find them, it's often game on for non-stop action. They're curious and aggressive, which makes them great for anglers of all skill levels. You'll typically find perch in and around weed beds or over sandy and gravelly bottoms. While most run in the 8-12 inch range, bigger "jumbos" can stretch to 15 inches or more. Their white, flaky meat is absolutely delicious, making them a favorite for shore lunches and fish fries.

Our 3-hour trips are the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without eating up your whole day. Whether you're a local looking for a quick morning bite before work, or a visitor wanting to sample the lake's offerings, this trip fits the bill. Kids love the fast action of perch fishing, while die-hard anglers can't resist the allure of trophy walleye. And let's be honest – there's something special about being out on the water, watching the sun climb over the trees, with a rod in your hand and the promise of fish in the cooler. It's a slice of paradise that keeps folks coming back trip after trip, season after season.
