Ready for some prime-time fishing action? Our Evening Walleye trip is where it's at. We're talking 6 hours of non-stop angling excitement, kicking off at 3 PM when the fish are really starting to get frisky. This isn't your average after-work outing - it's a full-on fishing frenzy that'll have you hooked from the moment we leave the dock.
Picture this: The sun's starting to dip, casting long shadows across the water. That's when the walleye come out to play, and boy, are they hungry. But they're not the only ones on the menu. We're also on the hunt for northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, and even some brown trout if we're lucky. It's like a fish buffet out there, and you've got a front-row seat. We've got room for up to 4 anglers, so bring your buddies or make it a family affair. And here's the kicker - if your plans change, no sweat. You can cancel up to a week before without losing a dime. How's that for peace of mind?
Alright, let's talk shop. When it comes to walleye, we're not messing around. We'll be using a mix of trolling and jigging, depending on what the fish are in the mood for. For those pike, get ready to cast some big, flashy lures - these toothy critters can't resist a good show. If we're after perch, we'll drop some live bait down deep. And for the bass? Topwater lures at dusk are pure magic. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Just bring your A-game and maybe a lucky hat.
Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the stars of the show. They're most active during low light, which is why our evening trip is money. Walleye put up a great fight and taste even better. They average 2-3 pounds, but don't be shocked if you land a 5-pounder or bigger.
Northern Pike: The wolves of the water, pike are all attitude. They're ambush predators, so we'll target them near weed beds and drop-offs. These toothy missiles can grow over 40 inches long, and when they hit, hold on tight!
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you. These little fighters are a blast to catch and often travel in schools. If we find a honey hole, it's non-stop action. Plus, they're delicious if you're into a fish fry.
Smallmouth Bass: Pound for pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. They love rocky areas and will absolutely crush a well-presented lure. Expect acrobatic jumps and powerful runs.
Brown Trout: These are the wildcards of our trip. Smart and elusive, browns are a real trophy. They prefer cooler water, so we'll target them near deeper structures. Landing one of these spotty beauties is always a highlight.
Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and let me tell you, there's nothing quite like an evening bite. The lake gets quiet, the sky turns into a painting, and the fish... well, they go nuts. It's like they know it's dinner time. Our regulars come back season after season because they know this isn't just fishing - it's an experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered. We'll put you on the fish, show you the tricks of the trade, and make sure you have a blast doing it.
So here's the deal - our Evening Walleye trip runs from May 1 to June 30, and spots fill up fast. At $650 for up to 4 people, it's a steal when you consider the memories you'll make. We're talking about 6 hours of prime fishing time, expert guidance, and the chance to land some serious fish. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just want some quality time on the water, this trip delivers. Don't wait until the big ones get away - book your spot now and get ready for an evening you won't forget. Trust me, once you experience the magic of a sunset walleye bite, you'll be hooked for life. Let's make it happen!
Yellow perch are the bread-and-butter fish of many lakes and rivers, typically ranging from 6-12 inches. You'll find them in schools around weed beds, docks, and other structures in relatively shallow water. They're active year-round, but spring and fall often see the best action. Perch are popular among anglers of all skill levels for their eagerness to bite and tasty fillets. While they might not put up the strongest fight, their abundance and willingness to bite make for fun, fast-paced fishing. Small jigs tipped with minnows or worms are go-to baits. Here's a local trick: when you catch one perch, don't move - where there's one, there's likely many more. Drop your bait right back down and you might fill a stringer in no time. Their light, flaky white meat is perfect for a fish fry, making them a favorite for the dinner table too.

Brown trout are the chess players of our waters, known for their cunning and selectivity. These golden-brown beauties typically range from 12-20 inches, though trophy fish can top 30 inches. You'll find them in cool, clear streams and lakes, often holding in deep pools or near undercut banks. They're most active during low light conditions, making dawn and dusk prime fishing times. Anglers prize brown trout for their wariness and the challenge they present. When hooked, they put up a spirited fight, often making powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Their rich, orange flesh is also excellent eating. To fool a big brown, try matching the hatch with small nymphs or dry flies. Here's a local tip: focus on the seams where fast and slow water meet. Browns often hold here, waiting to ambush passing prey. A well-placed drift through these areas can result in explosive strikes.

Northern pike are the ambush predators of our waters, often lurking in weed beds and along drop-offs. These toothy critters can grow up to 40 inches and 20 pounds, though most catches are in the 24-30 inch range. They're aggressive feeders, known for their lightning-fast strikes and powerful fights. Pike are most active in cooler water, making spring and fall prime seasons. Anglers love targeting them for their size and the thrill of the catch. When hooked, they'll make blistering runs and even jump occasionally. Use steel leaders to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. Spoons, large minnow baits, or even big fly streamers can entice strikes. Here's a tip: after a missed hit, let your lure sit still for a moment. Pike often circle back for a second attempt, giving you another shot at hooking up with these freshwater wolves.

Smallmouth bass, or "smallies," are pound-for-pound one of the hardest fighting fish in our waters. Usually 2-4 pounds, they're known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. You'll find them around rocky areas and drop-offs in clear, cool water. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but they'll bite year-round. Smallmouth are a blast to catch on light tackle - their aggressive strikes and tenacious fight make them a favorite among anglers. They're also great eating, with firm, white meat. For best results, try using tube jigs or soft plastic crawfish imitations. Work them slowly along the bottom, mimicking their favorite prey. Here's a local tip: when the water's calm, look for "nervous water" - small ripples on the surface often indicate feeding smallmouth below. Cast just beyond and retrieve through the area for some exciting topwater action.

Walleye are the nocturnal hunters of our waters, typically growing to 2 feet and 10 pounds. You'll find them lurking near drop-offs and weed edges in lakes and rivers. They're most active at dusk and dawn, making our evening trips prime time to hook one. Walleye have a reputation for being finicky, but when they bite, it's worth the wait. Their firm, white meat is considered some of the best-tasting freshwater fish around. To up your chances, try slow-trolling with a bottom bouncer and nightcrawler harness. Keep your line tight - walleye are known for their light bite. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, give it a second before setting the hook. These golden-eyed predators put up a good fight and make for a memorable catch, especially for first-timers.
