Ultimate 10-Hour Inshore Fishing Adventure

Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime with our Extreme Day Trip! This 10-hour adventure kicks off at the crack of dawn, giving you a full day on the water to chase after some of the most sought-after freshwater species. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip offers something for everyone. We'll be targeting a mix of hard-fighting game fish, from the elusive Walleye to the mighty Chinook Salmon. With room for up to four people, it's the perfect way to spend a day with friends or family, making memories and reeling in some impressive catches.

What to Expect on the Water

Our day starts early, meeting at the dock at 5:30 AM sharp. Don't worry, the early start is worth it – we'll be out on the water as the sun rises, often the best time for fishing. We'll spend a full 10 hours exploring prime fishing spots, giving you plenty of time to try different techniques and target various species. The beauty of this extended trip is the flexibility it offers. We can move between different areas, following the fish and adapting to what's biting. You'll have the chance to fish deeper waters for Lake Trout, troll for Salmon, or cast for Bass in the shallows. It's a diverse fishing experience that showcases the best of what our waters have to offer.

Techniques & Gear Rundown

On this trip, we'll be using a variety of fishing techniques to maximize our chances of success. We'll likely start the day trolling for Salmon and Trout, using downriggers to get our lures to the right depth. As the day progresses, we might switch to jigging for Walleye or casting for Northern Pike along weed edges. We provide all the necessary gear, including top-quality rods, reels, and a wide selection of lures. Our boat is equipped with the latest fish-finding technology, helping us locate schools and structure where fish are holding. Don't forget to bring a camera – you'll want to capture the moment when you land that trophy catch!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: Often called the "bread and butter" of freshwater fishing, Walleye are prized for both their fight and their taste. These elusive fish have excellent eyesight, making them challenging to catch, especially during bright daylight. We'll target them using jigs and live bait, focusing on deeper structures where they like to hide. The average size ranges from 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder!

Northern Pike: Known as the "water wolf," Northern Pike are aggressive predators that put up a fierce fight. We'll be casting spoons and large spinners near weed beds and drop-offs where these toothy critters lurk. Pike can grow to impressive sizes, with catches in the 20-30 inch range being common. The thrill of seeing a big pike chase down your lure is something you won't forget!

Chinook Salmon: Also known as King Salmon, these are the heavyweights of the freshwater world. Chinooks can reach sizes of 20-30 pounds or more, providing an epic battle on the rod. We'll be trolling with flashers and flies, or maybe even downriggers with cut bait. The best time for Chinooks is typically late summer to early fall when they start their spawning runs.

Brown Trout: These crafty fish are known for their intelligence and wariness, making them a favorite among anglers looking for a challenge. We'll be targeting Browns using a mix of trolling and casting techniques, depending on the conditions. They average 2-5 pounds but can grow much larger. The beautiful spotted pattern on a Brown Trout makes for a fantastic photo op.

Lake Trout: These deep-water dwellers are the true marathoners of the fish world. We'll be using heavy jigs or trolling with downriggers to reach the cold, deep waters where Lake Trout thrive. They put up a stubborn fight, especially when brought up from depth. While most Lake Trout we catch are in the 5-15 pound range, there's always the chance of hooking into a 20+ pound monster!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

What sets our Extreme Day Trip apart is the sheer variety of fishing opportunities it offers. In a single day, you might land a mixed bag of species that would take several shorter trips to achieve. The extended time on the water allows us to really dial in on what's working and adjust our strategy as needed. It's not just about the quantity of fish, but the quality of the experience. We'll have time to enjoy the scenery, swap fishing stories, and really soak in the day. Plus, with our local knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, you'll be fishing spots and using techniques that casual anglers simply don't have access to. It's a chance to fish like a pro, even if you're just starting out.

Learn more about the species

Brown Trout

Brown trout are crafty fighters that'll keep you on your toes. They average 1-5 pounds but can reach 10+ pounds in our waters. You'll find them in cool, clear streams and lakes, often tucked under cut banks or near fallen trees. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are ideal. Anglers love browns for their wariness and explosive strikes. They're not easy to fool, which makes landing one extra satisfying. To target browns, try drifting nymphs or streamers through deeper pools and runs. Early mornings and evenings are usually best. A stealthy approach is key - these fish spook easily. One local tip: after a light rain, toss small dark-colored dry flies to imitate ants or beetles. Browns can't resist. With some patience and skill, you might just hook into a trophy brown trout.

Chinook Salmon

Chinook salmon, also called kings, are the largest Pacific salmon species. They average 10-15 pounds but can reach 30-40 pounds in our waters. Look for them in deeper, cooler parts of the lake, often near underwater structures or drop-offs. Late summer and early fall are prime times as they move closer to shore to spawn. Anglers prize Chinooks for their hard-fighting spirit and delicious meat. When hooked, they'll make blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. To target kings, try trolling with downriggers using flashers and squid lures or cut bait. Spoons and plugs work well too. Early mornings are often best. Keep your drag set light - these bruisers can snap lines easily. A local trick: vary your trolling speed to trigger strikes. Nothing beats the thrill of battling a big king salmon, so get ready for some serious action.

Lake Trout

Lake trout are the big boys of the char family, often hitting 15-40 pounds in our waters. They're slow-growing fish that prefer deep, cold lakes with plenty of oxygen. You'll usually find them suspended in the basin, sometimes at depths over 100 feet. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they move shallower. Anglers target lakers for their size and the challenge of finding them in deep water. When hooked, they put up a stubborn fight. To catch lake trout, try jigging with heavy spoons or large soft plastics near underwater humps and drop-offs. Trolling with downriggers works well too. A local trick: use glow-in-the-dark lures for fishing deep or on overcast days. Lake trout meat is rich and oily - great for smoking. The satisfaction of landing one of these deep-water giants is hard to beat.

Northern Pike

Northern pike are aggressive predators that'll test your skills. These toothy monsters average 2-3 feet but can top 4 feet and 30 pounds. Look for them in weedy shallows of cool lakes and rivers, especially near drop-offs. Pike are most active in spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Anglers love pike for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. Be ready for a battle when you hook one. To target pike, try casting or trolling large spoons, crankbaits, or live bait near weed edges and points. Use a steel leader to prevent bite-offs from those razor sharp teeth. Pike meat can be bony, but it's quite tasty if prepared right. When handling pike, watch those teeth and use pliers to remove hooks. These fierce fighters make for an exciting day on the water.

Walleye

Walleye are a prized catch in these parts, typically running 2-3 feet long and weighing up to 20 pounds. You'll find them hanging out near the bottom in cooler, deeper waters - they're not fans of bright light. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons when they move shallower to feed. Anglers love targeting walleye for their tasty white fillets and the challenge of finding them. They put up a good fight too. To boost your chances, try jigging with minnows or nightcrawlers along drop-offs and rocky points. Early mornings and evenings are usually best. Keep your bait near the bottom and your retrieves slow. Walleye have sharp teeth, so bring pliers for unhooking. With some patience, you can land these elusive fighters and enjoy an excellent fish fry after.
