On our Green Bay trips, we don't mess around – we use every trick in the book to get those fish biting. We'll be trolling for the big ones, casting into the sweet spots, and jigging where the fish are hiding. You'll get hands-on with different techniques, and trust me, there's nothing like the thrill of feeling that first tug on the line. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat, and we'll handle the rest.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Green Bay is a fish factory, and we've got the inside scoop on where to find the best catches. Let's break down what you might be reeling in:

Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the crown jewels of Green Bay. They're sneaky, hanging out near the bottom, but when you hook one, it's game on. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons, and they can grow up to 30 inches here. Anglers love 'em for their fight and their fantastic taste.

Smallmouth Bass: Pound for pound, these bronzebacks are some of the toughest fighters in the bay. They love rocky areas and will hit hard on both live bait and artificial lures. Summer is smallmouth season, and landing a 5-pounder will give you serious bragging rights.

Northern Pike: These toothy critters are the ambush predators of Green Bay. They grow big here – we're talking 40+ inches – and they're not shy about attacking your lure. Early spring and late fall are pike prime time, and the thrill of battling one of these monsters is hard to beat.

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – perch fishing is a blast. These tasty little guys school up, so when you find them, it's non-stop action. They're perfect for kids or anyone who wants to keep the rod bent all day. Plus, they make for one heck of a fish fry.

Muskellunge (Musky): The elusive "fish of 10,000 casts" calls Green Bay home, and hooking one is the holy grail for many anglers. These predators can top 50 inches and put up a fight that'll test your skills and your gear. Late summer and fall are your best bets for musky, and landing one is an experience you'll never forget.

What to Expect on the Water

When you step onto our boat, you're in for a treat. We'll start by getting you set up with the right gear for the day's conditions and target species. As we head out, keep your eyes peeled – you might spot some of the local wildlife or catch a killer sunrise if you're on an early trip. Once we hit our spots, it's all about the fish. We'll coach you on technique, help you read the water, and make sure you're in the zone to catch.

Don't worry if you're new to this – we love teaching folks the ropes. And if you're an old hand, we've got some local tricks that might just surprise you. Either way, you're in for a day of laughs, learning, and hopefully, some epic catches. Just remember, it's called fishing, not catching – but we'll do our darndest to make sure you're hooking into some good ones.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Green Bay isn't just another fishing spot – it's a world-class fishery right in Wisconsin's backyard. The diversity of species here means every trip can be different. One day you might be battling trophy walleye, the next you could be finessing smallmouth bass off the rocks. And let's not forget the scenery – from the rolling waves to the shoreline views, it's a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the reel.

But what really keeps folks coming back is the challenge and the chance to grow as an angler. Whether you're picking up new techniques or finally landing that bucket list fish, Green Bay has a way of hooking you (pun intended). And with our local knowledge, you're not just fishing – you're getting an insider's look at one of the best fishing spots in the Midwest.

Top Catches This Season

This year's been a doozy for big fish, let me tell you. We've seen walleye pushing the 30-inch mark, smallmouth bass that'll make your arms ache, and northern pike that look like they've been hitting the gym. The perch fishing's been on fire too, with some real jumbos in the mix. And for the musky hunters out there, we've had some heart-stopping follows and a few giants boated that'll make any angler weak in the knees.

Remember, every day on the water is different, but that's part of the fun. We'll put you on the best bite of the day, whether that's drifting for walleye, casting for smallies, or trolling for the big predators. And who knows? You might just end up in our season highlight reel with a catch of a lifetime.

American Yellow Perch

Yellow perch are perfect for introducing kids to fishing. These tasty panfish usually run 7-10 inches in Green Bay. You'll find schools in weedy areas or over sandy bottoms. Perch are active year-round but really turn on in fall as they fatten up for winter. Anglers love their fight-to-size ratio and excellent table fare. To load the boat, try drifting with small jigs tipped with minnows or worms. When you find a school, drop anchor and get ready for fast action! Pro tip: bring plenty of bait - when perch are biting, they can clean your hook in seconds.

American Yellow Perch

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the big boys of the sunfish family, usually 1-4 pounds but can top 10. You'll find them in weedy, shallow areas of lakes and ponds. These ambush predators love to hide around structure and strike at prey. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're most active in the shallows. Anglers love targeting largemouth for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. To land a big one, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near submerged logs or weed edges. Just be ready for an explosive hit when that bass decides to commit!

Largemouth Bass

Muskellunge

Muskies are the apex predators of Green Bay - the fish of 10,000 casts. These toothy giants average 30-40 inches but can top 50. Look for muskies near weed edges, points, and rocky structure. They're most active in summer and fall as water temps rise. Anglers love the challenge and thrill of landing these elusive trophies. To up your odds, try trolling large crankbaits or casting big bucktails near likely ambush spots. Stay alert - follows and last-second strikes are common with muskies. When you finally hook up, hold on tight - these fish fight like freight trains!

Muskellunge

Northern Pike

Northern pike are toothy predators that'll test your skills. These sleek ambush hunters average 24-30 inches but can top 40. Look for pike in weedy shallows and along drop-offs in Green Bay. They're most active in cooler water, so spring and fall are prime seasons. Anglers love pike for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. To land a big one, try casting large spoons or inline spinners near weed edges. Use a steel leader - those razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono! When you hook up, be ready for some serious head-shaking as the pike tries to throw your lure.

Northern Pike

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that punch above their weight. Typically 1-4 pounds, these bronze beauties prefer cooler, rockier habitat than their largemouth cousins. You'll find them around boulders, gravel, and drop-offs in Green Bay. Spring and fall are prime as smallies move shallow to feed. Anglers love their aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps. To entice a bite, try working a tube jig or crawfish imitation slowly along the bottom. Let it sit, then give it a few quick hops - that often triggers a reaction strike from a lurking smallmouth.

Smallmouth Bass

Walleye

Walleye are prized for their tasty white fillets and challenging nature. Averaging 1-3 pounds, these golden-olive fish have distinctive reflective eyes that help them feed in low light. You'll find walleye in deeper, cooler parts of Green Bay, often near drop-offs or rock piles. They're most active at dawn and dusk. Spring and fall are top seasons as walleye move shallow to feed. Anglers love the fight and delicious reward of landing walleye. To up your odds, try slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and nightcrawler harnesses along underwater structure. The bite can be subtle, so stay alert!
