What's Biting Today?

Our Wisconsin River fishing charters target the cream of the crop when it comes to freshwater game fish. Depending on the season, we'll be going after hard-fighting muskies (the fish of 10,000 casts), tasty walleye, acrobatic smallmouth bass, feisty northern pike, and the ever-popular yellow perch. The diversity of species means there's always something willing to bite, no matter the time of year. Our seasoned guides know just where to find the honey holes and how to present baits to entice even the wariest fish into striking.

Rigging Up for River Success

Leave your tackle box at home – we've got you covered with top-of-the-line rods, reels, and all the bait you'll need for a full day on the water. We'll rig you up with the perfect setup for whatever's biting, whether that's trolling crankbaits for walleye, tossing big bucktails for muskies, or finessing soft plastics for smallies. Our guides are pros at reading the river and adjusting tactics on the fly to keep the rods bent. We'll show you the ropes if you're new to fishing, or swap stories and techniques if you're an old hand. Either way, you're in for some serious fish-catching action.

Wisconsin's River Monsters

Muskellunge (Musky): The apex predator of Wisconsin waters, muskies are the stuff of fishing legend. These toothy beasts can grow over 50 inches long and put up a fight like no other freshwater fish. They're known for following lures right up to the boat before striking, making for heart-pounding action. Fall is prime musky season when these ambush predators bulk up for winter.

Walleye: Often called "marble eyes" for their distinctive peepers, walleye are prized for both their fight and their place on the dinner table. These nocturnal feeders are most active at dawn and dusk, often congregating near drop-offs and current breaks. Spring and fall offer the best walleye action when water temperatures are cooler.

Smallmouth Bass: Pound-for-pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish in the river. They love rocky habitat and are suckers for crawfish imitations. When hooked, they'll leap clear of the water and make blistering runs. Summer is prime time for smallmouth action when they're aggressive and feeding heavily.

Northern Pike: With their long, torpedo-shaped bodies and mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, northerns are voracious predators. They're known for explosive strikes and powerful runs. Spring is the best time to target big pike in shallow bays as they prepare to spawn.

Yellow Perch: While not the biggest fish in the river, yellow perch more than make up for it with their tasty fillets and willingness to bite. These schooling fish are often found near the bottom and will readily hit small jigs tipped with live bait. They're a great target for kids or beginners, and the action can be fast and furious when you find a school.

Whether you're dreaming of that trophy musky, a stringer full of walleye for the frying pan, or just a relaxing day on the water, our Wisconsin River fishing charters deliver the goods.

American Yellow Perch

Yellow perch are the bread-and-butter fish of Wisconsin's waters, usually running 7-10 inches long. These golden-yellow beauties with dark vertical bars are found in schools near weed beds, docks, and drop-offs in lakes and slow rivers. They're active year-round, but spring and fall often see the best action. Perch are popular because they're easy to catch and fantastic eating - their white, flaky meat is hard to beat. You'll find them in 5-30 foot depths, often near the bottom. Light tackle is the way to go - a simple worm on a hook or small jig will do the trick. Try fishing just off the bottom with a slip-bobber rig. Here's a local secret: in summer, look for perch in deeper, cooler water near structure. When you find one, you've likely found a whole school, so get ready for some fast action. Kids love catching these cooperative fish, making them perfect for family outings.

Muskellunge

Muskies are the apex predators of Wisconsin's waters, growing up to 4 feet or more. These long, torpedo-shaped fish with distinctive markings are often called "the fish of 10,000 casts" due to their elusive nature. Look for them in weed beds, near underwater structure, or patrolling open water in lakes and large rivers. Fall is prime muskie season, but dedicated anglers pursue them year-round. Muskies are prized for their size, powerful fights, and the challenge they present. They're not typically eaten, but are revered as a trophy catch. When targeting muskies, use heavy tackle and large lures like bucktails or crankbaits. Cast near likely ambush spots or troll along weed edges. Here's a tip from the locals: follow-up casts are crucial - muskies often track lures without striking on the first pass. Be patient, stay focused, and when that big fish finally hits, hold on tight!

Northern Pike

Northern pike are the aggressive predators of Wisconsin's waters, often reaching 2-3 feet long. These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish with distinctive markings are found in weedy areas of lakes and slow-moving rivers. They're ambush hunters, so look for them near weed edges, fallen trees, and points. Spring and fall are prime pike seasons, but they can be caught year-round. Anglers love targeting pike for their explosive strikes and powerful fights. They're not known for their eating quality, but make for exciting catch-and-release action. When fishing for pike, use steel leaders - their razor-sharp teeth will slice through regular line. Try casting large spoons or spinners near weed beds, or troll with live bait like suckers. Here's a local tip: on sunny days, target shady areas where pike might be lurking. Be careful when handling these toothy critters, and keep a pair of long-nosed pliers handy for hook removal.

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are feisty fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These bronze beauties usually run 12-20 inches and prefer clear, cool waters with rocky or gravelly bottoms. You'll find them hanging around submerged logs, boulders, and weed edges in rivers and lakes. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're most active in shallower water. Smallies are known for their acrobatic leaps and hard-pulling fights, making them a favorite among sport anglers. They're also tasty on the table. To hook one, try casting soft plastic tubes or crankbaits near structure, or drifting live bait like hellgrammites or crayfish. A local trick: when the water's warm, target deeper, cooler areas near drop-offs. These fish have keen eyesight, so light line and natural presentations often work best. Remember, a hooked smallmouth will head for cover fast, so be ready to react quickly.

Walleye

Walleye are a prized catch in Wisconsin's rivers, typically growing 15-20 inches long. These golden-olive fish with white bellies are known for their distinctive "walleye chop" - choppy water conditions they love to feed in. You'll find them near rocky structures and drop-offs, often in 10-30 foot depths. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer nights can be hot too. Walleye put up a good fight and make excellent table fare, which is why anglers love 'em. Their eyes reflect light, giving them an edge in low-light conditions. To improve your odds, try slow-trolling with nightcrawlers or minnows along underwater points and ledges. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook hard - walleye have tough mouths. Patience is key with these crafty fish, but the reward is worth it.
