Ready for a killer day on the water? Hop aboard our sleek 620 Ranger for six hours of non-stop fishing action. Whether you're after chunky walleye or tasty yellow perch, this private charter is your ticket to some serious rod-bending fun. With room for just you and a buddy, it's the perfect setup for focused fishing without the crowd. Let's get out there and see what's biting!
Picture this: You're cruising on a top-notch 620 Ranger, the kind of boat that makes other anglers do a double-take. It's just you, your fishing partner, and miles of prime fishing grounds stretched out before you. We'll hit all the sweet spots where walleye and perch love to hang out. No need to pack a lunch - this 6-hour trip is all about maximizing your time with lines in the water. Our seasoned skipper knows these waters like the back of their hand, so get ready for a day of finding the fish and filling the livewell.
We don't mess around when it comes to catching fish. For walleye, we might be trolling with crawler harnesses, jigging with minnows, or working the bottom with bottom bouncers - whatever's getting them to bite that day. Perch fishing? We'll likely be using spreader rigs or drop-shot setups with small minnows or worms. The 620 Ranger is decked out with top-of-the-line electronics, so we'll be marking fish and adjusting our tactics on the fly. It's all about adapting to what the fish want, and trust me, we've got plenty of tricks up our sleeves.
"My family and I had a fantastic morning out on a charter fishing trip with Captain John and First Mate Scott. They were incredibly friendly, well-prepared, and had a knack for finding where the perch were active. Their patience with my wife and daughter, both first-timers on a fishing charter, was commendable. We felt completely safe and at ease throughout the entire excursion. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we're eagerly anticipating booking with them again!" - Angelika
Walleye: The crown jewel of freshwater fishing, walleye are known for their tasty fillets and challenging nature. These golden-eyed predators love to hang out near structure and can be downright finicky. But when you crack the code? Hold onto your hat! Walleye tend to feed more actively in low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time. Expect to battle fish in the 2-5 pound range, with the chance at a real wall-hanger if luck's on our side.
Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - these feisty little guys punch well above their weight class. Yellow perch are schooling fish, so when you find 'em, it's often game on for non-stop action. They're perfect for anglers of all skill levels, and their white, flaky meat makes for some of the best fish fries you'll ever have. We usually target perch in the 8-12 inch range, but bigger jumbos are always a possibility.
Largemouth Bass: The rockstars of the freshwater world, largemouth bass are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These bucket-mouthed bruisers love to ambush prey around cover like weed beds, fallen trees, and docks. We'll toss everything from topwater lures to soft plastics to entice these green machines. A good day might see us tangling with bass in the 2-5 pound class, with the occasional trophy pushing 7 or 8 pounds.
Smallmouth Bass: Often called "brown bass," smallmouths are the scrappy cousins of largemouths. Pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish you'll encounter in freshwater. These bronzebacks prefer cooler, clearer water and rocky habitat. We'll target them with a mix of finesse techniques and power fishing, depending on their mood. Expect most fish to be in the 1-3 pound range, but don't be shocked if a 5-pounder decides to crash the party.
Listen, if you're looking for a day of serious fishing without any fuss, this is your ticket. Our 620 Ranger is built for comfort and performance, meaning you'll be fishing in style all day long. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, we've got you covered. With a max of two guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one time with the guide to pick up new tricks and dial in your technique. So what are you waiting for? Grab your fishing buddy, pack your favorite lucky lure, and let's get out there to make some memories (and catch some dinner while we're at it). The fish are calling - time to answer!

These tasty little fighters typically run 7-10 inches and under a pound, though some real jumbos can hit 2 pounds or more. You'll find schools of perch hanging around weed beds, docks, and other structure in lakes and slow rivers. They're active year-round but especially fun to target through the ice in winter. Anglers love perch for their willingness to bite and excellent table fare. Light tackle is the way to go - it's a blast feeling those rapid-fire strikes on an ultralight rod. For consistent action, try a small jig tipped with a piece of worm or minnow fished near the bottom. Here's a local secret: when you find one perch, there are usually more nearby. Once you get a bite, work that same area thoroughly. These fish travel in schools, so you can often catch a bunch once you locate them. It's non-stop fun when you get into a hungry school!

These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of the bass world, often hitting 4-5 pounds with some real monsters topping 10. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed edges, and drop-offs in lakes and slow-moving rivers. Spring and fall are prime times when they're actively feeding in shallower water. Largemouth put up a great fight, making spectacular jumps and powerful runs. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and table quality. To land a big one, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near cover during early morning or evening hours. When a largemouth hits, give it a second before setting the hook - they often grab the bait sideways first before fully committing. These fish aren't too wary, so don't be afraid to use heavier gear to wrestle 'em out of the snags.

Pound for pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish you'll hook. They average 1-3 pounds but can top 5 in prime waters. You'll find them in clear, cool lakes and rivers with rocky or gravel bottoms. Spring and fall are excellent times to target smallmouth as they move shallow. These bronze beauties are known for their acrobatic jumps and powerful runs when hooked. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and never-say-die attitude. To entice a big one, try working a tube jig or crawfish imitation slowly along rocky points and ledges. Here's a pro tip: when a smallmouth hits, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Instead, drop your rod tip and give the fish a second to fully take the bait before driving the hook home. It's an exciting fight you won't soon forget!

Walleye are sleek predators, usually 15-20 inches long, with those distinctive glowing eyes. They hang out near the bottom in deeper, cooler water during the day, moving shallow to feed at night. Look for them around rocky points, drop-offs, and weed edges. Spring and fall are great times to target walleye, especially in low light conditions. Anglers prize 'em for their tasty white fillets and the challenge of locating these sometimes finicky biters. For best results, try slow-trolling with live bait rigs or jigging minnows near the bottom. Here's a local tip: when you feel that telltale tap-tap, don't set the hook right away. Give the walleye a few seconds to fully take the bait, then reel down and sweep the rod to the side for a solid hookset. It's a blast when you connect with one of these hard-fighting fish!
