Fishing the Waters of Sturgeon Bay

Complete fun and relaxation for you, your family and your friends. We offer one of the few places in the world that you can go from deep fresh water fishing to inland lake fishing without ever leaving your boat! The lakeside offers Chinook slamon, steelhead, lake trout and brown trout. The bayside is loaded with smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, musky and perch. Trophy sized fish of all species are caught every year. Our fantastic fishing is not limited to the open water, we also have an incredible ice fishing season. The city of Sturgeon Bay is open all year round for your enjoyment.

You can enhance your fishing excursion and take the guesswork out of finding the fish by chartering with one of our professional and yet personable, charter fishing guides. Our guides and charters can honestly goast generations of fishing these waters. This isn't a fish tale either. Their boats are clena, up to date and dependable. The Sturgeon Bay docking facilities are welcoming and maintained. And of course, the fish are ALWAYS biting here... well almost always. Charter fishing, the perfect way to experience a fishing advernture while in Sturgeon Bay.
