Wisconsin's Premier Walleye Fishing Adventure

Ready to reel in some of Wisconsin's finest freshwater fish? Buckle up, because Keep It Reelin' Guide Service is about to take you on a fishing trip you won't forget. Based in Wisconsin Rapids, we're smack dab in the heart of walleye country. Our private trips put you right where the action is, targeting walleye, crappie, and northern pike in the area's top lakes and reservoirs. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got everything you need for a day of pure fishing bliss.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on a glassy Wisconsin lake, the sun's just peeking over the treeline, and your line suddenly goes taut. That's the kind of excitement we deliver day in and day out. Our trips are tailored for 1-2 anglers, with room for a third if you want to bring along an extra buddy (just toss in an extra $50). We've got full-day and half-day options, so you can choose how long you want to be out chasing the big ones. And the best part? We provide all the gear. Just bring your fishing license, some snacks, and your favorite drinks. We'll handle the rest, from the boat to the bait.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Fishing with us isn't just about dropping a line and hoping for the best. We're talking about proven techniques that put fish in the boat. Depending on the season and what's biting, we might be trolling with crankbaits for walleye, jigging for crappie in submerged timber, or casting big lures for aggressive pike. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're always ready to switch things up if the fish are being finicky. We use top-notch equipment too – from sensitive rods that let you feel every nibble to fish finders that help us locate the hotspots.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Our guide Ryan was tremendous. He has a wonderful, happy personality which made it really enjoyable for our group to spend time with him on the water. He knows his fishing game as well, and came well prepared with gear for multiple different fishing techniques to try on our trip." - Eric

"Ryan gave us far more than our money's worth, on my 4 hour guided trip with my wife's son and son-in-law. I am a very unaccomplished infrequent angler nearly 75 years old but the other two are much younger and better fishermen, and we all had a good time." - Leo

"My son and I just got back from an all day trip with Ryan. Great weather and a great guide! We got out on the lake early and started some serious fishing. There had been a deep cold front through Wisconsin a few days earlier and we expected some tough fishing. Ryan was not phased by it and worked the lake like a pro." - Robert

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The crown jewel of Wisconsin fishing, walleye are what bring anglers from all over to our neck of the woods. These golden-eyed beauties are known for their tasty fillets and the challenge they present. Walleye tend to be most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings are prime time. They love to hang out near structure like drop-offs and weed edges. When you hook into a walleye, you'll feel that distinctive 'tap-tap' before they take off. It's a rush every time.

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you – these pan-sized powerhouses put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Crappies school up, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. They love to hang around submerged trees and brush piles. Spring is typically the best time to target them, but we catch them year-round. Light tackle and a sensitive rod tip are key to feeling their subtle bites.

Northern Pike: If you're after a real teeth-clenching, drag-screaming fight, northern pike are your target. These toothy predators are ambush hunters, often lurking in weed beds waiting to pounce on unsuspecting prey. Pike fishing is all about big lures and strong line. When a pike hits, hold on tight – they're known for explosive runs that'll test your skills. And watch those fingers when unhooking them – their razor-sharp teeth are no joke!

Bluegill: Often overlooked but never underappreciated, bluegills are the perfect fish for anglers of all skill levels. These feisty little sunfish are abundant in Wisconsin waters and are a blast to catch on light tackle. They're especially fun for kids or beginners because they're usually eager biters. Bluegills hang out in shallow water near vegetation, and they're active all day long. Don't be fooled by their size – a big 'gill can put up a surprisingly good fight!
