The Fox River and Wolf River are Open for Business
The Walleye Bite on the Fox and the Wolf Rivers has begun!
April is here! And I, Captain Kirk, am excited about fishing on open water! Winter is over!! The boat has been out. The walleye catching has begun.
Which river gets the nod to kick it off? Well it’s the Fox River of course! The Fox River is the first place to be free of ice. Then shortly thereafter the Wolf opens up.
Why the Fox River near De Pere? Good question. The WDNR allows us (you and me) to fish the river below the dam at De Pere during the pre spawn, spawn and post spawn to fish protected fish. Many many walleyes make a trip up the river only to get stopped by the dam. You can’t keep them however, you have the chance of catching your biggest walleye ever in this river at this time of the year! Now that’s why!
The truth is, in order to fish the Fox this time of year and to have an open season, you can keep one walleye 28 inches long or longer. It’s trophy time! Plan on catch and release and you’ll be good.
Don’t be fooled. It’s still difficult to find and catch a BIG girl. But that’s where I can help. I’ll tip the odds in your favor, and with a little luck you’ll stick a big fat girl 28 inches plus. Ultimately I want you to catch fish and a lot of them. 20 walleyes in the boat for the day is not unusual. I’ll actually be a little disappointed if we don’t get 20 fish in the boat. Of course you never know. We could catch 50. We could catch 5. But I will try my hardest to teach you and get you to land some walleyes.
You do not have to pay me to not catch fish. Check out my guarantee on my website: FishingGuideWisconsin.com. No fish in the boat means you don’t owe me any more. I’m confident that we will catch fish which is why I offer the best guarantee in the industry.
Because the river is such a good opportunity for catching quality fish, it can get crowded. It really is a great opportunity. And often the first place to put a boat in in spring.
If you really want to catch fish to eat, then a trip to the Wolf River is in order. April is an awesome month to visit the Wolf River and I’m out there a lot . Once May rolls around it’s almost impossible to navigate the river due to all the white bass fishermen. Picking a weekday is your best bet.
Do you have to have a guide? No of course not. Do you have the confidence to do it on your own? It really is all about confidence. And again, that’s where I can help.
I’ve fished the river for many years and I’ll tip the odds in your favor for catching fish.
I take one or two people out at a time. We’ll vertical jig for fish on the Wolf and we’ll vertical jig and or cast cast in the shallows on the Fox. And I’ll supply all the fishing gear and bait.
Are you ready to beam aboard?
