Full Day Walleye Fishing with Captain Scott
Nine hours on the water with one of the area's most respected walleye guides - that's what you get when you book this full-day adventure with Captain Scott and Allen's Guide Service. This isn't your typical half-day trip where you're just getting warmed up when it's time to head back. With a full day ahead, you'll have plenty of time to dial in techniques, work different structures, and really fill the boat with those golden beauties. Captain Scott has built his reputation on putting clients on walleyes consistently, and he knows exactly where these fish hang out during different parts of the day. Plus, kids under 16 fish free with every paying adult - making this a top-rated choice for families looking to get the next generation hooked on walleye fishing.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day starts early, which is exactly when walleyes are most active. Captain Scott will have you targeting prime spots right off the bat, using his years of local knowledge to put you on fish fast. With only two anglers max per trip, you're getting personalized attention that larger charter operations simply can't match. The boat stays comfortable throughout the day, but you'll want to bring layers since conditions can change as the sun moves across the sky. Scott's approach is hands-on - he'll teach you to read your electronics, show you how to feel the subtle walleye bite, and help you understand why certain presentations work better in different conditions. The extended time on the water means you're not rushing through techniques or spots. If the morning bite slows down, you've got hours to explore different depths and structures where walleyes might be holding.
Gear and Techniques
Captain Scott comes equipped with everything you need for a successful walleye outing. He's got quality rods and reels spooled with fresh line, plus tackle boxes loaded with proven walleye catchers - jigs, spinners, crankbaits, and live bait rigs that have been tested in these waters. You'll learn multiple presentation methods during your nine hours together. Jigging is often the go-to technique, especially when fish are holding tight to structure. Scott will show you the proper jigging motion and how to detect those light walleye taps that many anglers miss. Trolling with crankbaits lets you cover water efficiently and locate active schools. Live bait rigging with leeches, nightcrawlers, or minnows can be deadly when walleyes are being finicky. The extended trip time means you'll master these techniques instead of just sampling them. Scott's electronics help locate fish, but he'll teach you to read the sonar so you understand what you're seeing down there.
Target Species You'll Hook
Walleyes are the star of this show, and for good reason. These golden-sided fish are renowned for their excellent table fare and the challenge they present to anglers. Walleyes typically range from 14 to 20 inches in most waters, with occasional trophies pushing 25 inches or more. What makes them tricky is their light bite - they're not aggressive strikers like bass. Instead, walleyes often just swim away with your bait, creating subtle pressure that feels like you snagged bottom. That's why having Captain Scott's experience is so valuable. He'll teach you to recognize that telltale walleye bite and set the hook at just the right moment. These fish are most active during low-light periods, which is why early morning and evening can be world-class. During bright midday conditions, they typically move deeper or seek shade under structures. The beauty of a nine-hour trip is experiencing both the morning and evening bites, often the most productive times of day. Walleyes school up, so once you locate one, there are usually more in the area. Captain Scott knows how to work these schools methodically without spooking them, often resulting in impressive catches that make for great photos and even better dinners.
Time to Book Your Spot
This full-day walleye experience offers something special that shorter trips simply can't deliver - the time to really learn and perfect your technique while enjoying consistent action throughout the day. Captain Scott's expertise combined with the extended time on water creates the perfect recipe for both novice anglers looking to learn and experienced fishermen wanting to put more walleyes in the boat. The fact that kids under 16 fish free makes this an outstanding value for families, and there's nothing quite like watching a young angler experience the excitement of their first walleye.
