Private Trip
Lakes/Reservoirs/Ponds Fishing
Full-day ice fishing adventure targeting multiple speciesHeated shacks and equipment provided for comfortExpert guidance on premier Southern Wisconsin lakes
When the lakes freeze solid in Southern Wisconsin, that's when the real fishing action begins. This full-day ice fishing adventure with Captain James Cooper puts you right in the heart of some of the region's best hard water fishing. Starting at 6 AM, you'll spend 12 hours targeting multiple species across premier fisheries like Lake Geneva, Delavan Lake, and Lake Como. Whether you're a seasoned ice angler or stepping onto frozen water for the first time, this trip delivers the goods with heated shacks, quality electronics, and all the tackle you need to make it a day to remember.
Captain Cooper knows these Southern Wisconsin lakes like the back of his hand, and he'll pick your fishing spot based on current ice conditions and where the fish are biting best. The beauty of this 12-hour trip is you're not rushed – there's plenty of time to work different areas, try various techniques, and really dial in what the fish want that day. The heated shacks are a game-changer, especially during those brutal January and February days when the wind's howling across the ice. You'll stay comfortable while watching your electronics for those telltale marks that signal fish below. The group size maxes out at 6 anglers, so there's room for the whole family or a solid crew of fishing buddies. Captain Cooper provides all the bait and tackle, but you'll want to bring your Wisconsin fishing license, plenty of warm layers, and enough food and drinks to fuel a full day on the ice.
This isn't your grandfather's ice fishing with just a bucket and a hand auger. Captain Cooper runs a top-rated operation with modern fish finders that show you exactly what's happening below the ice. You'll be fishing out of heated shacks equipped with multiple holes, so you can work different depths and presentations at the same time. The electronics take the guesswork out of finding fish – you'll see them come in, watch them investigate your bait, and know exactly when to set the hook. Depending on what species you're targeting, you might be jigging spoons for aggressive northern pike, working small jigs and plastics for panfish, or presenting minnows on tip-ups for walleye. The captain adjusts techniques throughout the day based on fish activity and weather conditions. Ice thickness and safety are always the top priority, and Captain Cooper only takes groups out when conditions are rock-solid safe.
White bass are one of the most underrated ice fishing targets in Southern Wisconsin. These silver missiles travel in schools and when you find them, the action can be non-stop. They typically suspend in deeper water and respond well to small jigging spoons and blade baits. White bass average 12-14 inches and fight harder than you'd expect through the ice. They're also excellent table fare with firm, flaky white meat that's perfect for fish fries.
Walleye fishing through the ice is all about patience and presentation. These golden beauties are most active during low-light periods, so early morning and late afternoon often produce the best bites. Southern Wisconsin walleye typically run 15-20 inches, with some real trophies pushing 25+ inches. They prefer live minnows presented just off the bottom, and the electronics help you stay in the strike zone. There's nothing quite like watching a walleye appear on the screen, slowly approach your bait, and then seeing your rod tip bounce with that classic walleye bite.
Northern pike are the apex predators of these lakes, and they stay active all winter long. These toothy critters can show up anywhere from shallow weed edges to deep basin areas. Pike through the ice are ambush feeders, often striking with explosive force that'll wake you up fast. They range from 20-30 inches on average, but Southern Wisconsin produces some real giants over 40 inches. Pike are perfect for tip-up fishing – set them with large minnows and wait for that flag to pop.
American yellow perch might be the most popular ice fishing target in the region, and for good reason. These colorful panfish school up tight in winter and provide consistent action when you locate them. Perch in these lakes typically run 8-12 inches, with jumbo specimens reaching 13-14 inches. They're suckers for small jigs tipped with waxworms or wigglers, and once you find a school, you can often fill your limit. Perch are also fantastic eating – sweet, mild meat that's perfect for any preparation.
Bluegill round out the panfish slam and are perfect for kids and beginning anglers. These scrappy little fighters are found near structure and weed lines, usually in 10-20 feet of water. Southern Wisconsin bluegill can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 9 inches not uncommon. They respond to ultra-light presentations – tiny jigs, ice flies, and small plastics work best. Bluegill provide steady action throughout the day and are incredibly fun to catch on light tackle.
This 12-hour Southern Wisconsin ice fishing trip with Halligan Outdoors Guide Service delivers everything you want in a hard water adventure.

You will find them in heavily vegetated waters among reeds, weeds, docks, and other structures. You may find large schools of Yellow Perch near the shore during the spring. They can also be found in brackish water. </span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">Yellow Perch are found in the rivers of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River basin, and throughout the majority of the northeast United States and parts of Canada.</span></p>
Lepomis Macrochirus## Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) Bluegill is a freshwater gamefish and is popular for its taste and spunky fight.it resembles redear sunfish and orange-spotted sunfish. Bluegills are literally found in every area of the country. The body color of the bluegill depends on its habitat and environment. The body color can be bluish-purple, dark blue, green, or olive green and have vertical 6 to 8 stripes. Female Bluegill has white belly while a breeding male can have a rusty red or orange belly. It has 3 anal fin spines and dorsal fin with 10 - 11 spines. ## Bluegill Size and Weight Bluegill average approximately 8 inches, but can reach up to 16 inches. They usually weigh about a half-pound. Bluegills can grow larger with age and are expected to live up to 10 years. ## Bluegill Interesting Facts • Bluegills are said to be excellent swimmers. They can change their direction very quickly by adjusting their fin movements. The shape of their body helps to reduce water resistance and allows them to move very fast. • They are usually found in a school of 10-20. • Breeding males are most colorful among bluegills. • Bluegill is also used as bait and lure for bigger fishes. ## Bluegill Spawning Lepomis macrochirus maturity age depends on the habitat and environment, but mostly they mature at the age of 2 or 3 years. As the water temperature reaches 70 F, the spawning season begins. It takes place from April to September. After the female lays eggs, the nest is guarded by the male. After reaching a certain length, the younglings leave the nest for deep waters. ## Bluegill Food Bluegills mostly feed on insects, zooplankton, worms, eggs, snails, and small fish. But they are not much picky about their food, and also consume human scraps such as bread, corns, and crackers. ## Bluegill Fishing Bluegills usually hunt for food at dusk and dawn. They can be caught year-round, but spring and early summer are recommended seasons. • Spin casting with worms is extremely effective catching bluegill. • If you are planning a fishing trip with young children, go after Bluegill. They are not picky and will put up a good fight. Using a bobber with a worm will allow even the youngest angler to enjoy the day. • If you are a fly-rod expert, then try laying a spider bubble or fly at the bluegill’s spawning spots. • As bluegill has a small mouth, jig fishing with small hooks is a good option. • Float rigs such as waggler float and bubble rig work great. ## Bluegill Baits and lures: Lure and baits include: • Worms • Bread • Minnows • Small jigs • Insects • Bugs ## Bluegill Habitat and Distribution Bluegill is found mostly in ponds and lakes. They usually live in shallow and along shorelines. They prefer a vegetated or weed-rich area, or fallen logs and sunken objects where they can hide. Clear, quiet, and warm water with suitable hiding places are its favorite, like under a dock. Bluegill is endemic to the Eastern half of America. They can be found in Far East states such as Florida up to far west such as New Mexico. They have also been introduced in North America, Europe, South Africa, Asia, South America, and Oceania.
Esox Lucius<h2><strong>Northern Pike (</strong><i><strong>Esox lucius</strong></i><strong>) Fish Description</strong></h2><p>The Northern Pike (Esox Lucius) is a popular freshwater gamefish known for its greedy carnivorous nature. They have an elongated body and a grey to greenish color that fades to a yellowish-white belly. They have distinctive uneven rows of yellowish to white specks that run across its body.</p><h2><strong>Diet</strong></h2><p>Northern Pike is an aggressive hunter and not very picky about their food, eating just about anything that comes their way. They prey on other fish, including golden shiners, yellow perch, bluegills, suckers, and even other Northern Pikes. Larger ones have also been known to snatch small waterfowls, frogs, and rodents with their large mouth lined with sharp teeth when these unknowing victims are swimming on the surface or if they get too close to the edge of the water.</p><h2><strong>Spawning</strong></h2><p>Northern Pike have a short spawning season, March-April. Since the a<span style="color:rgb(32,33,36);">dults are solitary and highly territorial, they will leave their area and travel inshore or upstream to spawning areas in early spring. </span>Spawning<span style="color:rgb(32,33,36);"> normally occurs during day in shallow, quiet areas with a vegatated bottom. </span>They leave their eggs once they are laid.</p><p> </p><h2><strong>Interesting Facts </strong></h2><ul><li>They are solitary predators.</li><li>They are mostly territorial.</li><li>The oldest pike on record is 25 years old.</li><li>They are also referred to as freshwater sharks.</li><li>They can lie still for long periods of time.</li></ul><h2> </h2><h2><strong>Northern Pike Speed and Average Size</strong></h2><p>Northern Pikes are strong swimmers, but they are not actually known for their speed as they can only swim at an average of eight to ten miles per hour. It may not be as fast as other species; it has, however, the ability to sudden high-energy starts that they use for ambushing preys or for escaping life-threatening situations. </p><p>The average Northern Pike is 2 feet long and 34 pounds. <span style="color:rgb(32,33,36);">The largest pike ever caught in the U.S. was reportedly 4 feet 10 inches.</span></p><p> </p><h2><strong>Distribution and Habitat</strong></h2><p>As the name suggests, Northern Pikes are mostly found throughout the northern half of North America, with a higher population in the Great Lakes, northern New England, eastern New York, Minnesota, and the Ohio Valley. You can also find them in Nebraska and Missouri and as far north as Alaska and Canada.</p><p>They live in cool, shallow areas of streams, lakes, and rivers where they have good access to their food. However, in the summer, when waters heat up, they head to the deeper, cooler waters. </p><h2><strong>Fishing Techniques - How to Catch Northern Pike </strong></h2><p>A Northern Pike catch can be very rewarding as it’s known to be a tough fighter. You should remember to keep your distance from its mouth as its dagger-like teeth can cause significant damage to anything it can clamp down on. </p><p>With its aggressive nature and its strong swimming ability to boot, catching Northern Pike can be a daunting challenge. A 7-foot, medium-action rod paired with a regular spinning reel with a drag system that can stand a maximum of at least 15 pounds is more than enough to handle this fish. Equip your rod and reel with a more durable 15 to 20-pound braided line at the minimum so that the chances of the Pike’s sharp teeth breaking the line will be decreased. </p><p>Because these fish are known to be voracious eaters, various lures such as soft plastic swim-baits, inline spinners, and spoons can easily attract the fish. Just make sure to reel in at a slow, consistent speed so that your lure would look like an injured fish. Also, Northern Pikes are known to play with their food, so when you feel a strong tug on your line, don’t reel it in too fast. Just keep reeling at a slow pace and wait patiently for the Pike to strike again.</p><p>The ideal place to cast your line out are inlets, bays, coves, and drop-offs that have shallow, marshy areas with an abundance of weeds, as these are where Northern Pikes usually hunt for food.</p>

In small to large rivers, to deep and shallow lakes. They are fairly particular to where they like to be in these bodies of water and see out sand, rock, or gravel bottoms. Walleye will usually stay deeper in the water column during daylight hours and use weeds, timber, or other structures for cover. In River systems, they will likely spend their daylight hours in deep holes and drop-offs, and move out into the shallows to seek forage during the lowlight period. Walleyes can tolerate water temperatures from 32 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit but are most comfortable when water temperatures are at 70 degrees. Walleye are nocturnal creatures that feed in shallow waters at night. Adult walleye primarily consume other fish. Small crustaceans and insects, primarily mayflies, are eaten by young walleye.</span></p><p><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Walleye are found in the Arctic south of Canada down to the Great Lakes region and east to the St. Lawrence systems. Lake Erie is a well-known home of walleye anglers and great walleye fishing. The Midwest and Canada are the most popular areas with the best fishing, but over decades the species has been introduced artificially into lakes and reservoirs all over North America. The breathtaking waters of Lake of the Woods and Rainy River have earned the title of "Walleye Capital of the World." It has some of the best fishing in the world, and anglers come here year after year in search of that elusive record catch.</span></p><h2><strong>Typical Size and Weight</strong></h2><p><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Walleye are reasonably large fish with a sleek and conical body shapes and a mouth lined with sharp teeth. the adult walleye can grow to 30 inches or more in length and top out at around 20 pounds in weight.
