As the season progresses, you may switch to spoons or other lures depending on what's getting the bite. Captain Keith will make sure to get you set up with the best tackle, no matter the season! Although Walleye arent known as huge fighters, they're widely regarded as some of the best freshwater eating fish out there! When you're fishing with Captain Keith, he'll make sure you head home with a cooler full of dinner. You'll be fishing out there aboard his 27' Sportcraft cuddy cabin, a fast boat that's ideal for trolling, with an enclosed cabin to keep you comfortable all day.

You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Moke's 21' Warrior High performance Muti Species boat 350-HP Suzuki engines, so you'll be absolutely flying off the dock and out to the hot fishing spots!
