Winnebago Lake's excellent fishing opportunities are but one cast away, with Lure-In Fishing Guide Service ready to take you to the red hot bite! With Captain Dennis Ansell at the helm, you're in for a memorable day on the water that you'll want to brag about.
Join your guide on his 21' Tuffy boat with a 225 HP Evinrude engine, and enough room to sit up to 4 people. Your fishing platform is perfectly suited for lake fishing, which makes it stable and very fast. Finding fish hideouts will be easy because the captain will use GPS and fishfinder to locate your prey.
Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price of the trip, as well as the use of live bait and lures. Fly rodders are welcome to bring their own equipment, or they can talk to the captain and he'll prepare it for them. When you come back to the dock, Capt. Dennis will clean the catch so that you don't have to get messy.
But what species could find their way to your cooler? Lake Winnebago is teeming with a great variety of freshwater game fish, and you can catch a bit of everything. Bass and Walleye are the hardest fighters. You'll also come across Muskies, Northern Pike, and Catfish.
For this trip, you'll need to bring drinks, snacks, and food, as well as a valid Wisconsin fishing license. Come fishing with your little ones – they're going to have a blast, especially on half-day trips.

Half Day Trip on October 1, 2021 • 3 adultsDennis was very friendly and made meeting up for our charter very easy. He was very knowledgeable in all things fishing, especially around the Wisconsin area. We caught 3 different kind of fish, Sheepshead, Walleyes and Perch. It was a great time by all!

Half Day Trip Afternoon on July 5, 2026 • 4 adultsDennis was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He was willing to move our fishing time to earlier in the day to accommodate for us. He answered so many of our questions and is a very knowledgeable guide. Definitely worth the price - was a super beautiful and peaceful day out on Winnebago

Half Day Trip on June 12, 2026 • 3 adultsVery tough conditions. Strong (20-30 mph) winds out of the west. Captain Dennis tried everything to get us fish. We caught Largemouth, Smallmouth, Catfish and Sheepshead.

Brian Pokorny5.0VerifiedGreat Captain!!
Half Day Trip on October 28, 2024 • 2 adultsDennis was great and very knowledgeable. He took us to a few different spots on the Wolf River where we used crank baits and minnows. We caught a few bass and Walleye and when we were finished for the day Dennis quickly cleaned them up for us to take home. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend Dennis to anyone looking to have a nice stress-free day of fishing on the water!
Daniel Maciejewski5.0Verifieda good time
Half Day Trip Afternoon on June 14, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Dennis was great with my two young boys, 3 and 4 years old, and me. We caught many panfish in the channels, and he tried to keep us in the shade since it was a hot day.
