Polk County small water
437 lakes. Most never see a crowd.
Polk County has more lakes than most people will fish in a lifetime. The big names get the boat traffic. The small lakes are where the bass see fewer lures, the docks and weed edges stay quiet, and a good afternoon can mean dozens of fish or the biggest bass of your life.
I've spent years fishing and logging these lakes, tournament days and scouting trips both. Every lake is sorted by what it does best and when. That library is how your trip gets built: the right lake for your goal, the season and that day's wind.
Lake names stay between us and the boat. That's part of why they're still good.

The right lake for the day
Wind, fronts and season change which lake fires. With this many to pick from, there's always a good option close by.

How a trip works
-
1
Tell me your goal
A few quick questions when you book: how much you've fished, your personal best, and what would make the day.
-
2
I map the day
I pick the lake and the spots from my own scouting and lake maps, checked against the weather and wind for your date.
-
3
We fish the afternoon
Trips run in the afternoon and evening, when the water's warmest in spring and fall and the evening bite kicks in during summer.

A rundown at the dock
Before you head home, we go over what worked and why: the baits, the spots and the conditions, so you can put it to use on your own water.

Book a date
2027 booking opens soon
Trips start in 2027, with a limited number of days each week. When booking opens, a $150 deposit holds your date and goes toward the trip, and every angler signs a short online waiver. Here's how it will work:
- Weather: if I call the trip for storms or sustained winds of 20 mph or more, you pick a new date or get your deposit back in full.
- Cancellations: 14 or more days out, your deposit is refunded or moved. Inside 14 days, it can move to a new date once.
- Boat trouble: if the boat or truck breaks down, you pick a new date or get your deposit back in full. If it happens partway through a trip, you pay only for the time fished.
- License: every angler needs a valid Wisconsin fishing license.
