Expert-Guided Manitoba Lake Fishing | Mac Mulligan

Epic Northern Manitoba Summer Fishing Adventure

Grab your tackle and get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime in Northern Manitoba's pristine lakes. Captain Mac Mulligan's 10-hour private fishing charter is your ticket to landing trophy walleye, pike, and lake trout while soaking in Canada's stunning wilderness. With decades of experience and local know-how, Mac will put you on the hottest bites and share insider tips to help you reel in your personal best.

What to Expect on the Water

Your day kicks off bright and early as you meet Cap'n Mac at the dock. He'll have the boat prepped and loaded with top-notch gear, so all you need to bring is your excitement and maybe a lucky hat. As you cruise out onto the crystal-clear waters, you'll be blown away by the untouched shorelines and dense forests. Mac knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he'll take you straight to the honey holes where the big ones are biting. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, Mac's patient guidance and local insight will have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of trolling and casting techniques to target different species. For walleye, we might drift with jigs or bottom bounce with live bait rigs. When we're after those monster pike, get ready to cast big spoons or swimbaits near weed beds and drop-offs. Lake trout often require a different approach - we'll likely troll with downriggers to reach the cooler, deeper waters they prefer. Mac's boat is decked out with fish finders and GPS, so we can track schools and mark productive spots. Don't worry if you're new to these methods; Cap'n Mac will walk you through each technique and help you perfect your presentation.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Northern Pike: These toothy predators are the stuff of angling legend in Manitoba. Known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, pike can grow to impressive sizes in these nutrient-rich waters. Summer is prime time for targeting pike in the shallows and near weed beds. The thrill of a big pike smashing your lure on the surface is something you'll never forget. Mac knows all the prime spots where the monsters lurk, and he'll help you land that 40+ incher you've been dreaming about.

Walleye: Often called pickerel by locals, walleye are prized for both their tasty fillets and their fighting spirit. These golden-eyed beauties tend to school up in Northern Manitoba's lakes, which means when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Summer sees walleye move to deeper structures, but Mac's local knowledge will put you right on top of them. There's nothing quite like feeling that telltale 'tap-tap' on your line and setting the hook on a chunky walleye.

Lake Trout: For many anglers, lake trout are the ultimate freshwater trophy. These deep-dwelling fish grow to enormous sizes in the cold, clear waters of Northern Manitoba. Summer fishing often requires specialized techniques to reach the lakers in their deep-water haunts, but the payoff is worth it. When you hook into a big lake trout, get ready for a battle royale as these powerful fish use the entire water column to their advantage. Mac's expertise in finding and catching lake trout is second to none, giving you the best shot at landing a true giant.
