Diehard Angling

Diehard Angling is a Wisconsin fishing guide service led by National Walleye Tour professional Alec Nickel and based in Sturgeon Bay. The company offers guided trips for anglers seeking a hands-on experience on Green Bay and its tributaries, Sturgeon Bay, Lake Michigan, the Winnebago Chain, and Lake Geneva. Its target species include walleye, perch, smallmouth bass, pike, musky, salmon, and trout.

Trips include six-hour guided outings for trophy walleye, smallmouth bass, musky, perch, and salmon, as well as fully guided ice-fishing trips. The service emphasizes more than finding fish: guests can use premium gear and modern electronics, with practical instruction during the trip. Lessons are available on using Garmin LiveScope, SideVu, and mapping tools to improve fishing skills. Diehard Angling also promotes seasonal ice fishing for walleye, jumbo perch, and whitefish. Trips can be booked online, with deposits paid at booking and the remaining balance due on the day. The business welcomes larger group inquiries by email and invites guests to bring their own food and drinks.
