If you watched the John Gillespie Waters & Woods this weekend, you saw us chasing sturgeon and fall walleyes on the Wisconsin River right here in Stevens Point. The sturgeon were a blast, but that walleye bite on plastics was steady all day.

If you're heading out to chase them, stop by Taps & Tackle to grab your gear and talk river tactics over a Point at the bar. Don’t forget about booking a late-season trip in the heated pontoons!

When everyone else was trolling, Andrew went the road less traveled and got it done!!

Musky Innovations Swimmin’ Dawgs can be extremely overlooked when the summer heat dies off and you see the planer boards come out. The Magnum Swimmin’ Dawg can be worked at most any depth and can be casted a mile to cover a bunch of water.

Check out all our custom colors, including the “Blotchy Sucker” that Andrew got this tank on!👇🏼

Great fish Andrew! Keep casting out there!

P.S. Sorry about the blurry photo, it’s hard holding giants!

River muskies are on the move!

As water temperatures drop, the Wisconsin River becomes one of the absolute best places in the state to troll up a giant.

Pro-tip: Consistency is key in current. You want baits with a wide, aggressive wobble that can cut through the flow and grab a cruising fish's attention.

We’ve curated our top-performing river trolling weapons all in one place so you can skip the guessing game:

Summer sturgeon fishing on the Wisconsin River is 95% kicking back on the pontoon, and 5% hanging on for dear life.

There is no other bite like this in the Midwest. You can be sitting there eating lunch, and two minutes later you are hooked into a 50+ inch prehistoric tank that fights like a submerged log swimming upstream. When a school moves through, doubles and triples are a very real possibility, and it turns into absolute chaos on the deck.

If you want to experience the heaviest freshwater fight you can find, the pontoon is fully rigged and running. Stop by the shop for a pint, or shoot us a message to lock in your trip!

Had an awesome time out on the Wisconsin River a couple weeks back fishing with NB Edits!

The muskies were fired up, and we managed to get this thick 45.25" giant in the boat. We were dodging the summer heat, tagging a couple of natural reproduction muskies for the DNR, and even had a close call almost running out of gas out there. Huge shoutout to Mama Wojo for the emergency fuel delivery on the water!

Check out the full video of our trip over on the NB Edits channel here👇🏼

To every dad who ever tied a knot, baited a hook, or netted a monster: this weekend is yours.

We still love this old photo of when Taps & Tackle Co. just started. Angling is a tradition built on patience, knowledge, and connection.

When the weekend is done, come show us your own "brag board" photos. The first pint of Point B**r is on us for any dad who nets a new PB walleye or musky this weekend.

Cheers, dads!🍻

We made history on the Wisconsin River with John Gillespie’s Waters & Woods.

For the first time ever, Wisconsin has a summer hook-and-line catch and release sturgeon season, and we had the crew out to show them exactly what this fishery is capable of. 15+ sturgeon in two hours. Doubles. Triples. And a 56-inch prehistoric giant to cap it off.

We have the pontoon fleet fully running and dates are booking up fast for these sturgeon trips.

Check out the full episode at the link below. Then come down to the shop, grab a pint of Central Waters Brewing Company, and let’s get your summer trip on the books.

Huge shoutout to all our clients from this past weekend!

Matt was busy and put on an absolute clinic, boating multiple personal bests including walleyes, a sturgeon, and a musky. The river was firing on all cylinders.

Jozef found the right window, after raising multiple fish and his clients put a beautiful 39" musky in the net to cap off the weekend. The early summer patterns are officially locking in.

If your weekend didn't produce the same results, it’s time to re-tool. Doors are open, and the taps are pouring cold. Come grab a stool and let’s talk about summer river fishing!

Did Memorial Day weekend expose the weak points in your rig?

If you spent half the weekend fighting dead batteries instead of fishing, it is time to upgrade. We stock and install Dakota Lithium Batteries power systems right here at the shop. Drop in tonight, grab a pint of Point Brewery or Central Waters Brewing Company, and let's talk about bulletproofing your boat for the rest of the season. Open until 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays!
