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 Beer 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!

The ultimate weekend transition kit!!

We just finished building out four massive 'Four-Season' gear bundles on the floor, and frankly, the math is aggressive.

Every single bundle on that wall comes with a $50 gift card included. So, you can upgrade your open-water arsenal, and then let us pour your first few rounds on the house while you talk strategy. The weather looks fantastic this weekend to get out on the water!

The taps will be pouring cold all day today and tomorrow! Come grab a pint and check it out.

What an absolute BANGER of an opening weekend!

The Muskies were moving and the Fort Knox custom color from Taps and Tackle and Musky Innovations was the undisputed MVP of the boat. We put three solid fish in the net, but the real story was in the tags.

Science meets sport: 2 out of our 3 fish were already tagged, and the data is mind-blowing!

The 36 Recap: Jozef netted a 36-incher that was originally tagged by Jb and Jozef back in June of 2025. It is awesome to see these fish healthy, growing, and staying local in the river.

The Marathon 44: This one blew our minds. We landed a 44-inch tank (Tag # ending in 27) that was originally tagged by another angler way up in Lake DuBay in 2024. This fish made the massive journey all the way down to Plover by last weekend. That is a giant move for a musky!

The Fort Knox Swimmin Dawg is officially the hot ticket for the river right now. If you want to put numbers in the boat like we did this weekend, you need this custom Taps and Tackle color in your box.

Get yours before they are gone!
