Thinking about booking a fishing charter with Fat Boyz Fishing Adventures? Good. Good. You’re already making a great decision. Below are the answers to the questions we get asked most. Don't see your question? Call or text us. We actually answer our phones.
We have confidence in our ability to put you on fish. If you come out on your charter and don't catch a single fish, we'll take you out again completely FREE.
No fish? We go again.
We're not promising a trophy on every cast. We're not promising 200 fish every trip. Fishing is fishing.
But we ARE willing to put our name behind our ability to get you on fish.
That's the Fat Boyz 100% Catch Guarantee.
Nope.
Never held a fishing rod before? Perfect.
Been fishing your entire life? Perfect.
Kids, families, beginners, experienced anglers—we take them all.
We'll show you the setup, explain what we're doing, help with technique and do everything we can to get you catching fish.
No judgment. No stupid questions.
Just fishing.
Honestly? Not much.
Bring:
We supply the rods, reels, bait, tackle, life jackets and fishing equipment.
You bring yourself.
We'll handle the fishing stuff.
Depending on your age and residency, you may need a valid Alberta Sportfishing Licence.
Guests under 16 do not require a sportfishing licence. Alberta residents 65 years of age or older also do not require one.
Other exemptions may apply.
It is your responsibility to make sure you are properly licensed before fishing and to follow all current Alberta Sportfishing Regulations.
Not sure? Ask us before your trip and we'll point you in the right direction.
For our Lac Ste. Anne fishing charters, we normally launch from the Warwa Boat Launch.
It's just minutes from Alberta Beach and roughly an hour west of Edmonton.
We'll confirm the exact meeting and launch details before your trip.
Don't worry—we aren't going to make you wander around the lake trying to find two Fat Boyz and a boat.
Our main Alberta fishing charters currently operate on Lac Ste. Anne.
Lac Ste. Anne is our numbers lake.
It's where we go looking for high-action walleye fishing and days where the rods stay busy.
Fat Boyz Fishing Adventures is expanding into the Lac La Biche area, including Lac La Biche, Beaver Lake and Pinehurst Lake, with other locations eventully being added.
Fat Boyz is growing.
And we're just getting started.
Walleye are our bread and butter.
That's what we're known for and that's what we spend a lot of our time chasing.
Depending on the lake, season and conditions, you may also run into northern pike, perch, burbot or lake whitefish.
Every day is different.
Our mission stays the same:
FIND FISH. CATCH FISH. HAVE A DAMN GOOD DAY ON THE WATER.
No.
And any guide who guarantees you an exact number of fish before the boat even hits the water is probably full of it.
We've had some absolutely ridiculous fishing days. We've seen 200+ fish days and we've had one day push past 250 walleye in roughly six hours.
But fishing conditions change.
Weather changes.
Fish move.
What we guarantee is that we are going to work to put you on fish.
We don't drop the anchor in one dead spot and hope for a miracle.
We're Fat Boyz.
We're hunting fish.
That depends on the lake, species and current Alberta Sportfishing Regulations.
A lot of our walleye fishing is catch and release.
Some lakes and species may have different possession limits, size restrictions or special harvest requirements.
Tell us before your trip if you're hoping to keep fish.
We'll discuss the current regulations and what may be possible.
YES.
Rods.
Reels.
Bait.
Tackle.
Life jackets.
Fish-finding equipment.
And two guys who spend a questionable amount of time thinking about fish.
You do not need to go spend hundreds of dollars on fishing gear before booking with us.
We've got you covered.
Absolutely.
We love getting kids on fish.
There is nothing better than watching a kid feel a fish hit the line and realizing something on the other end is fighting back.
We've taken first-time anglers, families and kids out fishing.
Our goal is to keep the trip fun, comfortable and exciting.
Parents, fair warning:
Your kid might out-fish you.
We will probably remind you about it.
Our main boat can take up to four clients.
We limit our numbers because we want everyone to have room to fish, move around safely and actually enjoy the trip.
Have a larger group?
Call us.
Let's talk.
Depending on the situation, we may be able to discuss other options.
Mother Nature doesn't care about your fishing reservation.
We tried to put her on time out but in return she gave us a ton of rain.
High winds, lightning, storms or unsafe boating conditions can force us to reschedule.
Safety wins. Every time.
We monitor the conditions and will communicate with you if weather becomes a concern.
We'd rather move your trip than turn a fishing adventure into an episode of Deadliest Catch: Lac Ste. Anne Edition.
Yes, evening fishing trips may be available depending on the date, weather and daylight.
Some people want an early start.
Some people would rather sleep in and chase fish later.
We get it.
Contact us and we'll see what works.
Fish cleaning is not normally included with our charters.
