Slab Seeker Fishing Guide Service invites you to team up with Captain Garrett Svir who specializes in catching trophy Panfish, operating in the area he calls Panfish Paradise. His business has been featured in fishing magazines and television shows all across the Midwest.

If you're looking for a charter that can both take you through some of the most gorgeous nature you'll see in Minnesota, as well as provide you with heart-pounding, line-tightening action, you've come to the right place.

The boat you'll be fishing from is a 2020 18' Crestliner – capable of holding up to 3 anglers at the same time, so grab your best fishing partners. It's powered by a respectable 150 HP Mercury outboard engine. It has a state of the art navigation and fish-finding electronic system, so won't waste time trying to find your prey.

Captain Garret Svit will be your guide, instructor, and best fishing buddy on these trips. He's an avid fisherman, ready to instruct and assist you in going after trophy Bluegills, Crappies, Largemouth Bass as well as other species you may run into. Jigging, spinning, and drift fishing can be done with light tackle, while fly fishing is a favorite of customers as well. He'll provide you with all the rods and reels you need and live bait too.

A lunch is provided with the full-day trip, as part of the trip price. Remember to bring a cooler for your catch. Customers are advised to also bring polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and snacks or drinks.

    Caught many fish, it was my idea to quit before his. He would stay all day, but had enough fish to keep grandson and wife happy. THANK YOU GARRETT 😊

    Fishing with Garett

    Half Day – Trophy Bluegills on July 24, 2021 • 3 adults

    Outstanding in every way. He put us on bluegill within minutes of hitting the water. Easygoing, knowledgeable of the area. It was an added bonus that he came with extra equipment when the boys wanted to finish the trip on bass.

    August fishing trip

    Full Day Trip - Trophy Bluegills on August 27, 2020 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great trip. We caught our limit of crappie in 4 hours Most around 12 inches. We then headed to a trophy Blue Gill late in the Afternoon. We had to work hard because a cold front had moved through but we manage to find some nice 10 inch fish and had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery and learning a lot about the Minnesota fishery and the area from Garrett.
