They’ll also provide you with the best fishing gear, including lures and live bait. Your catch will be cleaned and filleted for your convenience, and the drinks are also provided. Just make sure to bring an extra layer of clothing and tell your guides what your desired targets are. They will choose the location and organize the trip according to your choice - they have all the knowledge and all the lakes to make your day with them a life-changing experience.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 20, 2025

Nate is a great guy who knows his stuff. Made it super easy for my family and we pulled in a bunch of fish. Didn't have to worry about a boat, equipment, bait, finding fish, cleaning the fish, etc.... We caught Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Walleye and Northern. A great memory, will do it again in the future.

8 Hour Trip on August 13, 2024

Nate picked us up early in hopes of catching some early walleye as the previous night was a little slow - too calm. It was a beautiful morning, but once again slow due to the calm water. Nate asked if we wanted to try for small mouth. We moved lakes and had the best day of fishing we’ve ever had. Lost count on number of fish! They were huge and fought hard. Got several doubles and even a triple or two. Nate was very patient and we had great conversations! We will be coming back to fish with Captain Nate again!

Went out with Captain Nate and my two mostly grown children. Nate put us on fish and was very knowledgeable on how to catch them. Had a great multi species day with many fish caught including really nice walleyes, bass and pike even though it was a very warm and flat calm day with a big hatch. Great job and thanks for the memories!

I have been a part of the outdoor industry for most of my life but have been guiding since 2002. My wife and I started this guide business to be able to give back to the industry that has been so good to us. So a majority of our profits from guiding are donated back in the form of fishing trips to charities and benefits that mostly help children in some way.
