Fantastic charter!
My 15 year old son and I had never fished for northern pike or walleye before, so when we went on vacation in Minnesota, I looked at the reviews of fishing charter operators near where we were staying and found Nate’s listing along with his reviews. Since they were all 5 star ratings, we decided to go with him. We are really glad we did too, because when we got to Nate’s first fishing hole, my son and I together caught 19 decent sized smallmouth bass and 1 big walleye. Nate could hardly keep up with us because he was busy baiting our hooks or pulling hooks out of fish that we had caught. We even caught some nice size northern pike which were absolutely beautiful fish. Nate proved that he knows how to work with people that are inexperienced fishermen, as well as those that are very experienced. He took my inexperienced 15 year old son under his wing and patiently taught him how to fish like a pro. My son and I have done some bass and catfish fishing where we live in Tennessee, but we’ve never caught fish as fast and in the large numbers as we caught fish with Nate. My son I I did a 6 hour charter and at the end of the day we had a good laugh together before we went to bed, because our arms were sore from all the reeling we did bringing in the fish. Thank you, Nate! We will be back!

Great guide He knows how to get fish in the boat
Nate is a great guy and a great guide. He worked with us on meeting points and was on top of the weather. We dodged the storms both days. He kept us on fish the whole time. He knew the “spots”, and techniques. We did two 8 hour trips and were constantly on fish. His prices are below others in the area. We caught our target species, walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth. If you want to catch fish, I highly recommend Nate Berg.

Got us on fish
Nate is a personable captain with many stories. No one in our party had caught many of the local species and he understood that we wanted some firsts and enough for a meal. He got us on fish and kept the day moving smoothly. He also cut and cleaned our catch, which was great since we were in a rental house not set up for fish processing. He gave us a few recipes as well. Everything worked on his boat and it showed signs of.catching a lot of fish recently!

Great Time!
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!
