Fantastic New Experience!
4 Hour Trip – Lake Minnetonka - 1:00 PM on June 8, 20266 adults

Super fun day! Started with lunch at Lord Fletchers where the charter was waiting for our party of 6. Powerful engine which made it fun just getting to the first fishing spots. Captain Dusty was extremely knowledgeable and patient since several of us have rarely fished. The group caught about 20 Northern and Bass with an almost Muskie catch. Our San Diego guests said it was the best day ever in Minnesota. We’ll be booking with Dusty again.

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Northern Pike

Spring fishing trip
4 Hour Trip – Lake Minnetonka on May 17, 20266 adults

We had the opportunity to go out on a fishing trip with Captain Dusty. We had a great time! Dusty got us into some spring crappies. It was a bit of a frenzy with all of the fish we were catching. In our group, we had 5 13 yr olds, and one adult. he was great getting us set up and helped with removing fish and untangling lines. He had tons of patience and knew exactly where the fish were! I would highly recommend DH custom Rods for any of your fishing trips!

Response from Captain

was a great trip! Thanks Kevin.

What a professional captain. There is nothing like meeting a boat captain with a smile on his face and ready to fish! Not only does he know the waters & depths like the back of his hand, but he puts you on the fish and knows the perfect place to drop the bait for the big bite. He is amazing with young anglers, answers every question, while sharing his knowledge of the fish and lake. You are missing out if you don't book with Dusty. He takes his time to take photos to share with family or on social media. Thank you for an awesome time today!

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass

Thanks, David! It was great meeting you all, and She's a crusher! Love it when a teenager gets on my boat and just "gets" it. Here was her big one!;
