His boat is a 19’ Alumacraft, equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, radar, and wireless trolling motor. She accommodates up to 3 guests, everyone can fish at the same time, and kids of all ages are welcome aboard. You’ll also have a cooler for your snacks and drinks, as well as a livewell for the bait.
Pj offers several packages, based on the time of year of your trip. Ice fishing can be booked from December to March and all necessary gear will be provided, including tents and heating. You’ll arrive at the meeting point and head out either by foot or vehicle.
His other fishing trips are available from March to November. These trips will give you the opportunity to try some different techniques, including jigging, spinning, popping, and trolling. If it’s your first time, Pj can provide as much assistance as you need or if you’re a seasoned angler, he’ll give as much space as you want.
Your target species include Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Musky, Northern Pike, Sunfish, Crappie, and Yellow Perch. Pj has both light and heavy tackle depending on the weight of the catch. He keeps an array of top-quality rods and reels available on board, made by a variety of brands.
All you’ve got to do is pick up your fishing license before the trip, show up 15 minutes before departure, and the rest will be covered. Feel free to bring food and beverages, as well as any other personal items you may need.

PJ knew where to go and what lures to use. He was very friendly and explained how the fish were acting. We had a great time fishing on lake Minnetonka.
