2 Hour Trip – 1st Timer Ice Fishing on February 21, 20262 adults1 child

Took 6 yr old grandson for 2 hours and it was great. Captain Daniel had all the fishing gear, warming shack and ATV to transport us across the ice. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced and it put us at ease. It was slow at first, but fishing in good weather with warm shack was still fishing! When the fish finally started biting, it was all at once and we were not disappointed! Captain Dan made sure our grandson experienced all the fun: tugging on the line, reeling in the huge Northern Pike, and largemouth Bass, holding fish for pictures and releasing them headfirst very gently! 2 hours yielded 3 Pike, 1 largemouth bass and a little boy who wants to be a fishing guide just like captain Daniel. Thank you for a great ice fishing trip.

Great trip with a special guest!
4 Hour Trip on April 26, 20262 adults

We had nonstop opportunities to chase our target species, and the action never really let up. Even better were the surprise fights—hooking into bullhead, largemouth, and a northern pike on light panfish gear made every moment exciting. Picked up some great techniques from Captain Dan, who was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next trip.

Great day on the water!
4 Hour Trip on November 2, 20251 adult1 child

I told Captain Dan that we wanted to target largemouth bass and pike. He took us right to a great spot. My 11 year old son , who is new to fishing, caught a big bass and 4 northern pike! I even caught a couple of pike myself. It was an epic day! Captain Dan was on time, he is very nice and personable, he was very patient and he put us on the fish! I highly recommend his services. He really knows what he’s doing.

My dad got me hooked on fishing. Ever since I was a little boy. Through the years, it seemed. I always had a knack for catching fish. I was helping a guy who owned a bait shop, and he suggested I might want to give guiding a shot.
