The Hook Up Guide Service invites you to explore the best fishing that the Geneva Lakes area has to offer. Spend your day on Geneva or Delavan Lakes chasing the hottest bite or pinpointing a specific species of fish, the opportunities are limitless!

The guides are well seasoned and have collective decades of fishing experience.  They are patient anglers who enjoy fishing with seasoned veterans and families alike. Everyone is welcome to join in the adventure and good times are had by all.  Their goal is to catch fish, and fish hard, but also to relax, have fun, and make some fantastic memories.

At the start of your trip, you’ll be greeted with enthusiasm and welcomed aboard one of their 19’ Lund Boats that’s capable of accommodating up to 4 guests. The trip starts by going through the basics of how you’re going to approach the trip. Then, the boat’s off to the hottest spots in the area, and you’re Hooked Up! It’s Fish On!

The boats are equipped with the latest high-quality Hummingbird electronics, Minn Kota motors, and Aqua-Vu cameras to keep us dialed into the spot on the spot.  All of the necessary gear and bait will also be provided for the trip, including high-quality equipment and tackle from Fenwick, Okuma, Pfluger, Quantum, Rapala, and many more.

The list of your potential catches will include Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, Crappie, and Bluegill.

Get your fishing license and pack some snacks. Everything else is covered by the Hook Up Guide Service.
