Wild Dog Good Guide Service offers hands-on charters for a wide variety of species.  We try to stay on the best bite depending on season.  Capt. Guy is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You'll be using techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging, depending on what you're going after. As part of their 6-hour trips, you can target species like Sauger, Walleye, Salmon, Pike, Muskellunge, and Lake Trout, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

You'll be fishing from a 21' Lund boat with enough room for up to 3 anglers at any single time. It also includes a wireless trolling motor.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price.

Please keep in mind you'll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.

While catch and release is mandatory for Musky, you're welcome to keep any other fish that's within the legal limits.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Wild Dog Good Guide Service.

Had more fun than we expected. Caught more fish than we expected. They were bigger than we expected. Captain Guy called the day before with an action plan that he thought would have the best chance of success and he delivered big time!

Thanks for your kind review. Gotta do what the fish want when they want it. Glad you enjoyed the experience. There is no experience in fresh water fishing like a drag-screaming king salmon!
