Running angling trips out of Spring Park, Erickson Guide Service invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Come on aboard with Capt. Kurt, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, ice fishing, jigging, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Walleye, Pike, Crappie, Bass, and Sunfish, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

You’ll be fishing from a 19’ Lund boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers at any single time. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Erickson Guide Service.
