Running angling trips out of Garrison, MK Fishing Guide Service invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Come on aboard with Capt. Matt, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Walleye and Smallmouth Bass, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your boat for the day will be an 18’ Alumacraft that fits up to 3 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a wireless trolling motor. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

Please keep in mind that you’ll need a fishing license before the start of the trip. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip, except Smallmouth Bass that are catch and release only.

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 MK Fishing Guide Service.

An Amazing Experience and Father's Day Gift for Dad

VERIFIED

Matt was an excellent guide and captain! In what felt like no time, we had all caught at least one bass, and we even caught a few at the same time! He had all the equipment, knew all the best spots to fish, and made the most out of our trip. Wickedly efficient and quick with a net when a fish was on, and near as quick had a minnow on our line to get the next one! Very knowledgeable and helpful with strategy for catching, and adaptable with the conditions of the lake, for catching methods as well as locations. Definitely kept us where the fish were. Quality rods for us, and quality boat tech and gear to get us fish! Happy to recommend him to anyone! Thank you Matt!!!!

Matt was very knowledgeable and shared multiple techniques with us. He landed us on double digits of walleye and made it a trip to remember! He was just as excited as us when we would get a bite. If you are looking to learn more about fishing walleye, or just a good time out on the lake, Matt is your guy.

“It’s been pretty slow lately”

VERIFIED

Locals said it’s been a slow go on the lake lately. But Matt knew what to use and where to go. Excellent time.

Matt is the real deal

VERIFIED

My grandson and I fished with Matt for 2 days in June and learned an incredible amount about the area, the fisheries, our target species and how to fish for them. Matt is a great teacher, and very patient with youngsters. His equipment is top notch and our results clearly indicate that he knows the area lakes and how to put fish in the boat.
