Tanner's Midwest Guiding – Expert Guided Fishing Trips with Tanner Jacklitch
I am a current college tournament angler with years of high school tournament fishing experience, and a multiple-year Champion's Tournament qualifier. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or a beginner, my guided trips offer an exciting, hands-on experience tailored to all skill levels.
I have spent a lifetime on the water. I have seen almost every scenario on the lake and can show new techniques all over the lake. My extensive time on the water ensures an exciting and productive trip!
Choose from a half-day trip or go all-in with a full-day adventure. I specialize in Bass and Crappie trips, I am also proficient in Northern Pike, Muskie, and more while fishing from a 22-foot multi-species boat that comfortably accommodates up to five passengers.

The boat is a new Vexus DVX multi-species boat with 4 sonar screens and 5 different types of transducers, including a forward view unit, which has changed the game. On the back, there are two shallow water anchors to help with dock fishing and staying on top of fish. One of the seats in the boat is an air ride seat and provides additional comfort to those who are sensitive to rough waves.

Tanner Is Highly Recommended
Our fishing trip with Tanner's Midwest Guide Service was an absolute blast from start to finish! Tanner was incredibly patient with myself and my wife. He answered all of our questions with genuine enthusiasm, making sure we understood every step of the process. Beyond his expertise, Tanner created a really relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. And let me tell you, his equipment was top-notch – everything was meticulously maintained and clearly designed for a successful fishing adventure. And best of all, we caught fish! We thoroughly recommend Tanner's Midwest Guide Service for your next fishing excursion. Peace out!

Great fishing outing for a 12 year birthday gift
Tanner was incredible guiding, encouraging, and lending an hand when needed for all three boys, ages 8,12, and 13. Each kid caught decent sized bass making everybody very happy with their afternoon on the lake. Great communication and very responsive to questions when setting up the adventure. Tanner was also safety conscious, watching the weather and having the youngest in a life jacket when the boat was moving. We will definitely use Tanner for future expeditions!

Son caught his 1st bass.
Tanner made our fishing trip unforgettable! It was my son's first time out on the water, and he had an absolute blast, he's already eager to go again. Tanner was incredibly patient and dedicated, spending so much time teaching my son how to cast, reel, and most importantly, land the fish. His guidance made all the difference, turning a first time experience into a lifelong love for fishing.
