Book your next trip with Tonka West Guide Service and find out what makes the fishing on Lake Minnetonka is so unique. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain’s Jason and Chris knows them forwards and back.

These waters hold game fish like Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Sunfish, Crappie, Northern Pike, Muskellunge (Musky), Largemouth Bass, and more, depending on the time of year. On these trips, it’s common to troll using light tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll be casting lines from a 17’ Alumacraft aluminum fishing boat with room for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. 

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Tonka West Guide Service!
