There is nothing quite like sharing a day on the water across generations. Whether you want to spend quality time with your dad, introduce your son to the sport, or you're an avid angler looking to sharpen your edge, these trips are designed to combine great fishing with practical instruction.

We'll focus on consistent action and on-the-water execution. For families, that means a fun, stress-free day catching fish. For serious anglers, we can dive deep into advanced seasonal patterns, targeting Minnetonka's docks and weedlines, and breaking down marine electronics. You'll fish out of a premium, stable Phoenix 920 Pro XP powered by a Mercury Pro XS 250hp, with all top-tier rods, reels, and tackle provided.

My background comes from years of high-level competition, including fishing the Bassmaster Opens circuit and earning multiple top-10 finishes right here on Lake Minnetonka. My goal is to break down tournament-level strategies into practical, easy-to-understand tips that anglers of any age or skill level can actually use on their own future outings.

Guide was knowledgeable and patient. The boat was really nice and loaded with top if the line gear. Made fishing such a pleasure. Caught some great bass and some pike too! Ben was really helpful and taught us some pro fishing techniques.

I'm a Bassmaster Open professional who travels all over the country chasing Bass. Still, I cut my teeth on Lake Minnetonka, and nothing excites me more than putting good folks on plenty of Bass and creating lifelong memories! I hope to see you soon!
