Mike Verdeja's Guide Service 

If you plan on fishing on Lake Mille Lacs, look no further than Mike Verdeja’s Guide Service. Your guide for the day is Captain Michael, bringing aboard years of local experience.

These waters are known for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Muskellunge (Musky), Northern Pike, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" For these species, you’re likely to troll using light tackle. Capt. Michael also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

Your day begins aboard a 19’ Skeeter fishing boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available.

You will need to get 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.

It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray) and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
