FALL MUSKY SPECIAL - $50 OFF on October 11, 2026 • 2 adults

Had such a great time with Brandon! With the unreasonably hot weather, I was very nervous about our chances- Brandon used his years of experience and knowledge of musky fishing to put us in position for a great morning of fishing! We didnt land a musky, but we did get a spectacular follow with the fish doing 4 turns beside the boat! Awesome to see a large predator fish up close! Brandon was great about sharing his knowledge and teaching techniques on how to catch musky! He has a ton of experience and it shows in the way he goes about the entire process. We had such a great time and I would personally recommend him for any fishing trip you want to take in the metro area!

Twin Cities Musky Fishing Trip – PM on September 12, 2026 • 2 adults

We met Capt. Brandon at the public fishing dock. Brandon was very accommodating and met in a location that was more convenient for us. he showed us how to cast, had all the fishing gear ready and in great working order. After showing up the basics, he had us on tge fishing grounds. We were targeting the ever elusive Musky, and this day the fish remained safe in the waters. Even though we didn’t catch any fish, I was able to spend quality time away from any distractions with my daughter. i will definitely be booking with Brandon next time im in Minnesota.

Twin Cities Musky Fishing Trip – PM on September 3, 2026 • 1 adult

Well didn’t catch anything but ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ regardless. Captain Brandon is a great guy that walks you through everything. Great communication and well kept boat. Chasing Muskie is not like going after a bass, not getting a hit is more common than getting one. I would book again.

Twin Cities Musky Fishing Trip – PM on June 25, 2026 • 2 adults

My son and I had a great time with Captain Brandon. We didn't catch any musky but we had 2 follow the bait in, that was exciting itself. He was very knowledgeable and prepared from start to finish to help and answer any questions. I definitely caught the musky bug will definitely do more musky fishing.

I'm a Minnesota muskie fishing guide, based in the Twin Cities area. I've been fishing my entire life and the passion only continues to grow. Musky fishing is my specialty, I've been chasing these amazing fish for over 20 years. I live and guide in the Twin Cities metro area of Minneapolis Minnesota. I love the challenge of musky fishing and I am genuinely passionate about teaching my guide clients everything I've learned over the years. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone catch their first musky, or their biggest musky, or even watching them witness their first musky follow!
