Our experience with Unlimited Guide Service was great and we all had a blast on during our ice fishing outing. We had to cancel twice earlier due to the weather issues (to warm and then to cold) and Anthony with Unlimited Guide Service was easy to work with and very honest and flexible with scheduling. Our party included three adults and three 11 year old boys; and this was everyone's first time ice fishing. Anthony, Tyler, Patrick and Lilly were patient, fun and extremely knowledgeable. We arrived at 6am and were whisked away to the ice fishing huts on ATVs (which the boys really loved). Patrick worked with the boys on getting them set up and comfortable with the equipment. Anthony and Tyler worked with us to get us trained on how to ice fish with their gear. Everything from the huts to the fishing equipment was top-notch (they use sonar fish finders, etc.) and the team at Unlimited Guide Service went out of their way to make sure our excursion was memorable; which it was. To top it off, they cooked us a delicious breakfast when it all wrapped up. I'd highly recommend using Unlimited Guide Service for ice fishing and I plan on reaching out for walleye fishing in the summer.
Glad everyone had a good time. Have a great spring. Hope to see you again.
We were interested in ice fishing, but didn’t really know where to start. So, we decided to go with a guide service. The guys at Unlimited were great. Very communicative from the minute we booked the trip. They also provided everything we needed to make it a fun and worry-free experience. These guys know their stuff. They explained everything really well and we left with a bunch of crappie! We were also glad to be in a heated shanty on what happened to be one of the coldest days this winter. I highly recommend booking with Unlimited. We’re even thinking of booking one of their summer trips in the future.

If you're looking for an unforgettable ice fishing experience on the Chain of Lakes in Illinois, look no further than Tyler. From start to finish, he ensures a seamless, fun, and highly educational trip for both seasoned anglers and complete beginners alike. His deep knowledge of the local lakes, fish patterns, and ice conditions is truly impressive. He can easily pinpoint the best spots based on the time of year and weather conditions, giving you the highest chances for a successful catch. What sets this guide apart, however, is the family-friendly environment he creates. He has a wonderful ability to connect with people of all ages, ensuring that everyone—from young children to grandparents—feels comfortable and engaged. It's clear he values making lasting memories and fostering a love of ice fishing in the next generation. His patience, enthusiasm, and personable nature create an atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel like a warm family gathering, even in the coldest of winter months. Whether you're looking to learn the basics of ice fishing, want to improve your technique, or simply enjoy a day outdoors with loved ones, this guide delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a top-tier fishing experience in a welcoming, family-oriented setting!

I was lucky enough to book with Unlimited last year, on one of the few days there was good ice. I had great time. Patrick and Anthony were fun and engaging. We caught blue gill, crappie, and catfish. I have already booked again with them for a trip in late December. Hopefully the ice is ready to go.
I took my adult son for our first ice fishing trip. Everything went well, the staff was good and we had plenty of chances on fish.
