Hooked on Tonka – Expert Guided Fishing Trips with Joe Pucel
I am a current college tournament angler with over 5 years of high school tournament fishing experience prior, and an angler of the year title in my senior year. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or a beginner, my guided trips offer an exciting, hands-on experience tailored to all skill levels.
Born and raised on Lake Minnetonka, I have spent a lifetime on the water. I have seen almost every scenario on the lake and can show people new techniques all over the lake. My extensive time on the water ensures an exciting and productive trip!
Choose from a half-day trip or go all-in with a full-day adventure. I specialize in Bass trips, but I am open to: Northern Pike, Muskie, and more while fishing from a 20-foot Bass boat that comfortably accommodates up to five passengers.

✔️ Top-quality rods, reels, and lures
✔️ Personalized instruction
✔️ Cooler with drinks
✔️ Life vests for children (check for available sizes)
What to Bring?
🕶️ Sunglasses & hat
🧴 Non-spray sunscreen
🥤 Bottled water & snacks
Families are welcome, and kids will love the adventure! Book your trip today. Don't miss your chance to reel in the catch of a lifetime!

Joe put us on the fish! Both my 15 y/o son and I each caught 7+ (we stopped counting) largemouth in four hours. Also caught two huge bluegill, a rock bass, and a nearly 3lbs smallmouth (along with a northern pike that was chasing a hooked up bass!). Great overall trip and will look to go out with Joe again!
That was an awesome trip guys, that smallie was truly epic!

Joe did a great job taking us around the lake, having poles set up, and bringing us to areas with fish. We all caught numerous bass and northern. We had a great time! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review guys, had an awesome time!
Captain was very knowledgeable and accommodating. And knew where the fish were. Had a blast
That was an awesome day on the lake!

a very happy experience, Joe is a great fisherman and a great host
Glad to see you guys enjoyed the trip!
