Easily accessible from Milwaukee and Chicago locations, Monasark Guide Service is a multi-species inland guide service that services the inland lakes of Southeast Wisconsin. Captain Jory Simmons has years of experience and will take you to the hottest spots for the most productive day.

Hop aboard an 18' Alumacraft boat that holds up to 3 guests plus the captain. Powered by a 75 HP Yamaha motor and featuring Garmin electronics, the boat is well suited to these waters and will offer a comfortable fishing trip for everyone on board.

You will fish Lake Delavan and Lake Geneva for Northern Pike, panfish, and Bass. Whatever your skill level, there is a fish out here with your name on it. Even children are welcome on board and will love reeling in their first-ever fish.

Capt. Jory specializes in fishing for Bluegill, although he also regularly targets other species. His aim is to teach the art and techniques of finding, catching, cleaning (and eating!) panfish in Wisconsin's Inland Lakes.

Offering both half and full day trips, the crew provides everything you need for an enjoyable day on the water. You'll use top-quality rods and reels that won't let you down when reeling in your trophy catch or personal best. Live bait is also included in the price.

Please bring along a valid fishing license for the day, as well as any food and drinks you'd like. You'll want to keep your energy up!

Good Captain and a fun day!
Half Day Trip – Inland Lakes (AM) on August 12, 2024 • 2 adults

My wife and I were not interested in catching trophies. We were just looking for lots of action. Captain Jory did the job. Holding a rod in our hands and using live bait we felt the bites and caught fish. Walleye, pike, bass, big bluegills, and perch. It was a good day and Captain Jory didn't waste time fishing spots where the fish weren't biting.

    Captain Jory put us the fish and we caught over 50 fish using Jory’s modified drop shot using both leeches and worms. Others around us were not seen to catch fish. Had a great time with Jory. He explained everything on on to fish for both bass and bluegills.
