Elkhorn, WI, United States

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!

Book Monas Ark Guide Service now for an incredible day out that you won’t forget in a hurry! You are sure to come back time and time again.

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.

Jorry knows how to find the fish
Half Day Trip – Inland Lakes (PM) on June 24, 20222 adults
My son and I had a great experience fishing with Jorry. Jorry helped my son and I learn a few things that made our experience one to remember. We caught close to 60 fish between the two of us (and that's about 50 more than my son and I have caught in our lifetimes) on a half-day trip. Jorry knows the good spots on the lakes where he fishes and he makes good suggestions to help you successfully reel in the quantity or quality of fish you desire. Importantly, Jorry knows what he's doing and really, really wants you to have a good experience. He was very quick to correct my son and I when we didn't know to do some things at the beginning of the trip. Our first hour involved a lot of learning. But because he pushed us a little to improve our fishing skills, we had a very successful final three hours.

Half Day Trip – Inland Lakes (AM) on June 20, 20231 adult1 child
We had a 4 hr fishing trip on Delevan lake with Captain Jory. Had blue gills biting as soon as our bait was in the water. I recommend catch and release on the blue gills if you think you can get meat off them. Very little meat. We didn't realize. Back to our excursion. We then went to another location and caught small mouth bass and walleye. It was a family fun event on the water. Thx Captain!

No offense...but When you learn to fillet Bluegills properly..you get plenty of meat and a great fish fry.
