Ready to catch some fish in the Eden Prairie/Minnetonka Area? Joe's Guide Service is your ticket! Your guide for the day is Captain Joseph, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, Crappie, Northern Pike, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

The captain has a strict catch-and-release policy, so any fish you catch will go back in the water.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 18.5' Crestliner PT 18 bass boat with space for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group that is over the age of 16 years old. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Joe's Guide Service will make it easy for you to go fishing in Eden Prairie/Minnetonka Area. So, how about booking that trip?

Excellent!
3 Hour Trip – Weekday Evening on June 2, 20263 adults
Bass and Northern. Nonstop fun and excitement. all three of us were busy landing fish the whole time of the three hour trip. Captain Joseph knows the lake, has the right equipment and the experience to make your trip successful! He showed us a lot about where the fish will be found and the best way to trigger them to bite. His knowledge of fishing is broad. He actively competes in fishing tournaments. He made many happy memories for our group. You should book him today!

Joe was so friendly and so patient with my two grandkids. The kids had so much fun catching nice bass and northern pike they couldn’t go to sleep when we got home! I will be bringing my littles again soon to fish with Joe! Highly recommend
