If fishing in Mankato is on your bucket list, look no further than MVP Guide Service.

Species like Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, and more could be biting, depending on the time of year. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Myles welcomes you aboard a 19' Alumacraft aluminum fishing vessel with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with MVP Guide Service.

    MVP Guide Service The Best

    1/2 Day Trip on December 22, 2025 • 3 adults

    We found Myles to be a wonderful guide for our ice fishing excursion. He is definitely knowledgeable about the lakes and types of fish that can be caught as well as understanding their water roaming trends. Very pleased with the amount of fish we caught. His tent for the ice fishing is very roomy. More so than other guide services we have found. Very easy to banter with making the afternoon so enjoyable.

    1/2 Day Trip on June 15, 2025 • 3 adults

    Best fishing I’ve ever experienced. Myles is a safe, fun, professional guide, with the most welcoming personality I know. We feel truly blessed every time we book with mvp. Our family has booked with Myles four times already and plan to do more. It’s been so easy for us to just show up to the lakes with a cooler, some snacks, a good attitude, and hop right in to the boat and off we go. Highly recommended and appreciated.

    1/2 Day Trip on December 31, 2025 • 1 adult

    Never been ice fishing before and very minimal experience fishing period. Myles was awesome and taught me a ton about ice fishing. Would definitely recommend and plan to use his guide services in the future.
