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.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 15, 2025

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.
