If you plan on fishing in Spirit Lake, look no further than Iowa Angler Guide Service.

Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Crappie, Sunfish, Catfish, Muskellunge (Musky), Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch, and more are in the cards, depending on the season. You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your trip begins aboard a 21' Skeeter bass boat with room for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to get 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, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Your trip with Iowa Angler Guide Service is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Awesome Fishing Trip for me and my young kids!
3/4 Day Trip on July 25, 20261 adult2 children

Daniel was AWESOME with our group! I had my 2 boys 5 & 9 yr for 3 hours and then2 daughters 8 & 12 for 3 hours and they were reeling in fish constantly of all kinds, Largemouth, Yellow Bass, Perch, Bluegill, Crappie, Pumpkin Seed. And he was so great with the kids. Teaching and answering questions and joking and just being a chill and helpful guide. Would 100% recommend and will be back!

Expert Fishing who is great with kiddos!
Half Day Trip on July 15, 20262 adults1 child

This experience was great! Dna put us where the fish were and he had a ton of knowledge. Ge was also great with us and our six year old daughter. She would get so frustrated and he was so gentle and patient! This was great experience that we know our daughter will never forget. we caught mostly crappie and bluegill and after the trip he filleted our fish! Book him, you wint regret it.

Very fun, laid back day of fishing
3/4 Day Trip on October 4, 20253 adults

Daniel is an awesome guide. He’s go a lot of experience and would be a great guide for anyone from a novice child all the way up to a seasoned pro. He’s very patient, easy-going, and puts in max effort to ensure you get fish on. He also personable and fun to hang out with. We had a great day and I’d recommend him without hesitation. His boat, equipment, and tackle are all top notch as well.
