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?

Very fun, laid back day of fishing

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.

Half Day Trip

Our family had a great 4 hr. trip

VERIFIED

Daniel picked us up at our marble beach campsite launch and we fished Spirit Lake. He asked us what kind of fish we wanted to target, and I just said we want to catch fish. He did not disappoint. We caught 40 plus fish in our 4 hrs. 5-6 walleyes 25" being the largest, a few largemouth bass, Some really large drum fish, lots of perch, crappies and large sunfish. Daniel was so patient helping my 10yr old fishing. We had a great time with Daniel and will for sure go with him again if we are ever back in the area.
