John Fitzgerald5.0VerifiedWeather be darned
6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 18, 2026 • 4 adultsOur weather was cold and windy but Captain Nick worked his butt off and put us on the fish that were biting! We went out with him 2 days and while not much luck the first day it was not from trying, he had us all over that lake looking for the bite. Second day was much better and we boated a good amount of walleye. We booked the trip months out and can’t predict the weather, I thought we would get skunked but he did a great job putting us on fish. Thanks Captain Nick!
Teri Ispas5.0VerifiedNick saved the day!
4 Hour Trip – Evening on June 29, 2026 • 5 adultsNick saved the day! After a bummer of a day fishing on our own and catching nothing, Nick’s trip boosted much needed morale. Nick was super nice and took us to all the spots he knew to catch fish we were wanting to catch. He answered our sons million questions kindly and used his boat’s magic technology to find the exact spots where the fish were. He knows what he is doing and we would definitely hire him again!

Just finished our annual fishing trip with 5 adults. We hired Nick to take us 3 times over three days. He was able to put us on fish constantly. Nick's knowledge, professionalism and equipment made for an outstanding fishing trip. His boat had plenty of space for the 5 of us. We will definitely hire The Fish Guyd again.
Nick our guide was awesome, worked hard to put us on fish, walleye weren’t biting but we caught a ton of largemouth bass and even some nice sunfish! Had a great time , and hopefully next time the walleye will bite too!
