    Awesome Time!!

    3 Hour Trip (AM / PM) on July 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    My dad and I had a great time fishing with Bob! He was very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgable. It was very obvious that he is passionate about what he does. We moved around a lot and I love that Bob even fished with us! He put us on some great fish! We easily caught over 25 fish, including small mouth, large mouth, bluegill, perch, and walleye! We will definitely be booking with Northwoods Angling Edge again!!

    Bob is the best

    4 Hour Trip on May 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    Bob made the trip something I will never forget! We were targeting small mouth bass and crappie. Captain Bob was knowledgeable and possibly the best guide I've ever worked with. He is good at teaching as well. Very good person to learn from

    Versatile Guide

    8 Hour Trip on August 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was an 8-hour trip split between 2 lakes and 2 different fishing styles. The first half of the trip was for muskie on one lake, then a different lake for perch, bass, and walleye. So, with this guide, there are options depending on your preferences and the fishing conditions. Boat, tackle, and electronics were in excellent condition, including a live camera you can use to see the fish swimming below the boat if you want. Nice, relxing, enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend.

    Started out very slow and we tried every location and spots and then we finally picked up walleye, bass, crappie and Rock Bass. Bob let my kids and I stay out for another hour. Would book again and recommend him highly.

    Some catches from August. With the water temps slowly dropping the bite will get better. Minnows are definitely the way to go now. Tight lines and enjoy the Northwoods. Thanks Bob Northwoods Angling Edge.
