What a great time!!
5/5
Zach was great!! He took us to a different lake than he wanted. There had been a bunch of fishing events all over the area so he took us somewhere he thought we would do good. We caught walleyes, northern and crappies. Had a great time. Zach is very knowledgeable and so pleasant to be out on the water with. Will definitely look him up again if we are back in the area.

Great day on the water
5/5
We had a birthday group of five teenagers looking to celebrate by catching some fish. We had a great weather day and a variety of fish were biting. Captain Dusty was on point with great instruction, tips and top notch gear. The kids had a great time and most caught something, from Bass, Crappie and Northern Pike. Definitely recommend if you want a boat Captain who knows the lake and the spots to hit to get the fish on!

Great day fishing!
5/5
Captain Brain was a great guide and taught us a lot and improved our skills. We caught pumpkin seed, bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass, pike and walleye. Lost count but we were well over 60 fish in 4 hours. I HIGHLY recommend Muskies and More Guide Service. We drove up from Arkansas and will be back for a full day very soon.

3 brothers and TONS of fish!!!
5/5
My brothers and I had an amazing time fishing with Brian from Muskie and More Guide Service at Orchard Lake! We were targeting crappie and ended up catching some up to 13 inches long—each of us hit personal bests! We only fished the weeds, and Brian’s intuition and experience put us right on the fish. This was my first guided trip ever, and if the rest are even half as good as this one, I’d be thrilled. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks again, Brian—can’t wait to book another trip!

Captain Brian comes through again!
5/5
My son and I had a great time fishing with Brian on Lake Riley. The weather cooperated as did the fish. Caught multiple Black Crappies and Large Mouth Bass. Also a few Blue Gills and one pike made it into the boat. This is my third trip with Brian and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!
