Like many fishing guides, I started early in life with the passion of catching various species of fish. In my case, it was spending a lot of time learning different techniques on the Mississippi River and the larger Walleye lakes of Minnesota. For the past 8 years, I've been fishing competitively on the Minnesota Tournament Trail. I dedicate the majority of my time to fishing Walleye and Saugers. I'm a member of the Walleye Searchers of Minnesota and contribute annually to Take-a-Vet Fishing.

    fun trip with my son

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Mark did ALL the work. Felt like we were cheating. My 22yo son reeled in a 28" walleye which was awesome. He had a good time which was the primary reason I booked the trip.
