Captain
Mark Kruger

Member since March 2023 Lake City, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
I like to change my styles of fishing going by the season / water temperature and water flow / Wind direction. Spring fishing is jig fishing and live bait rigging, Early Summer is live bait, casting and trolling crankbaits. Summer is crawler harness and trolling crankbaits. Fall is a mix of things.
