Captain
Dustin Monson

Member since April 2024 Breezy Point, United States
Background
Dustin is dedicated to the hunt of predatory water-breathing beasts, especially walleyes. He is a multi-species fishing guide who thrives on innovative tactics, efficient pattern development, and adrenaline pumping battles, including but not limited to big head shakes, long drag screaming runs, ear-to-ear smiles and high fives. He's great with the kids and teaching all levels of fishing. He uses high-end fishing gear, which utilize quality materials and proven designs to create effective trophy catching results; which translates to your success on the water.
Techniques
Casting, jigging or trolling are my favorite styles of fishing, though I really enjoy sharpshooting fish with Garmin Livescope. Ask about this technique!
