I'm a Minnesota muskie fishing guide, based in the Twin Cities area. I've been fishing my entire life and the passion only continues to grow. Musky fishing is my specialty, I've been chasing these amazing fish for over 20 years. I live and guide in the Twin Cities metro area of Minneapolis Minnesota. I love the challenge of musky fishing and I am genuinely passionate about teaching my guide clients everything I've learned over the years. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone catch their first musky, or their biggest musky, or even watching them witness their first musky follow!

    4-Hour Musky Fishing Trip – PM1 adult

    Well didn’t catch anything but ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ regardless. Captain Brandon is a great guy that walks you through everything. Great communication and well kept boat. Chasing Muskie is not like going after a bass, not getting a hit is more common than getting one. I would book again.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for sharing the boat with me! Had a blast talking about fishing with you!

    1st musky trip

    4-Hour Musky Fishing Trip – PM2 adults

    My son and I had a great time with Captain Brandon. We didn't catch any musky but we had 2 follow the bait in, that was exciting itself. He was very knowledgeable and prepared from start to finish to help and answer any questions. I definitely caught the musky bug will definitely do more musky fishing.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for fishing Kevin! I had a great time on the water with you guys!

    Great guide!

    4-Hour Musky Fishing Trip – PM2 adults

    Brandon had big knowledge about not just the fish but nature around everything that surrounded the musky. He was helpful and guided us through our questions. I would love to recommend him to other wanting a 10/10 fishing experience!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Jonas, it was a pleasure to fish with all of you! I enjoyed hearing about your fishing experiences from Sweden! I truly hope you are able to get back to Minnesota again sometime, I'd love to help you catch a musky!

Summer Heat

Jul 14, 2026 • Minneapolis
The major heat wave we're experiencing here in the Twin Cities has taken its toll on the fishing, but we're still catching. The fish have been relating heavily to the weeds during this hot weather. I'm anticipating the bite to improve when the extreme heat leaves next week.

Summer walleyes are a blast!

Jul 10, 2026 • Minneapolis
These summer walleyes have been a blast to chase! They're constantly on the hunt when the water warms so power fishing from school to school is the name of the game. Book your trip while there is time.

Minnesota Summer Walleye Fishing Report:

Jul 7, 2026 • Minneapolis
My top producing walleye lake is pumping out fish on a daily basis right now. Most people call July and August the "dog days of summer" and struggle to catch fish. My pattern on the other hand is just getting started. The best part is, I'm on a smaller lake just outside the Twin Cities where far fewer boats are fishing. Looking to catch more walleyes without spending time searching? Book a guided trip with Musky Geek Guide Service and fish proven Minnesota walleye waters using current patterns that are producing fish right now. Summer dates are limited, so reserve your trip early.
