My son and I (only child and 12 going on 35 😉) have been on many charters together. He’s an avid fisherman and I’m a dedicated first mate- everything between catching Shark and Big Tuna in Gloucester, MA all the way to a tiny speed boat cozied up in Lake Geneva, WI.

Captain Brian made our trip! He was by far the best captain we’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. Not only did we get to speak with him on the phone prior to our trip to MN, we left with hugs. He was professional, ensured we had extremely comfortable life jackets on, a pristinely clean boat, fabulous equipment and exotic lures. He knew exactly where to catch the best and most fish for that day, time of day and weather. We caught dozens.

However, what made this trip A Day to Remember was more than just about business acumen and cleanliness and knowledge, it was about the human spirit. He taught my son things with grace and humor, he treated him with respect and kept his spirits up as we spent the first couple hours targeting a species that would have been TOUGH to catch on a super hot day on Lake Minnetonka and made us feel like family.

He was kind, gracious, hilarious yet appropriate, had stories and knew all kinds of “fisherman’s tricks” to catch WHATEVER that lake felt like giving up that day.

As we headed back to shore with the gorgeous Crappie and Pumpkinseed (the fish we chose to keep and cook) in his cooler, my 12 year old reached out his hand and grabbed mine and squeezed it all the way back to the shore. There was an unspoken knowledge between the two of us that that day was A Day to Remember. Not just because we caught fish, not just because he and I were together, not just because we were on vacation in a beautiful boat on a beautiful lake, but because Captain Brian was at the helm and made it unforgettable.

Captain Brian gave my dad and my son a fishing trip they’ll never forget! They went out on Lake Minnetonka from and had an absolute blast. They caught tons of fish, and my son came home absolutely glowing—he said it was one of the most fun things he’s ever done and that he definitely wants to go again someday.

Captain Brian was so kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the lake. He made the experience fun and easy for all ages. His boat was amazing—super clean, well-equipped, and even had an underwater camera setup that let them see the fish and when it was biting in real time. My son thought that was the coolest thing ever!

We’re so grateful for the memories made and would 100% recommend Captain Brian to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip on Lake Minnetonka. He’s the real deal!

We had an awesome experience with Captain Brian at Muskies & More! From the moment we got out on the water, it was clear we were in great hands—we all had fish on within five minutes of dropping our lines! Brian was knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the trip so enjoyable with great conversation and expert guidance. The highlight of our morning was my husband landing a giant pike, definitely a memory we won’t forget! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to have a fun, relaxed, and successful day on the lake.

We had an absolutely amazing day out on the water with Captain Brain or as the kids now call him, “Captain Dude!”
From the moment we got on the boat, he made everyone feel welcome and excited for the trip ahead.
He was incredible with the younger kids. He was patient, funny, and totally in tune with keeping them engaged and safe while still having a great time. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and he made sure everyone was part of the action.
We caught tons of fish and made some great memories. Captain Brain clearly knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to create an experience that’s fun, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Highly recommend booking a trip with him, you won’t regret it!

Captain Brian is a complete professional in every sense and he exceeded our expectations even before we got on the water. We arrived 15 minutes early and he was already there at the dock, with the boat in the water and a friendly smile to greet us. Everything was fully prepped, from a full stack of rigged fishing poles to a fully remote trolling motor that let him guide the boat effortlessly while guiding us on the best ways to cast, present the jigs, and handle the dozens of fish we landed thanks to his help. Within the span of two hours we had caught more largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill than we could count. There’s nothing I could think of to improve his stellar service, and we are now busy recommending him to all our friends who fish or have ever wanted to try it. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a family looking to have a great first experience for your kids, you would be in phenomenal hands with Captain Brian!
