Background
Hi, I'm Captain Brian Koshenina, owner/operator of Muskies and More Guide Service. I started fishing at the age of 4 and haven't stopped since. From tournament fishing for Bass, Walleye and Musky to Salmon fishing in Alaska and shark fishing in California, my passion for fishing runs deep! I believe in family, fishing and fun. Fishing is "therapy" and what a better way to enjoy a day on the water than letting me do all the work while you relax and catch fish!
Techniques
I teach "easy to use" methods for catching Crappie, Bluegill, Musky, Bass, Walleye,Trout Casting, trolling,Ice Fishing,Live and artificial bait

One of the questions I get asked the most is how much is a single day license in Minnesota? Well, here's a little chart to help you for 2024. It's really simple to buy a license in Minnesota. You can do it online at the address above or you can go to participating fishing license retailers like but not limited to Holiday gas stations, Walmart, Fleet Farm, bait shops and many other places. It is best to call ahead to make sure that they have a fishing license machine at the store. I hope to see you guys soon!

Early season river Crappies!
Early season river Crappies!
Apr 1, 2024 Minneapolis
With weather permitting, I spent a lot of time this early season on the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Been waiting for the lake water to warm up to bring those pre-spawn crappies shallow. Both the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers are not talked about for their excellent crappie population. Book an early season trip and we'll go catch a limit! Booking pool 2 trips and early season Minnetonka trips

Patiently waiting for ice!
Nov 8, 2023 Minneapolis
I'm trying to be patient and not rush things but I cannot wait for ice season this year! Last year we had an outstanding bite although drivable ice was short lived due to the snow and slush. Book your trip now and get the best available dates! If you've never tried ice fishing I highly recommend it it's a blast!
