Highly recommended!

Half Day Trip3 adults2 children

As soon as we got the boat, my kids said “you need to leave a five star review!” - and I agree. In fact, it’s a day later and I have already highly recommended Captain Brian as a guide to a friend we saw today. Brian is knowledgeable, thoughtful and made for a great experience for me (dad) and my two kids. He gave real thought to how to make the experience a good one for each of us and struck a great balance of letting us take the reins and do all the fishing while also being willing to step in and lend a hand whenever was necessary (like if a kid needed a fish taken off the hook and my hands were full). He was patient and took the time to help my kids with casting and other fundamental of fishing, so I would highly recommend him for families or people just getting into fishing - but at the same time, I think he would be great for more advanced fishing excursions looking for specific types of fish too. We caught tons of fish and my kids have loved telling their friends about the big bass we caught. Brian’s communication before the trip was great and we really enjoyed his company and stories, too. Highly recommended!

    Most fun our grandsons ever had with their grandpa!

    Half Day Trip4 adults3 children

    3 of our grandsons, ages 11, 12 and 13 had a blast on their half day fishing excursion with their papa and Captain Brian Koshenina! The boys had all done some fishing before, but this was their first time fishing with a guide. They each caught lots of fish and made very special memories together. They enjoyed it so much that we just booked another session with Captain Brian to celebrate one of the boy’s birthday in a couple of weeks!

    Response from Captain

    thank you Dawn this trip was a blast! had so much fun with the kids. it made me actually feel like a kid again. anytime they want to go I'd be happy to take them. I'm so glad that they caught fish and had a good time!

    What a Great Time!

    Half Day Trip3 adults

    We came to Minnesota for a bowling tournament/senior trip. The one thing my teenagers really wanted to do was fish while we were here I found Bryan and booked for a half-day fishing trip. Pretty sure we caught 30 or more fish during the time on the lake. I would highly recommend to book with Bryan. He was very easy-going showed us how all the radars worked and was super friendly. We shared many stories while fishing and had an absolute blast.

    Best guide ever!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    Brian was amazing! He took us out and we caught fish after fish. You can forsure say we had an exceptional fishing trip! We may habe been lucky and been fishing at the right time to catch as many as we did but knowing the waters and habing the roght equipment and bait and experience is also a part of it. We caught multiple fish species. We had a very fun time. Every dollar spent was well worth it. I will always recommend Brian and his guide services to anyone and everyone. If I could rate Brian 100 stars, it still wouldnt be enough for the experience we had. You won't be disappointed.

    Best Captain in Minneapolis

    Half Day Trip3 adults1 child

    Captain Brian is easily one of the best fishing captains we have ever chartered. From prompt communication before the trip, ensuring we had all the necessary details and licenses, to being ready to go right at the starting time, he really turns it into a seamless experience. He's also a fountain of wisdom when it comes to fishing for particular species, what tackle works best in various seasons, and is amazing with kids. Every time we book with Captain Brian, we come away with great memories, great photos, and we're already looking forward to our next trip with Muskies and More. You can't go wrong with Captain Brian.

    Thank you so much Rasheed. It's always a good time with you guys. I really appreciate you booking with me and always look forward to our trips. It's so awesome that you guys have a future pro fisherman in Jonathan. he just soaks up the knowledge. It's so fun being on the boat with him. can't wait to see you again.
