Great trip with non-stop action!!

Half Day Trip - 4:00 PM2 adults

Fishing trip on Lake Riley. Captain Brian was at the dock and ready to go before our scheduled time and after brief safety instructions took us out and put us on the fish. The boat was exceptionally clean and organized, rods and tackle were ready to be cast and to start catching! We got our first bites within seconds and caught a good number of smallmouth ans large mouth bass, crappie, walleye, and some large bluegill and sunnies thrown in there. Some of the bass were real monsters!!

    Just a great trip. Been on more than a few guided fishing charters and although al have been great, there's alwayssome nit to pick, but not here. Willing to changes lures, techniques, hell even lakes (we didn't, but right off the bat Captain said if we needed to head to another lake it wouldn't be an issue)! We ended up with 30+ fish i the boat, some small, some picture worthy. Bass, northern and walleye were the targeted species and Captain put us on them. Boat was super clean and well maintained, great layout for 3 to cast comfortably. If you are a seasoned angler or a rookie, don't hesitate, thia is the one you are looking for!

    Great experience!

    Captain Brian took my wife, son, and I fishing at Lake Riley and the action started as soon as we had our line in the water. The fishing was great and the time spent with Brian was even better. We caught a lot good size large mouth bass, crappie, bluegills, and sunfish. My wife even caught a big walleye! Captain Brian was very generous in sharing his fishing knowledge with my son. My son is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to Brian very quickly. He said the best part of our trip was not only the fishing, but Captain Brian made him feel like he's known him for years! We highly recommend fishing with Captain Brian and my son is already planning our next fishing trip with him!

    Highly recommended!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 2 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!

    Best guide ever!

    Half Day Trip • 2 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 Trip • 3 adults • 1 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.
