Great Guide !!

Brandon did a great job teaching us how to ice fish. He made sure we were warm and had all the equipment for us! Great guide and got me my new PR for Pike off of a tip up. Very knowledgeable and personable!

    Fishing with Brandon

    4Hr Open Water Fishing (1 – 2 Guests) • 6 adults • 4 children

    we had a wonderful time. The staff was so great. We enjoyed our time and definitely would do it again and next time we'll have to try an ice fishing trip. They bent over backwards to take care of us in every way and made sure that our grandsons had a wonderful time. Thank you thank you again. We would definitely advise you to see them and make a trip with him.

    February fishing trip

    8Hr Ice Fishing (Morning)1-6 guests

    We were introduced to Northern Hoosier by way of a winning bid through a silent auction. We appreciated the easy-go of date scheduling directly with our guide down to the shared location pin of where we'd be fishing in advance. Everything was provided as promised and all we needed to do was show up in warm layers with a fishing license in hand. Brandon's previous work as a special education instructor really shines when interacting and instructing with his charter guests. He talked us through step-by-step instructions as well as the behind the scene tidbits and tricks. We were impressed with the creative and rustic-but very complete set-up that kept us comfortable the entire time and his knowledge that he brings to the business. Get on his calendar, you won't be disappointed!

    8 hour ice fishing trip noon to 8pm

    8Hr Ice Fishing (Morning)1-6 guests

    What an amazing day even with that wind blowing up some snownadoes! A huge thank you to Brandon with Northern Hoosier Outdoors for creating a day that will definitely be remembered. No one can guarantee fish but this guy definitely knows them and we were all able to get at least one fish! Trevor (5 years old) got the longest, a pike, at 35 inches! I got my personal best as well at 34 inches. Brandon is a natural with kids and finds little jobs for them to do to make them feel involved. Everyone was able to stay toasty and Ryan who usually dislikes ice fishing because of the cold was was a happy camper. If you were ever thinking about an ice fishing guide this is the one to get, very affordable and can accommodate larger groups of people currently up to 6 with plans of larger for the future. He loves a group that just wants to fish and to have fun!

    Puts you on fish

    I’ve been out fishing with Brandon plenty of times and have always been put on fish, this is my biggest pike, measured in at 34 inches, beating my previous pb at 33 inches, which was caught while fishing with Brandon as my guide. During ice fishing he provides nice warm tents/houses with good hot food, and has plenty of spare equipment for people to use whether it’s during ice season or open water he finds fish.

    Thank you for the great review Adrian! The one day I’ll never forget, when you and I boated over 150 pike in the course of a day from sunrise to sunset! You beat your PB 5 times that day! 🤣 Thanks again bud! Hope to get you and your family out again this winter! - Brandon (AKA Northern)
