About Your Trip

I offer a variety of fishing trips.

We have 4-hour, 6-hour, 8-hour, and multiple-day trips available.  I am flexible and will discuss other fishing opportunities and prices for my clients and large parties.

Since each lake has its own personality which is affected by seasonal patterns and weather conditions, I will try to put you on water that increases your chances of success for both the trophy angler as well as those seeking their first fish. I will also move from one lake to another if conditions dictate.

Local lodging can be arranged if available.

Largemouth, Smallmouth, & Walleye:

I also guide for Largemouth, Smallmouth and Walleye during the month of May. The area lakes I guide all have different size and quantity limits. Please check with the WDNR on the lake you wish to fish before you book your trip. Limits can change during the spring due to spearing quotas.

Live bait is extra.

On any trip with proper notice, additional guides are available.

 

ATTENTION ANGLERS: With my tournament schedule and the demand for prime time, these trips book fast. Take this opportunity to contact me with any questions or to book a trip.

RESERVATION STIPULATIONS:

I request a deposit of 25%. Reservations are not guaranteed unless accompanied by a deposit. Cancellations affect me significantly. Most of my reservations are made well in advance. If you should need to cancel, your deposit will be refunded only if you notify me more than 90 days prior to your arrival date. If you cancel closer than 90 days I will happily return your deposit if I can rebook your dates. Personal checks are accepted for reservations, but only cash or cashier's checks will be accepted upon arrival for the duration of the reservation.

At the beginning of each trip, I go over equipment and emergency basics to insure your safety. If you have any special needs, please let me know.
