Can you suggest a motel?
There are many places to stay on Mille Lacs. My customers have had good experiences at McQuoid's Inn and Resort who also recieve a 10% discount if you mention that your fishing with us.
Can you handle group or corporate trips?
Absolutely, I work with several other top guides and can tailor a trip to fit your particular needs. Multi species trips (walleye, smallmouth and musky) are available.
Do you guide on any other lakes?
Yes, within an hour's drive of Mille Lacs there are some 30+ smaller lakes that offer great largemouth bass fishing opportunities. At times when Mille Lacs is unfishable, we will fish the smaller lakes when rescheduling is not possible.
Do you guide for any other species?
Unfortunately no, my area of specialization is Bass, smallmouth and largemouth. We often catch northern pike, walleye and Musky while fishing for Smallmouth. I would however, be happy to refer you to top guides that specialize catching toothy critters!
Any other questions feel free to contact me either by email or cell phone. I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.
Thanks,
