About Your Trip
Experience everything that has made Mille Lacs Lake one of the Midwest's premier fishing destinations on a guided adventure with Mike. Available in both half-day and full-day options, these trips are designed to maximize your time on the water while targeting some of Minnesota's most sought-after game fish. Whether you're hoping to battle a hard-fighting smallmouth bass, hook into a trophy musky, or put fresh walleye in the livewell, you'll spend the day fishing alongside
a guide who knows these waters inside and out.
Every outing is customized around current conditions, seasonal patterns, and your preferred style of fishing. Throughout the day you'll fish a variety of productive structure using proven techniques such as trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, and light tackle presentations. Fly anglers are welcome as well, though you'll want to bring your own fly fishing equipment if you plan to fish on the fly.
The half-day trips are perfect for anglers looking to experience Mille Lacs during an evening bite, with a primary focus on the lake's world-class smallmouth bass and walleye fisheries. Full-day adventures provide additional time to cover more water and expand your opportunities, allowing you to target not only smallmouth bass and walleye, but also northern pike and the legendary muskellunge that call Mille Lacs home.
You'll fish from a well-equipped 19-foot Skeeter powered by a 150 HP Yamaha, offering a smooth, comfortable ride for up to three guests. Outfitted with modern electronics, GPS, a fishfinder, live bait well, wireless trolling motor, and plenty of storage, the boat is perfectly equipped for a productive day on the lake.
Rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait, bottled water, and catch cleaning and filleting are all included, so all you need to bring is a valid Minnesota fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, sunglasses, and any snacks you'd like for the day. Families are always welcome, and children are encouraged to join the adventure, making this an excellent way to introduce the next generation to one of Minnesota's greatest fishing traditions.
Whether you're visiting Mille Lacs for the first time or returning in search of another unforgettable day on the water, Mike's local knowledge, patient instruction, and passion for the fishery will help make your trip one to remember.
