Independent Guide

Captain Dustin is a professional, fully insured fishing guide serving the Brainerd Lakes Area, including Crosby, Nisswa, and Breezy Point, as well as Mille Lacs Lake. A passionate multi-species angler, Dustin is dedicated to the hunt of predatory water-breathing beasts, especially Walleyes, along with Trout, Northern Pike, Bass, and Crappies.

Dustin thrives on innovative tactics, efficient pattern development, and adrenaline-pumping battles filled with big head shakes, long drag-screaming runs, ear-to-ear smiles, and plenty of high fives. He fishes with quality, proven gear designed to help put trophy fish in the boat and give his guests the best opportunity for a successful day of fishing.

As the great one liked to say, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Come take your shot and fish with Captain Dustin!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
