About Your Trip

Fish Like a Pro with Captain Chad on Lake Minnetonka!

If you’ve ever wanted to fish like the pros do, this is your chance. Just 15 miles from the Twin Cities, the legendary waters of Lake Minnetonka are calling—and Captain Chad is ready to guide you to the action. With over 16 years of experience and a lifetime of fishing under his belt, Captain Chad delivers a professional-grade angling adventure like no other.

Perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels, this trip is family-friendly and beginner-approved. As a youth coach and proud father of three young anglers, Captain Chad has a talent for making fishing exciting and accessible for kids, adults, and everyone in between.

You’ll be riding in style aboard a 20’ Ranger Sport Fisherman, built in 2017 and purpose-designed for tournament fishing and guided comfort. Outfitted with GPS, radar, and all the latest navigation gear, this boat ensures you’ll spend less time searching and more time reeling them in. There’s plenty of space onboard for up to three anglers to fish comfortably.

Everything you need is included: fresh or live bait, lures, rods, reels, and terminal tackle, all tournament-quality and hand-picked for success. You’ll even get to use top-tier gear like an underwater camera to dial in on where the fish are holding. Whether you're targeting Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, or Yellow Perch, Captain Chad will get you set up with the right technique and equipment for every bite.

And when it comes to safety, Captain Chad has you covered. The boat is fully equipped with life jackets, fire extinguishers, a first-aid kit, and a CPR-trained crew, giving you peace of mind while you focus on landing your next trophy.

All you need to bring is a valid Minnesota fishing license, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and your favorite snacks or lunch. Captain Chad will handle the rest, ensuring you have a smooth, exciting, and productive day on the water.

Whether you're chasing your first catch or looking to learn how the pros do it, this trip is your gateway to a true Minnesota fishing experience.

Book your Lake Minnetonka adventure today and make memories that will last a lifetime!
