DO YOU GUARANTEE FISH?
No I do not guarantee fish. Due to weather and other factors the fish may not cooperate. Only two times in the past seven years, have we gone out and not caught a fish.

WHERE DO YOU FISH?
I will fish any lake that you want. Metro lakes are my specialty, but I have experience fishing many of the Greater Minnesota lakes.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
I will supply all rods, reels, tackle, and live bait if needed. You are welcome to bring any rods and reels that you are comfortable with. I will supply life jackets for all ages and sizes. If you have a life jacket you prefer to use, you are welcome to bring it. Dress appropriately. I will supply minimal rain gear, but do not supply sunscreen, sunglasses or hats.

DO YOU SUPPLY THE FISHING LICENSE?
No I do not. However, Minnesota fishing licenses may be purchased at several area bait or sporting goods stores. Also, Minnesota fishing licenses can be purchased nationwide via credit card by dialing 1-888-665-4236 (1-888-MN-LICENse) at any time. The toll-free call provides immediate licensing by way of a license identification number, which will be issued at the time of the call. The license identification number is valid until the customer has received an actual license in the mail. There is an additional $3.50 service fee per call.

DO YOU OFFER TRANSPORTATION?
We can meet at the lake, a neutral site, or the hotel you are staying at.

DO YOU OFFER FOOD?
I will offer sodas or water on all trips. For full day trips I will also provide a brown bag lunch. If you would prefer to stop at a restaurant on the lake for lunch we can do so, however, you would be responsible for paying for your own lunch.

CAN WE KEEP OUR FISH?
I personally practice catch and release so fish can be caught again, although I will never say you cannot keep a fish (as long as it complies with state regulations). Fish-cleaning service is also available for an additional fee.

DO YOU OFFER CORPORATE OR LARGE GROUP TRIPS?
Absolutely! I can accommodate any size group. Special accommodations will be made for more than 2 people, as I will provide additional guides for you.

ARE YOU AVAILABLE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK?
Yes. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate people on weekdays as well as weekends.

CAN I GET PHOTOS OF THE FISH I CATCH?
Yes, I will have a camera at all times. However, there may be a bit of a delay in getting them to you, so you are welcome to bring your own camera.
