As a fishing guide, some of the most rewarding trips are those where you can see and feel genuine joy when kids catch fish! The catching part is “key” early in the journey as they learn how to fish.

Walleye season closed on Sunday around our neck of the woods (Brainerd Lakes area), and all Minnesota inland waters so the focus now shifts to panfish, perch, eelpout and now bass!
The new year-long bass season is going to open up a new and different opportunity for us guides and anglers throughout the state.

Water temps are up, weeds are up, and the bobbers are going down! Most of our guides are going the way of bobber and leech/nightcrawler for walleyes.

Around this time of year, leeches become a little more scarce, and the cost is usually higher.

Crappies right now are hungry and vulnerable. They are also fun to catch and they’re great to eat. So what’s the answer? Keep enough for a meal and then go explore other areas and learn some new spots.
