    My wife and I spent a day fishing with Lance last week. It was a great experience overall. He is a genuinely nice guy and excellent fishing guide. He also has first class equipment including a very nice and comfortable boat. We will definitely fish with Lance again.

    Had to learn how to leave a review because lance was a great guide and down to earth guy in general and deserved it. I’ve caught the most walleyes I’ve had in my life as did my girlfriend. He kept us on fish all day taught us some things and made quick work of the fillets for us to take home. Look forward to another outing

    Lance is an awesome guide. He works very hard to get on fish and never disappoints. He’s very professional and fun to fish with. I’m happy to remain a repeat customer. Thanks Lance!

    I am leaving this review speaking on Lance's character. I had my ice fishing trip to MN canceled at the last minute. I have never fished in Wisconsin so I picked a random guide on Winnebago off of Google. When Lance picked up I told him my situation and he was VERY helpful. He sent me a pin on what boat launch he was at that day. He told me what to expect to catch, what to use, and most importantly he told me where to and not to drive my 4 wheeler safely on the ice. He didn't know me from Adam and gave me so much helpful information within 60 seconds of talking on the phone without asking for a penny. Lance, if you read this, thank you very much for your advice. It paid off. I caught my PB perch!
