I hired Matt’s fishing for a multi species fishing trip on June 19th on Mille lacs. We started fishing for big pike or muskey. Unfortunately we were not able to hook up with any of those but did see several casing just didn’t want to bite. We then switch half way through the day to walleye fishing. After about a hour of that a storm rolled in and he got us off the lake safely before it really hit. When it passed by we went back out. Caught 4 nice walleye kept 2 of them. While out the second time another storm was rolling in and he watch the weather closely making sure we got as much fishing as we could before calling it quits for the day. He even cleaned the fish for us. I highly recommended Matt’s fishing! He’s a great guy fun to talk to and lots of fishing stories. Made the day lots of fun and kept us safe from the weather. Trust what he says and go with his recommendations he knows his stuff, I will be hiring him again.

We had a fantastic day with Matt on Mille Lacs. (He put us on some 4+ lb Smallies!) Matt's 18+ years of experience is obvious and made for a truly fun experience. He was SO good and patient with our 7 year old grandson as well!! I highly recommend Matt for a great day of fishing!

Matt took us out for some mid-September bass fishing and he did an unbelievable job. We must’ve caught over a dozen 18+ inch smallmouth with several in the 14-17 inch range as well. Matt was super nice and knowledgeable and showed us a great time. Best smallmouth bass fishing I’ve ever had by far. 10/10

Matt made booking a day fishing Mille Lacs Lake an easy process and made sure all of our questions were answered. Jack and I had a great day fishing for bass and walleye. Our guide Eric was a true professional in every sense of the word. We both had a great day of fishing with you. Hope to see you next year! Roger Williams
