We are there, Labor Day weekend already! Wow, did this summer go by fast! I guess, on the bright side, hunting season is upon us, and the best fishing of the year is coming, too. I was out this morning with Joanie, Neil, and Elliott. We were up on the Whitefish Chain (north of Brainerd, MN), and we had a really nice morning. I found a school of walleyes right out of the gate and handed Elliott (7) a fishing rod with a 1/4-ounce jig, stinger, and rainbow chub. He dropped it to the bottom, and the kid was hooked up immediately. He is a natural fisherman; if you know, you know. Some people are born with the gift, and he definitely was. We caught walleye, pike, bluegill, and perch. I cleaned them up and sent them back south with a Ziploc bag of fillets. This open-water season has been busy, and I’m thankful that many of you have already booked for the late season and ice fishing season! We are going to move right from the fall fishing into the ice season, so if you’d like to book a trip, please call or text Shelley at 218-839-5598 and get on the calendar!

Enjoy this weekend with your famly and friends and be safe and smart on the water and on the roads!,

The "dog days" of August are upon us, but we continue to catch fish up here in the Brainerd Lakes Area. It's been a very busy open-water season thus far, and Shelley continues to "book em"! So, if you are looking to get out on the water, we are here for you. We have been fishing a lot of the area lakes, and that's the beauty of living where we live. I was out with the Hugdahls this morning, and...

I hope you all had a nice weekend! We celebrated the 250th anniversary of our country in Bozeman, MT, by welcoming our 2nd grandchild into this world. Back on the water tomorrow, and it's going to be a scorcher. We are well into our season, and the guides have been doing a lot of trips! Some walleyes are cooperating, but many of the folks we fish with this time of year are looking for action....

“Dan is an incredible guide. He is personable and knows the Brainerd Lakes area like none other. I suggest anybody who wants to get into fishing and doesn’t want to spend all the time and money to try to figure out how to catch ‘em to just hired Dan and his team!”

“Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleyedan. Our guide was Dustin and he was so friendly and engaging with a wealth of knowledge and tips . We caught the amount of fish we wanted for a fish fry and man were they tasty. Besides Dustin’s skills, his friendly personality made the day. We HIGHLY recommend Walleyedan’s guide service.”

“Wonderful experience!! Our guide Chuck picked us up from our resort and was incredibly sweet. One person in our group had never touched a rod and landed a 42 inch plus musky. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!!”
