    Fantastic captian and trip!

    Full Day Trip on October 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and i came from Virginia to catch a muskie and very very pleased with our trip. Captain Brian is a very knowledgeable angler and excellent companion to have in a boat. He put us on multiple pike on day one and my son caught a very nice Muskie on day two. But even if we had not caught one, it was a pleasure to spend two days fishing with Brian, his knowledge is extensive and his personality is great! I would recommend a trip with him to anyone!

    Full Day Trip on September 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    Just a great trip. Been on more than a few guided fishing charters and although al have been great, there's alwayssome nit to pick, but not here. Willing to changes lures, techniques, hell even lakes (we didn't, but right off the bat Captain said if we needed to head to another lake it wouldn't be an issue)! We ended up with 30+ fish i the boat, some small, some picture worthy. Bass, northern and walleye were the targeted species and Captain put us on them. Boat was super clean and well maintained, great layout for 3 to cast comfortably. If you are a seasoned angler or a rookie, don't hesitate, thia is the one you are looking for!

    Great experience!

    Half Day Trip on August 8, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Brian took my wife, son, and I fishing at Lake Riley and the action started as soon as we had our line in the water. The fishing was great and the time spent with Brian was even better. We caught a lot good size large mouth bass, crappie, bluegills, and sunfish. My wife even caught a big walleye! Captain Brian was very generous in sharing his fishing knowledge with my son. My son is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to Brian very quickly. He said the best part of our trip was not only the fishing, but Captain Brian made him feel like he's known him for years! We highly recommend fishing with Captain Brian and my son is already planning our next fishing trip with him!

    Best guide ever!

    Half Day Trip on June 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brian was amazing! He took us out and we caught fish after fish. You can forsure say we had an exceptional fishing trip! We may habe been lucky and been fishing at the right time to catch as many as we did but knowing the waters and habing the roght equipment and bait and experience is also a part of it. We caught multiple fish species. We had a very fun time. Every dollar spent was well worth it. I will always recommend Brian and his guide services to anyone and everyone. If I could rate Brian 100 stars, it still wouldnt be enough for the experience we had. You won't be disappointed.

    Best Captain in Minneapolis

    Half Day Trip on May 10, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Brian is easily one of the best fishing captains we have ever chartered. From prompt communication before the trip, ensuring we had all the necessary details and licenses, to being ready to go right at the starting time, he really turns it into a seamless experience. He's also a fountain of wisdom when it comes to fishing for particular species, what tackle works best in various seasons, and is amazing with kids. Every time we book with Captain Brian, we come away with great memories, great photos, and we're already looking forward to our next trip with Muskies and More. You can't go wrong with Captain Brian.

    Great trip with non-stop action!!

    Half Day Trip - 4:00 PM on August 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Fishing trip on Lake Riley. Captain Brian was at the dock and ready to go before our scheduled time and after brief safety instructions took us out and put us on the fish. The boat was exceptionally clean and organized, rods and tackle were ready to be cast and to start catching! We got our first bites within seconds and caught a good number of smallmouth ans large mouth bass, crappie, walleye, and some large bluegill and sunnies thrown in there. Some of the bass were real monsters!!

    Great afternoon - fish in the boat!

    Half Day Trip on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a gangster afternoon fishing trip with Captain Brian. We put fish in the boat in the first 5 minutes and it continued the rest of the time. Very knowledgeable guide and high quality equipment and boat. Beautiful lake and lots of quality fish. Crappie, walleye, and bass were caught in abundance. several very large, bass were also netted. Brian put us in a position to catch fish, and we did!! Highly recommended this trip to anyone visiting beautiful Minneapolis.

    Most fun our grandsons ever had with their grandpa!

    Half Day Trip on July 17, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    3 of our grandsons, ages 11, 12 and 13 had a blast on their half day fishing excursion with their papa and Captain Brian Koshenina! The boys had all done some fishing before, but this was their first time fishing with a guide. They each caught lots of fish and made very special memories together. They enjoyed it so much that we just booked another session with Captain Brian to celebrate one of the boy’s birthday in a couple of weeks!

    What a Great Time!

    Half Day Trip on July 16, 2026 • 3 adults

    We came to Minnesota for a bowling tournament/senior trip. The one thing my teenagers really wanted to do was fish while we were here I found Bryan and booked for a half-day fishing trip. Pretty sure we caught 30 or more fish during the time on the lake. I would highly recommend to book with Bryan. He was very easy-going showed us how all the radars worked and was super friendly. We shared many stories while fishing and had an absolute blast.

    Came down from Canada to visit my sister and figured we would get some fishing in. Had a wonderful experience with Captain Brian, he was extremely informative and immediately made us feel comfortable. To top it off we caught a beautiful spotted muskie!

outstanding opportunity to better yourself as an angler
Half Day Trip - 4:00 PM on October 17, 2026 • 2 adults

Brian was an absolute pleasure to fish with! His knowledge of musky fishing is incredible, and no matter what question you throw at him, he has an answer backed by experience and passion. He makes the entire experience enjoyable, educational, and memorable. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion shines through every minute on the water. If you’re looking for a musky guide who knows his stuff and is just as great to be around as he is knowledgeable, Brian is your guy. Highly recommend!

As soon as we got the boat, my kids said “you need to leave a five star review!” - and I agree. In fact, it’s a day later and I have already highly recommended Captain Brian as a guide to a friend we saw today. Brian is knowledgeable, thoughtful and made for a great experience for me (dad) and my two kids. He gave real thought to how to make the experience a good one for each of us and struck a great balance of letting us take the reins and do all the fishing while also being willing to step in and lend a hand whenever was necessary (like if a kid needed a fish taken off the hook and my hands were full). He was patient and took the time to help my kids with casting and other fundamental of fishing, so I would highly recommend him for families or people just getting into fishing - but at the same time, I think he would be great for more advanced fishing excursions looking for specific types of fish too. We caught tons of fish and my kids have loved telling their friends about the big bass we caught. Brian’s communication before the trip was great and we really enjoyed his company and stories, too. Highly recommended!
