At The Fish Guyd Guide Service, we cater your trip to exactly what you are looking for. We have many styles of fishing and different bodies of water to have the best experience possible. Whether you're chasing the next trophy fish or just looking to fill the cooler with fresh eaters, we've got you covered.
We specialize in fun, laid-back fishing trips across the Brainerd Lakes Area, including legendary waters like Gull Lake, Pelican Lake, and Whitefish Lake. Our mission? To put you on fish and give you a great time doing it. Families, first-timers, seasoned anglers – all are welcome.
We don't just park you somewhere and hope for the best. We move regularly to stay on the fish and tailor every trip to your goals – whether it's Walleyes for dinner, Bass and Pike for action, or that once-in-a-lifetime trophy Musky. With top-notch equipment, local know-how, and a no-pressure vibe, it's no wonder our clients keep coming back.

Jeanne SchmidtRepeat angler4.7VerifiedNick is AWESOME!
4 Hour Trip - 12:30 PM on July 26, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenPicture it! Clear Water Lake end of July 2026. The lake was calm, not a breeze in site nor cloud in the sky and temps in the 90’s. You’d think there would be no way a fish would hit a line… But NICK was the best! He knew where to go, how long to stay, and which side of the boat we’d catch one! Such a great day despite the despicable weather. He was patient and friendly and could bait a hook fast and release our catches faster! Our 8 and 5 year old granddaughters never said they were bored. Not once! He was gentleman and we will call him again. Thanks Nick!!!

4 Hour Trip - 5:00 PM on August 7, 2026 • 5 adultsNick can get you on the fish, no need to scour the site for someone else. He can do it all. Went for pike with my wife we ended up catching 7 total on our 4 hour trip, too bad I missed the two musky hook ups…

Cj PeckRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic experience
4 Hour Trip on July 6, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenNick was a fantastic guide with plenty of knowledge of where the fish are and how to catch them. We were catching fish from start to finish. Our party was 2 adults and 2 kids. Nick was great with the kids, answering questions and showing them what to do. We got done and the kids kept saying can we come back and go with Captain Nick again. We will book again in the future!
