Lake Nokomis
Lake Nokomis Guided Fishing Trips
After years of focusing on nearby waters with abundant smallmouth bass, I’m excited to return to Lake Nokomis and offer guided fishing trips starting in Summer . These trips are designed to help anglers discover productive locations and techniques I’ve used over the years. My goal is to help you feel confident fishing the lake on your own after our time together. I prefer targeting bass, northern, and muskie using topwater or shallow presentations for exciting action. While the size and numbers of fish have declined somewhat, understanding conditions like water temp, weed growth, and water levels can still lead to a successful trip. I believe with the right approach, we’ll find fish close to your cabin.
Trip Options for Every Need
I’m now on Nokomis full-time and able to fish more often. Since my boat isn’t built for speed, I offer flexible options, especially for those with their own boats. The Exploratory Trip (3 hours, $250) focuses on fun topwater fishing with realistic expectations—smaller bass and northern, with the possibility of smallmouth and muskie. The Give Me a Break Trip (2.5 hours, $200) is perfect for kids ages 7–18 while parents take a break. As a teacher, I love helping young anglers learn and enjoy the water. Custom trips are available too!
