Ben Demo’s Fishing Guide Services

Spend the day with Ben Demo’s Fishing Guide Services and discover what fishing in Minneapolis is all about!

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some. You can expect to do some spinning, casting, live baiting if the bite calls for it, and heavy cover fishing. You can keep any fish other than Bass and Musky.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 20’ Bass boat with space for 2 passengers. It has a pedestal seat and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Kids are welcome aboard!

Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. You can buy your fishing license at any Holliday in the state or the local Scheels and Cabela’s as well. More information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be bottled water available on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I’m a Bassmaster Open professional who travels all over the country chasing after Bass. Still, I cut my teeth on Lake Minnetonka, and nothing excites me more than putting good folks on a lot of Bass and creating lifelong memories! I hope to see you soon!
