About Me
Thanks for choosing Minnesota Fishing Guide
Service! Whether it's ice fishing or open water
fishing--exciting fishing action and beautiful Minnesota scenery
is what you will enjoy on your fully outfitted and
professionally guided Minnesota fishing trip with your United
States Coast Guard licensed Captain Josh Hagemeister. Whether
it's Minnesota's famous Walleye (my specialty), acrobatic
Smallmouth or Largemouth Bass, Panfish, hard hitting Northern
Pike or monster Muskies--it's all up to you. A classic Minnesota
shore lunch is also available!
I have been a professional Minnesota fishing guide for 20 years! My extensive guiding time on the water
takes me to some of the best fishing areas throughout the state.
Some of my favorite areas include Park Rapids / Walker, Otter
Tail, Fergus Falls, Brainerd/Nisswa, Paynesville, Mille Lacs,
Richmond / Cold Spring, Annandale, Detroit Lakes area, and the
Alexandria area. I can also arrange trips to Lake of the Woods
or Rainy Lake!
"A true professional and a super fishing guide service, we always catch fish with Captain Josh " Marylyn from Indiana
Throughout my guiding career I have also worked as an
instructional fishing guide for In-Fisherman Magazine's Camp
Fish, co-hosted and produced the "Outdoors Minnesota" TV Series,
provided an extensive seminar series to many community education
groups, published a sportsman's outdoor newspaper, excelled in
many fishing tournaments, and of course became an extremely
versatile multi-species fishing guide and angler in the process.
I'm confident enough in my abilities to catch you fish that I
will not charge a fee if our trip is anything other than a
success--Minnesota Fishing Guide Service guarantees you fish!
And yes that means catching walleyes in July and August!!
Your guide, Captain Josh Hagemeister.
We learned more
about fishing in 2 days with Captain Josh than I ever thought
possible,
he's a great guide" Kevin and Karen from New York
