Craig Best

Craig Best has spent close to ten years professionally guiding out of Ely, mastering the techniques, the structure, and the seasonal patterns that turn a day on the water into a day you will talk about for years.

Fishing has been a lifelong passion, and having Lake Vermilion as a home water is a blessing. Mastering many techniques for a variety of species means we can keep you on the fish whatever the week brings.

You can count on us to work hard and deliver a fishing experience that keeps you coming back. Trips are open to all ages and skill levels, and every trip includes the boat, gas, rods, tackle, bait, electronics, life jackets, and fish cleaning.

The bite is on. Your spot in the boat is waiting.
