Growing up on the banks of the Rainy River near the south shore of Lake of the Woods, most of Joe’s days were spent in or on the water. With his parents running a bush plane service, Joe would often accompany his father in the DeHavilland Beaver on trips to the North. With his face pressed against the window he watched as the vast Lake of the Woods unfolded beneath him. Joe fell in love with everything that the area had to offer.

Spending his early years fishing for mostly Walleyes on the Minnesota side of the lake, Joe soon found what the lake had to offer North of the border. With the main lake structure being mostly sand flats on the South end of the lake, learning the rock structure in the Ontario waters was a new challenge that offered endless opportunities. With an abundance of Musky, Crappie, Perch, Small and Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Lake Trout, and of course the huge numbers Walleyes, the Ontario waters of Lake of the Woods provides an experience for every type of fisherman.

Joe has fun helping clients experience the amazing fishing available around the Northwest Angle. Learning the rock structure in the Ontario waters is a challenge that offers endless opportunities to pursue all species of fish. Joe targets all of these species, but prefers angling for the monster muskies that roam The Northwest Angle portion of Lake of the Woods, which is one of the best Musky destinations in North America. With a contagious passion for the sport of fishing, he has proven himself successful, consistently providing his clients with the chance to land world class muskies.
