As the owner/operator of The Pier fishing guide service I am pleased to cater to all types and levels of anglers from novice to professional.   I have been fishing Lake Geneva since the early 1980's and professionally fishing it since the mid 1990's.  I am a full-time licensed fishing guide.  Women, children, elderly, and the physically challenged are all welcome in my boat.

Guide trips are available for both daytime and nighttime year round.  It has been our experience that Lake Geneva provides some of the most exciting night fishing available and recommend everyone try it at least once!

Take a trip with me and you're bound to have fun and learn something new. 

My boat is a nineteen foot, 690 Ranger Fisherman.  It is powered by Honda Outboards and positioned by Pinpoint Trolling Motors.  It provides a smooth, safe and quiet experience.  We have both portable and permanent heated ice shanties for a comfortable ice fishing experience.

The species of fish that I guide for on Lake Geneva are:  Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, and Pan Fish (crappies, bluegills & perch).

Our services can accommodate groups both large and small.   Please refer to the following chart for *standard costs:

For an additional charge, both cleaning & freezing fish and taxidermy services are available.

The Pier stocks all of the equipment used on the outings.  Like the tackle & equipment you used during your outing?  You can buy it and take it home with you.
