Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall…
Fish with Captain Dan Jasper!

Welcome! My goal is simple: I want you to walk off my boat as a better angler than when you stepped on it. After 30+ years of guiding here, I’ve realized that the ‘secret’ to Minnetonka isn’t just knowing where the Northern Pike or Bass hide it’s understanding the why behind the bite. Whether you’re a pro looking for a trophy or a family introducing the kids to fishing.  I provide the top-tier gear and the technical coaching to make it happen. I’m out here every single day, so I can tell you exactly what the fish are doing right now. Let’s get you on the water.

Dan’s credentials speak volumes:

• Licensed USCG Captain and dedicated professional angler
• Trained in First Aid and CPR
• Accomplished tournament angler
• Boasts intimate knowledge of the West Metro lakes
• Resides on Lake Minnetonka, offering insider insight into optimal fishing locations

As a top Lake Minnetonka fishing guide service, we build every charter around how the lake fishes best that day. I’ve spent over thirty years chasing fish on Minnetonka, and that time on the water has taught me many things but one stands out — the lake can change by the hour, so we must stay flexible.
Whether you’re after your first toothy fish, the Northern Pike, want to smash on some Largemouth bass, catch some springtime Walleye or hunt for a monster Musky, I use every bit of my local knowledge and years of experience to put you on fish. I have many fond memories of kids catching their first fish and expert fisherman catching their trophy fish, memories I hope they will talk about for years to come. Moments like these are why I still love this job.
We track the seasonal patterns across Lake Minnetonka. I’ll never forget one early spring trip when the bite was so shallow we were literally in less than 4 feet of water casting right up to the bank, clients were catching a wide variety of species and in good numbers too. By midsummer we’re usually on deeper structure patterns, pulling fish in 10-15 feet of water, depending on water clarity and which bay we are fishing. By fall, fish move back up on to the flats or tight to the banks, topwater is one of my favorite techniques this time of year.
Every trip is customized to your skill level. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or it’s your first time holding a rod, I will make sure you leave with great stories, and a few new tricks you can use next time you’re out on Lake Minnetonka.

Fishing isn’t just a pastime for Dan—it’s his profession, and he approaches it with unwavering dedication and professionalism. Join him for an unforgettable fully guided fishing excursion on Lake Minnetonka today.

I want your day on Minnetonka to be as easy as it is educational.
