Some Minnesota fishing guides are fond of saying that the fishing boat doesn't make a difference. They'll say a good fishing guide in a duck boat can out fish a poor guide in a fancy boat. That might be true, but it’s a whole different story when the duck boat tries competing against skilled fishing guides equipped with top end boats. Minnesota fishing is all about having fun, it shouldn't be about survival. Why have teeth rattled, bones pounded, and body drenched in some duck boat; when for the same money, you'll be fishing comfortably in a 20+ foot Ranger Pro Staff's boat? Quality fishing charters MUST provide good fishing, but they shouldn't sacrifice comfort. That's just cutting corners. Our Brainerd Guide's fishing guides run some of the nicest boats on the lakes. The reason is simple. Comfortable is just more fun!
