Guided Ice Fishing Trips

Increase your chances of catching fish with the help of a guide!  Tailored to people that want the assistance of an experienced guide who knows area waters, these trips are great for 1 person, small groups or large groups.  Guided trips take place in the Detroit Lakes area, and you may fish out of a permanent house, portable house, or both over the course of your trip (you may have an opportunity to move from house to house in order to catch the most fish).  

4 hours:  $350 for 1-2 people, $50/additional person

5 hours:  $425 for 1-2 people, $62.50/additional person

​

6 hours:  $475 for 1-2 people, $75/additional person

*We typically put 5 people in an ice house, so there is an additional charge applied for the 6th, 11th, & 16th person in a group.  This fee covers the cost of using an additional ice house.

You have enough to deal with. Let Baxstar take one thing off your plate and transport your Ice Castle to any lake in the Detroit Lakes Area.

Baxstar will move your house to a hot fishing spot in the area (this may result in moving your house to a different lake, depending on a variety of factors. Contact Baxstar to discuss your option).
