Fishing with Cam offers guided fishing trips on Lake Elmo led by someone who’s been on the water nearly his whole life. I’m Captain Cam Quinlan, and my passion for fishing started at a young age—casting lines from the shore with family and friends. Over the years, that love for the sport has only grown stronger. What began with bank fishing and kayak adventures has evolved into something much more. Now, I guide guests aboard my dream boat, helping others enjoy the water and catch great fish along the way.


My 21-foot Nitro Bass Boat (2019), powered by a 250hp Mercury engine, is designed for speed and performance, reaching up to 70mph. Whether we’re covering water quickly to chase active fish or enjoying calm, focused casts in the shallows, the boat offers a smooth and steady ride. With space for up to 4 guests, the experience is always personal, comfortable, and centered around your fishing goals.


At Fishing with Cam, we target Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, and the elusive Muskie. I’ve spent countless hours learning these species’ habits and behaviors—so I can put you in the right spot at the right time with the right setup. Whether you're an experienced angler chasing your next big catch or someone picking up a rod for the first time, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you with patience and enthusiasm.


What makes this experience different is my dedication to improvement. I’m always learning—trying new techniques, exploring new areas, and adjusting to seasonal changes. That drive to get better every day is what I bring to every trip, ensuring you walk away with more than just fish stories. I’ll share what I know, answer your questions, and do everything I can to help you land fish you can be proud of.


All necessary fishing gear is provided. You just need to bring a valid Minnesota fishing license, which you can easily purchase online before your trip. Snacks, drinks, and sunscreen are also recommended to help make your day even more comfortable. I focus on safety, fun, and creating an easygoing environment where everyone—from solo anglers to families—feels welcome.


If you’re looking for a laid-back, informative, and rewarding fishing experience on one of Minnesota’s most peaceful lakes, Fishing with Cam is ready to welcome you aboard. Let’s get out there and make it a day worth remembering.
