Todd was amazing , made booking and the stay great ! Was easy to work with and definitely knows where the fish are ! Me and my husband stayed over night and caught over 80 fish in the 24 hours we were fishing and some really nice crappie! Definitely will be back next year ! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Set the Hook guide service for ice fishing. Todd is great - he is friendly, responsive, and willing to answer questions. The whole experience was very good. The fish house was clean, warm and stocked with poles, tackle and bait. Todd showed us how to use the underwater camera and Vexlar. He came to check on us multiple times throughout the day. And we literally caught 150 pan fish(sunnies and bluegills) between 2 of us. The only thing that would have made it better is if we caught some Crappie after dark, but no one can make the fish bite. Lastly, Set the Hook was the best priced compared to his competitors. I will definitely book with Todd again in the future.

I booked a charter last weekend for my husband's birthday and Todd gave us an awesome experience. He was incredibly helpful during the booking process with all of my novice questions around fishing licenses, he immediately said happy birthday to my husband when we first showed up, he took us to a variety to locations on Minnetonka during our four hour booking and told some exciting stories about his fishing adventures. From start to finish this was an easy and enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone! Thank you Todd!!

Todd was great! He knew of many great spots on the lake, would help out every time we were snagged and he was great to talk to. We had a blast for my dad's birthday!

Top Notch Service ~ 10 Star Experience!! Todd has everything you need to just show up and fish. He’s so knowledgeable and helpful for both a novice and experienced fisherman! A Fun MN experience on Lake Minnetonka. It may be cold outside but it’s warm and comfortable inside. Highly Recommended for a fun family weekend or with a group of friends!!!

Had a great day. Kurt got me setup as a first time ice fisher and checked in with pointers. I started without electronics and then Kurt mentioned an underwater camera which really improved the experience. Todd and Kurt were very helpful answering newbie questions. Highly recommended.
