Wild Dog Tackle Guide Service always delivers a wonderful experience. Captain Guy Lopez is simply the best. He provides a true hands on experience allowing his clients an opportunity to not only fish but more importantly learn tactics to catch a variety of fresh water species. It’s a fun and educational experience. Can’t wait to get my kids out with him when they’re a little older. Thanks Captain Lopez and look forward to our next adventure!

Went to the Illinois River with Captain Guy Lopez. On the October day we went, there were many boats out fishing and most of those boats only had a few fish for the most part. We did not have any live minnows to use for the sauger and walleye. So, jigs, artificials and crankbaits it was! He had the fish so dialed in that we found a decent pattern to follow that produced a really nice handful of keeper sauger, one keeper walleye, three keeper white bass, plus a ton of freshwater drum bonus fish. I ended up learning a new technique that I can now use on my own boat. Captain Lopez is really hands on, you can set the rods, work the baits, and learn new ways of fishing first hand. That alone is invaluable. He makes sure that everyone on the boat is involved and he will make every effort to put you on as many fish as possible! World class guide! Highly recommend!

Met with Guy and a few of my friends at East Chicago Marina Sunday morning. Great trip, learned a ton about fishing for trout and salmon. One of my buddies landed a 17 pound lake trout! and we hooked into over ten other huge fish. Guy knows his stuff, has great equipment, and just a fun guy to go fishing with. 10/10 Will book again. He cut and cleaned all of the fish for us too when we were done

We booked a half-day excursion as a Father's Day present for my Dad and Nephew. Captain Guy proved to be exceptional. His assistance in organizing the trip was greatly appreciated, and he even captured memorable moments for us. Both my Dad and Nephew had a fantastic experience. Without a doubt, we'll be making future reservations with Captain Guy.
