Briggs Guide Service

All of Briggs Guide Service’s fishing days leave from the south shore of Lake of the Woods, the Minnesota end of the big water reached from Baudette. Trips run four hours for a half day, six hours for a three-quarter day and eight hours for a full day, priced at 450, 650 and 850 dollars for parties of up to six anglers. The boat is a fully loaded 2015 Warrior DC 2121. Bait, tackle, rods and reels are included, a cooler of beverages comes along, and a shore lunch can be cooked for an extra ten dollars a head if you want the fire and the fillets that go with a Lake of the Woods day. The methods run the full range the lake asks for across the open-water season, from live bait presentations to pulling cranks, and the target list is walleye and sauger first, with northern pike, bass and sturgeon all on the table. Lunch is not provided, so bring one if you are not taking the shore lunch.
