I’m Jon Freund, and I specialize in guided muskie fishing trips across the Minnesota Northwoods, home to some of the best musky lakes and rivers in the state. With over a decade of experience on these waters, I’m proud to offer personalized, professional, and safe musky fishing adventures designed for anglers of all experience levels. Whether you’re targeting a trophy-class muskellunge or simply want to experience the thrill of chasing these apex predators in Minnesota’s pristine wilderness, I’ll make sure your trip is productive, exciting, and unforgettable.


My full-day guided trips start at $500 for one or two anglers and include all necessary tackle and lures — you just need to bring your Minnesota fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, and your determination to land a giant. I focus on the best bite windows and proven techniques to give you the highest chance of success, whether we’re fishing early morning, evening, or under the stars.


With deep knowledge of Minnesota’s top musky hotspots, I’ll get you on fish and teach you what it takes to consistently locate and land these elusive giants. Every trip emphasizes conservation, respect for the fish, and creating lasting memories on the water.


If you’re ready to experience world-class musky fishing in the Minnesota Northwoods, book your trip today with Jon Freund’s Musky Guide Service — your trusted expert for Minnesota musky fishing charters and guided trophy hunts. Let’s make your next cast the one you’ll never forget.
