My friend and I spent the day fishing with Matt. We had a great time. We found him to be
professional, knowledgeable, entertaining and honest! His prices were reasonable. We will be
going back.

" Testimonials "
We would like to say thank you again for choosing SNS Guide Service
and welcome your feedback or comments about your trip or our service!
My son and I went out with Matt for a full day of Bass fishing on a "challenging" day after a cold
front passage. Through Matt's skill, we still caught fish, but more importantly, we learned a lot of
new techniques to coax bass onto the line when the bass are not aggressively feeding. These
techniques proved very helpful on our very first trip into northern Wisconsin in July. I caught my
limit of keeper bass on a day when another fisherman using live bait and fishing the same areas
came up with nothing at all!  Looking forward to another "lesson" with SnS Guide Service in the
fall...

Like many folks I spent many days fishing, wondering what more could be done to catch a nice
bass, or fish of any size.
Acting on a good recommendation, hiring you as a guide/teacher helped greatly.  Not only in
techniques, gear, reading weather conditions, location, etc., but the confidence I gained in fishing
trips in the future. ( to the envy of my fishing partners).
Thanks again for the knowledge I gained.  Really looking forward to another trip. (fishing class)  
One easy to study for.

It was going to be a tough day. Bluebird sky, HOT, late summer, little or no wind, but I was fishing
a new, stunning piece of water, Lake of Egypt. We started slowly, hit several spots with no bites.
Matt was on the HUNT. About 10-10:30 we went deeper on some brush piles and up they came
bending our rods. We doubled-up several times for the rest of the day. We moved from area to
area catching fish of different sizes. Matt REALLY knows this lake. We caught 2 1/2 limits of
keepers between 16 1/2
and 21 1/2 inches and from 3lbs to 7lbs. Total weights ran over 20lbs for our larger group and
between 17-18lbs for the smaller. This does not address the many <16" fish we landed, some 18 or
so.

This was a wonderful day. Matt truly loves what he does and it shows in his knowledge, patience,
and desire to show his clients a great adventure. I  HAD ONE. Thanks Matt.

Even though it is still winter, we were dying to go Crappie fishing.  After some research on the
Internet, we found Lake of Egypt and SNS Guide Service.  From the original call for booking the trip,
to the excellent directions, recommendation for lodging, and the wonderful fishing trip.  We
experienced a totally professional, friendly experience from Tyson.  Tyson had his work cut out on
finding the fish, the winds were high and the lake was white capping. The power plant was shut
down and there was a bass tournament with boats everywhere.  He was very attentive to our every
need,if our line was hung up - he fixed, if we lost a lure, he put another on.  We did not stay in one
spot for hours trying to catch fish,he moved around changing our lures, colors, etc... And WE
CAUGHT CRAPPIE!! (plus the fish were substantially larger than what we are accustomed too!)  We
would recommend Tyson and SNS guide service to anyone - what a great winter fishing experience
we had.  (Wish we would have stayed 2 days!!!)

We had a good trip, I really enjoyed it. Tyson is a very nice young man and very knowledgeable
about the lake. I am a guide myself and Tyson did a very good job.

My wife and I decided to learn more about Lake of Egypt and set up a date to fish with Matt.
When scheduling the date for the outing, Matt was more than accommodating.  We also found
Matt very knowledgeable about the lake and he took us to several spots all over the lake.  He was
very professional and enabled us to do as little or as much as we felt comfortable with.  Between
my wife and I we caught approximately fifteen fish on a relatively tough day with a cold front
moving through the area.
Our largest five fish weighed in at just under 14 pounds.  Give SNS Guide Service a try.  
You won't be disappointed!

I fished a full morning with Matt and we had an amazing time.  I landed at least 10 bass, many of
which were among the largest I have ever caught.  I only occasionally fish with plastic worms, but
Matt's rigging and technique tips helped me generate plenty of strikes and solid hook-ups.  I even
stopped at my local pond on the way home and caught a few more fish with my new techniques!  
It was obvious that he had a lot of experience as he led me from one productive
spot to the next.  I highly recommend SNS guide service will definitely be back
to fish again.
