Fishing Guide Service
Welcome to Artificial-Angler.com
My name is Rick Aguilar and I am the artificial-angler. Artificial-Angler Fishing Guide Service is a multi-species guide service serving Minnesota and Wisconsin. As my name implies, I use artificial baits, or lures to catch virtually all of my fish. I provide a variety of methods and presentations to have a fun and successful day on the water. All without ever going to the bait store.!
It's not that I don't like fishing with live bait, it's just that I have had great success in my lifetime, fishing with artificial lures. Over the many years that I have been fishing, I have honed my craft to target and catch a multitude of species, all by use of artificial baits. I target 5 main species: walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and musky! I also like to occasionally fish for other species like catfish or sturgeon and of course panfish.

My Boat:
I fish out of a 16 1/2 foot Lund Rebel Powered by a 50hp Yamaha outboard with a Minnkota bow mount trolling motor and Lowrance electronics featuring GPS and Navionics mapping chip. This boat may seem slight by most guide standards,
however, as I stated earlier, I am a multi-species fisherman. This boat gives me the versatility to fish both big open water for walleye, yet also allows me to slink into the skinniest of water to hunt bass and musky. I can float my boat in less than 1 foot of water to reach spots that the larger boats simply can't get to.
