Fishing Guide Tom Neustrom Gets Results
If you’re planning a guided fishing trip in Minnesota, there are some important qualities to look for in your guide service. The best fishing guides truly love the sport, exhibit great patience with 
beginners, have expert knowledge of the area and its fisheries, and, of course, are unsurpassed when it comes to finding fish. Tom has all of these qualities and is great fun to be on the water with. Even if the fish aren’t cooperating, you’ll enjoy your day in the boat with him.
Most of Tom’s first-time clients come to him to learn how to fish better, or to have him teach them the structure on an unfamiliar lake. If you want to get your kids hooked on the sport of fishing, let them experience the excitement and gain the knowledge that spending a day on the water with a professional guide can give. Tom is also very adept at helping you make a great impression with your biggest client. Schedule a trip with 
Tom and find out why his customers schedule return trips year after year!
The Best Equipment for your Comfort and Safety
While on the lake with Tom you’ll fish comfortably out of his new 2024 Lund 2075 Pro-V with 300hp Mercury ProXS motor and dual Minn Kota trolling motors – an Ulterra on the bow and a Vantage on the back with a Minn Kota 12-foot Talon shallow water anchor also on the Lund’s stern. Tom uses a Humminbird Helix 12 and Helix 10 combined with LakeMaster marine charts datacards programmed with detailed 3D underwater 
map views, aerial photos and current data. For the safety of his clients Tom uses on-board weather radar, marine band radio and a cellular phone. He provides quality St. Croix rods, Daiwa reels, life jackets, all bait and tackle, fuel and some transportation if needed.
Tom’s boat will comfortably fish up to 3 anglers. You only need to bring your valid Minnesota fishing license, rain and/or cold weather gear, camera and a cooler with food and beverage. Since Tom works hard to give his clients a competitive fishing edge, he respectfully asks that you leave your own GPS units at home.
