BrianK's Trophy Catfishing & Sturgeon Adventures
Brian Klawitter - Trophy Catfish & Sturgeon Guide
Guided fishing trips on the Minnesota and Wisconsin border waters of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers
Lake Sturgeon trips~
We'll be fishing the St. Croix Scenic River Way in the fall. Check our calendar page in September for this years Lake Sturgeon Season. It changes yearly. Catch-Photo-Release fishing at it's best! Because the large female Lake Sturgeon take about 25 years to mature and then only spawn every 3 or 4 years, all Sturgeon will be photographed and released to ensure that our kids and grandkids will be able to enjoy the magnificent Lake Sturgeon!
Shovelnose Sturgeon, Channel Cats and Flathead Combo Trips~
Shovelnose and Channel Cats can be caught year round on the Mississippi River. Because the Flatheads become dormant in cold water, we let them rest during the months of November to April. With just a short boat ride when launching from Everts Fishing Resort, we will have you on some of the best fishing in the upper Midwest!
Our fishing trips generally run from 6:00pm to 11:00pm, from September through the middle of October. Other time arrangements can be made with prior notice.

Your safety is our first concern. Trophy Catfishing and Sturgeon Adventures requires a Personal Flotation Device be worn at all times. We well provide you with the most comfortable PFD on the market today, Float-techs automatic inflatable vest/jacket combo, or you may bring your favorite PFD.
Drinks and snacks - Bring any food, drinks or snacks you would like to have during your trip with you. We will have a cooler available when you get to the boat ramp and there will be ice available. Please do not plan on bringing your own ice chest with you on the boat. No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the boat. No snacks in a shell, such as nuts and sunflower seeds, will be allowed on the boat. The shells from these types of snacks can plug the boat's bilge pump, causing a safety hazard. If you need medications make sure you have them with you as well.
Bring your camera - We will have a digital camera on board and will take photos of your catches before we release them and email all the photos to you at the end of our trip. The river is a very beautiful place and you may want to take photographs of wildlife and scenery before night fall with your own camera.
Bugs are seldom a problem this time of year. If they are we have a number of different brands of insect repellents on board.
Nights on the Mississippi River can get cool even when it's hot during the day. When temps are below 80 degrees at night, please bring along an extra sweatshirt and a jacket for the ride home. Watch the night time lows! Temps in the 50's will have you shivering in the short drive back to the Resort! We do not recommend shorts.
