Jeff's Story

Jeff grew up an avid outdoorsman fishing and hunting the Lake of the Woods area in the 60's and 70's. He started guiding during the late 1970's — a former charterboat captain for many years — and his connection to The Lake has never wavered.

If I'm away from The Lake too long, my gills might dry up!

He's enjoyed a lifetime of outfitting customers, family, and friends — helping them get set up for fishing the great Lake of the Woods for walleyes, sauger, perch, northern pike, tulibee, and even eelpout. And the ice fishing on Lake of the Woods is truly World Class.

Jeff, wife LuAnn, and sons Robbie and Chris run the small, simple, and clean ice fishing outfitter operation: Jeff's Ice-O-Miniums. In the off season, Jeff builds and maintains the well-built ice fishing houses, and after more than 25 years of operating rentals on Lake of the Woods, he's learned how to do it right. He selects time-proven locations for his shelters and plows the roads himself.

Jeff doesn't do it alone. His expert staffers Robbie and Aaron bring decades of hands-on Lake of the Woods experience — helping guests find fish, read the flasher, and make the most of every trip.
