Vicious Fishes Guide Service

I’ve been fishing with Andy for over 10 years. Initially my fishing partner and I booked a few days on the front end of the week of our yearly fishing trip on the Georgian Bay. We had previously been dabbling in Muskie fishing, a day here and there, and acquired some basic Muskie tackle. We had some basic knowledge from reading, but I would not describe our efforts as focused or widely successful.At the end of our first 3 days we succumbed to the affliction of Muskie Fever after boating several Muskie and contacting many more including a 50+” Fish that went airborne at boat side. We have fished several locations on the Georgian Bay and French River watershed, often taking more than 1 outing a year, and his level of knowledge of each location is unsurpassed. He doesn’t simply know a few good spots but consistently puts you on that “great spot within a great spot “ that allows us to contact double digit numbers of fish daily. My most memorable outing with Andy had him guiding my entire family, including my mom and aunt (in their 80’s) my cousin who is also a non-fisher, plus my wife and adult kids. As we rotated “shifts” throughout the week we were all able to boat Muskie and a few monster pike including my son Jimmy who boated his first Muskie, a 51” hog, and my Mom who boated her first, a 43”, at 85 years young.Tight LinesPete

Great Gide! Very knowledgeable about gear and techniques. Wonderful local knowledge of the lakes, rivers and streams. Also willing to make solid recommendations on lodging. Great experience, if you are looking for a guide that is willing to go 100% so you catch a lifetime Musky Vicious Fishes is where to start!

I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Pickerel River with guide Andy Pappas of Vicious Fishes Guide Service. There are people who call themselves guides and there are real guides. From the start of our expedition I felt confident that we would encounter a Pickerel/French River giant and that we did. Andy, you are a true expert in your field. It was a pleasure hunting super tankers with you. Keep up the hard work and I'll be in touch to back there for some more photos.
