Minnesota Winter. Done Right.
Ice fishing doesn't have to mean sitting in one spot waiting for something to happen.
Smith Angling takes an active approach to hard-water fishing—using modern electronics, mobility, and decades of experience to find and stay on fish.
With a 2025 Ranger XP 1000 equipped with Camso tracks and a heated cab, we can stay mobile, cover water, and keep chasing active schools throughout the day.
Learn More. Catch More.
A guided trip should leave you with more than a photo of the fish you caught.
We love teaching anglers how to better understand fish behavior, presentation, electronics, and forward-facing sonar.
Whether you're learning Garmin LiveScope for the first time or trying to take your fishing to the next level, we'll customize the day around what you want to accomplish.
