Bio:

My name is Dustin Carlson and I reside in Duluth, Minnesota which offers me the opportunity to fish some of the finest trophy lakes/rivers in northern MN including Lake Vermilion. My 15 plus years of pursuing and guiding monster muskies has given me the opportunity to fish many of the finest waters over the Midwest and all over Canada.

My love and passion is chasing those monster muskies from the beginning of muskie season till the baits are bouncing off the ice. I have caught many trophies in the late fall trolling. I love to chase muskies at all hours, if you may be interested in night fishing, experienced angler are recommended and will have a chance at a trophy including many fish over 50 inches every year.

I am currently the President of the Lake Superior Chapter of Muskies Inc, in Duluth, MN and also on the Minnesota Musky Alliance,  The Lake Vermilion Guide Association & The Minnesota Muskie Guides Association. I also am an active tournament angler with my highlight in 2007 is winning the Minnesota Muskie Tournament on Lake Vermilion. 

I am blessed to stay on the forefront of knowledge of our bodies of water to not only put you on fish but to give you the opportunity of a monster Muskie. I put many monster Muskie in the boat every year with many exceeding 50 inches.

I practice catch & release only. With the great job that Minnesota DNR has done with its stocking and minimum length requirements will help protect our valuable resource to future generations to come.

My focus of guiding monster muskies is to offer my customers an exciting & memorable experience they will never forget. Whether you’re a Muskie beginner or a seasoned muskie veteran looking to get a chance at that trophy muskie of a lifetime, I look forward to guiding you with Northland Muskie Adventures.
