About

My name is Kyle Colbert and my wife Joy and I purchased Lake Vermilion Houseboats in May of 2017. We moved north from Iowa to pursue our dream of owning our own business in the Northwoods. We have three children: Chance, Croy (named after St Croix Rods), and Canon Ranger (named after Ranger Boats). My passion is fishing, especially walleye fishing. I competed in walleye tournaments from 2008-2016, starting with small club tournaments and working my way up to the Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit, which is the longest running team professional walleye circuit in the country! I fished the Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit from 2011-2016 honing my walleye fishing skills from the Dakota Reservoirs, Minnesota Natural Lakes, Iowa & Illinois River Systems, and the Great Lakes of Wisconsin, Michigan, & Ohio!  I have been guiding on Lake Vermilion since 2017 putting my clients on fish and sharing countless great days on the water with tremendous people.

I am proud to say I offer my clients the best guide boat on Lake Vermilion! I have a 2020 Ranger 2080MS Angler, powered by a 250HP Mercury 4 Stroke outboard & 15HP EFI Mercury ProKicker. My Ranger is rigged with 2 Humminbird Helix units at the console, as well as, the bow. Giving me access to traditional 2D Sonar, Mega Side & Down Imaging, and LakeMaster High Definition Mapping both at the console and bow. The bow mounted MinnKota 36 volt Ultrex trolling motor provides precise boat control above the fish. I have all the accessories & tackle needed to catch fish and then some, just ask my wife Joy! All fishing tackle and bait are provided during your trip. I will do my absolute best to put my clients on fish, as well as, ensure they have an enjoyable day on the best lake in Minnesota. Yes, I said it! Taking into consideration Lake Vermilion's size, scenery, fishing, recreation, and solitude it would be hard to find a better lake that is entirely within the state of Minnesota.
