Great day with Alex. He knew his way around the river and what to throw. Great personality to chat with through the slow bite times. Walked away with some really great bass. Will definitely book again.

We contacted Alex seeking information on doing some bass fishing on the Mississippi River near La Crosse. Alex was very informative and answered all our questions. You could tell Alex was very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. After talking to Alex, and watching his YouTube videos, we booked a half day on the water in the middle of May. Quick breakdown: Alex communicated great leading up to the day of the trip and told us exactly where to go on the day of the trip. We arrived a few minutes early and Alex was waiting the dock for us. After a quick safety briefing. We pushed out and had a great fishing day. We caught largemouth and smallmouth and even a bonus fish (pike). We fished a variety of baits but we caught them on crank baits, chatter baits, and senkos. The fish were mostly post spawn and were kinda in that funk between spawning and guarding fry. Alex never stopped working to get us on fish, he moved spots frequently with the changing conditions. Alex's boat fishes very well and he has all the modern tools to help get on fish. He has quality equipment and it was all ready for our success. Alex prices were fair considering the cost of fuel, equipment and his time. Alex does not provide lunch or snacks but that is ok because he tells you up front and that allows you to bring whatever you like. All said, Alex is great and we look forward to booking another trip with him. 5/5

Alex was an amazing guide! He took our group of 7 ice fishing on the upper Mississippi and put us on fish all day. He takes care of drilling holes, bringing bait and fishing gear (if you dont have any) and provided us lunch on the ice.  I highly recommend him if you're looking to catfish, spring/summer open water fish or ice fish!

Alex was a great Guide! He worked hard to put us on fish on a slower day! We ended with quality fish even with a slower bite! Very personable easy going!

My brother and I fished with Alex for sturgeon and had a great experience. We landed 5 fish during out trip, with one trophy 62 incher! Alex is a very knowledgeable guide and provides everything you need for the day. We absolutely recommend fishing with River Bent!

Thank you Alex for the great fishing trips! Catching the largemouth bass while ice fishing was the best!  If your looking to catch fish, Alex is the guide!

My friends and I ice fished with Alex earlier this year and had a blast! Despite tough fishing conditions, Alex got us on the perch and bluegill. We fished with him again a few weeks ago and we're able to land some catfish and sturgeon. I highly recommend booking a trip with him!

Over the past two years, I’ve been out with Alex at least 10 times. Targeting everything, from panfish to catfish. Each trip was a successful, educational experience. Alex is a master of his craft. A true “river rat”.

Alex took my family out for an ice fishing outing, and we had a great time! His communication, preparation, and patience in the face of a toddler throwing snowballs into his carefully cleared fishing holes was greatly appreciated. He and his crew handled all the set up, transported us out on the ice, and were flexible and good natured when changes came up in planning or the fish weren’t biting. I highly recommend any services Alex provides!
