EP. 26 Cassy Geurkink, Only Woman Charter Captain in Lake of the Woods
We would like you to meet Captain Cassy Geurkink, a charter Captain in Lake of the Woods MN. Cassy's passion for fishing started as a small child. Her parents were tournament anglers and her and her sister grew up in the boat. She grew up fishing on Mille Lacs Lake and fished when ever she could.
After her father moved to the Lake of the Woods area, Cassy came to visit and fell in love with the area. The vast waters of Lake of the Woods is a special place and she wanted to be on the water as much as she could. She went to work in the office at Border View Lodge and shortly after asked to be able to work as a Captain. She went to school to get her Captains license and has worked as a Charter Captain for the last 5 years. Cassy is the only female Captain working on Lake of the Woods, and even though some customers are initially hesitant, they soon find out that Cassy can put them on fish and create a wonderful experience on the water. Listen in as we talk to Cassy and hear her story. She may even give us some secret fishing tips.
If you find yourself in the Lake of the Woods area, call 1-800-PRO-FISH and request to book a trip with Cassy!
