Since 2006, Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems has designed and manufactured custom freshwater electrofishing boats engineered to meet the demanding needs of fisheries sampling, biological surveys, and aquatic research. Our boats are recognized for their durability, reliability, advanced technology, and field-proven performance.
Every fisheries program operates differently, which is why every Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems boat is custom-designed to match the specific needs of the operator. From hull selection and deck layout to electrofishing equipment configuration and storage solutions, our boats are engineered to provide efficient and dependable field performance.
As a complete one-stop manufacturer, we simplify the process by handling fabrication, outfitting, electrofishing integration, and customization in-house. This streamlined approach saves time while ensuring every component works together as a complete fisheries sampling platform.
No two fisheries programs are exactly alike, which is why every Midwest Lake Electrofishing System is custom designed around your specific sampling objectives, operating environment, crew requirements, and equipment preferences. We work closely with clients to develop a platform that meets their unique needs.
Our freshwater electrofishing boats are available in hull lengths ranging from 14 to 24 feet and can be configured with a variety of hull styles, including flat bottom, semi-V, traditional V, and tunnel hull designs. Hull thicknesses, side heights, console configurations, and propulsion systems can all be tailored to match your application and operating conditions.
Clients can choose from tiller, side console, or center console layouts, along with a wide range of equipment and accessories designed to improve efficiency, safety, and comfort in the field. Available options include custom-built trailers, fish finders, radar systems, livewells, storage lockers, LED lighting packages, specialized workstations, and numerous other custom features.
Whether you’re looking for a simple electrofishing platform or a fully integrated fisheries sampling vessel, our team will work with you to build a boat that is purpose-built for your program and designed to perform for years to come.
We provide more than a boat, we deliver complete electrofishing systems ready for the field. From custom fabrication and electrical integration to control boxes, generators, accessories, training, and ongoing technical support, we help organizations deploy equipment with confidence.
Every Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems boat is designed with direct input from Fisheries & Aquatic Biologists who understand the challenges of field sampling. From equipment placement and operator ergonomics to safety systems and electrical performance, every detail is engineered to improve efficiency, reliability, and productivity in the field.
Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems boats are purpose-built to improve the efficiency of fisheries field operations. By integrating advanced electrofishing technology with operator-focused layouts, reliable electrical systems, and customizable workspaces, our boats help crews collect standardized biological data quickly, safely, and consistently. The result is more productive sampling, improved data quality, and greater confidence in fisheries management decisions.
