Mike Crawford is exceptional knowledgeable and accommodating guide
Thanks Eric!
Mike offers the best guide service available for Skaneateles. Professional and knowledgeable in every aspect. My buddy and I caught 50+ fish on our charter with a Mix of trout and smallmouth bass. Fabulous day, would recommend Mike to anyone.
Thanks Jeffery, It was a pleasure fishing with you guys!
One of the best guided fishing trips I've ever been on. I had requested ahead of time that I'd like to focus on Smallies during our trip, and Mike was happy to oblige. He had us on the fish from the outset, and I lost count of how many we caught during the day. We even stumbled across a few other species throughout the day. If you like to actually FISH, and not just troll around the lake, then Mike is the guide for you!
Thanks man. It was my pleasure meeting and fishing with you.
Great trip Mike is an excellent captain
