3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (AM) on September 22, 2023 • 4 adultsThis was our second trip with Captain Tony. We caught our limit in under 3 hours. Great time. We will be going again next year.
Brandon Johns5.0VerifiedGood fishing with good people
3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (PM) on June 28, 2022 • 2 adultsI've fished with some other boats on Erie but I won't fish with anyone else anymore after the trip we had. Sure we limited out on nice walleye, which is clear from the picture, but what you can't see is how good of people Tony and Matt are. Thank you guys for such a wonderful day!

3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (AM) on August 26, 2021 • 1 adultAmazing trip. Captain Tony had us into fish within minutes of settling the Rods. Nonstop all morning. Me and my Friend had the limit a few hours into a 6 hour trip. And we kept fishing. BWe had numerous multiple hookups. Never had a trip like this. Great Captain and Mate. He knows how to put fish on boat. We also caught yellow perch as a bonus. Well done Captain. We will be back for sure Thanks again
Nick BellRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time on the Dog House
3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (AM) on September 20, 2021 • 2 adultsThe water was pretty rough to start the day and we were warned in advance about it. We still went out into the lake and had a really successful day. My mom caught a steelhead that was foul hooked and it took over 30 minutes to reel it in. Captain Tony had to reel everything in and go in reverse to chase down the fish. Both Captain Tony and his mate were very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun.

3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (PM) on September 16, 2023 • 6 adultsHad a great day catching a mix bag of walleye and steelhead with Captain Tony and first mate Mike. The guys really worked hard to get us on the fish and kids had a blast!

3/4 Day Trip - Walleye (PM) on June 23, 2022 • 3 adultsCaptain Tony and First Mate Matt were awesome. They had us on the fish in no time and we limited out. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for me and my two sons. Would definitely recommend.
