Fish’On Guide Services of Wisconsin, A+ experience

VERIFIED

Capt. Ruben and First (Soul) Mate Tracy, function as a unit on their charters. Their communication with each other and the crew (maybe even the fish!) is outstanding! Courteous, professional, engaging, fish-focused and friendly, they are the consummate Port Washington, WI charter. If there were more stars to give they would earn them. After the last 3 years with Fish’On, and the previous 25 years on various other charters out of Port, we can say with confidence that you will not be disappointed. Book your time on the water with the best sport fishing excursions on the North Shore: Fish’On Guide Services.

Doug, As always it's a pleasure to fish with your group each and every year! Prior to the trip I told Doug fishing has been inconsistent and was not sure how the bite would be in the afternoon. There was no hesitation on their part to continue with the trip. Good times had by all and thanks again!

Captain Ruben and his first mate, Seth, did an excellent job and made our trip so much fun. He put us onto some fish on a pretty tough day. I personally live right on the water off the Atlantic Ocean and own a boat. My wife and I fish plenty of offshore, inshore and nearshore locations so we know a bit about fishing and Captain Ruben really runs a nice service and did a really good job finding the fish by switching up the lines and gear. I highly recommend Captain Ruben as a charter captain.

Captain Ruben and his first mate Tracy provided a top-notch fishing experience for our group. Captain Ruben, has decades of experience and is on the water daily, so he knows where to go for the best fishing. The boat and equipment is top notch. He put us on the fish and we were more than satisfied with the 17, beauties we landed. After docking Captain Ruben did an excellent job of filleting and bagging the fish. Great experience.
