What a great time!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 1, 20252 adults

Zach was great!! He took us to a different lake than he wanted. There had been a bunch of fishing events all over the area so he took us somewhere he thought we would do good. We caught walleyes, northern and crappies. Had a great time. Zach is very knowledgeable and so pleasant to be out on the water with. Will definitely look him up again if we are back in the area.

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 28, 20242 adults

The conditions were not ideal to say the least, but Zach still put us on fish. We went for walleye, we got walleye, northern pike, and crappies. He was on point, had a plan, executed his plan and it was a success. Couldn't be happier with the day.

Capt. Zack is a straight shooter!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 18, 20242 adults

He told us when we booked that the fishing is tough during the heat of summer but we ended up catching several WALL·E’s a big crappie, several rock bass, and a huge 18-3/4” small mouth. Great time. Thanks Zack, Jesse n Debbie, El Campo, Texas.
