    Morning Walleye Half Day Trip

    Full Day Trip – Walleye on September 2, 2022 • 2 adults

    This was my first fishing charter experience and first time fishing for walleye. I took my brother with me and he had a blast! Captain Darryl made the trip one of the best fishing trip I ever had. Darryl was super cool and very helpful with the entire trip. Taught us various of different methods on catching walleye in the shallow and deep end of the water. It took us awhile to get the fish to bite, but once they did…it was a blast! We caught some monsters out there. I can’t wait to book my next trip. Highly recommend Captain Darryl. One of the best fisherman in the game. 👍

    Full day walleye trip with Captain Darryl, Gone Fishing

    Full Day Trip – Walleye on June 6, 2021 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a great day of fishing with Captain Darryl. He had us on walleye quickly, reeling in a mixture of keepers and smaller fish quite frequently. He then took us to a different spot where the fish were not only bigger but we struggled to get all our lines in the water at once because we were constantly reeling in fish. If we didn't throw most of our fish back, we would have limited out in no time. I ended up having sore forearms the next day from all the action! The boat was clean and comfortable and Darryl is a great person. He's very easy to get along with and talk to. He was just as excited for our good time as we were. I highly recommend a trip with him for a small group of two or three. We will book with him again. The only drawback was we didn't get pictures of our biggest walleye because we were flat out too busy keeping the rods going!

    Great Walleye day with Capt Darryl

    Full Day Trip – Walleye on June 7, 2021 • 2 adults

    Capt Darryl got us hits right away. Reached our limit around 3 hours. He had great equipment, great advice and great conversation. He not only provided us with a great day of fishing, Capt. Darryl taught us a lot about catching walleyes. We will definitely be back on the boat with Capt. Darryl

    Great time!

    Full Day Trip – Walleye on July 18, 2019 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Darryl was great. He took us to a spot he thought would be hot... and he was right. We caught our limit in no time. My 15 year old son even caught a trophy 30” walleye! Darryl was very happy for my son... congratulated him many times. I recommend this trip to anyone that wants to have a great time and catch some nice Walleye.... who knows, you might even catch a stud-fish like my sons!

    Full Day Trip – Walleye on May 16, 2019 • 2 adults

    Captain Darryl is the best! We caught out limit of Walleye as he knew just where to go. The boat was comfortable and all fishing poles were provided. All we had to do was catch fish. Would recommend this charter to anyone who loves a good time fishing with a knowledgeable captain. God bless you Captain Darryl!
