Fishing Success and Family Fun — Captain Eric’s the Best!

3 hr - AM Trip on October 10, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing 3-hour fishing trip with Captain Eric! Our group included 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 12 and 9), and he was absolutely fantastic with all of us. Captain Eric was friendly, patient, and incredibly informative—he answered every question we had and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. We caught a great mix of fish, including different kinds of bass, walleye, and bluegill! His boat was modern, clean, and very comfortable for our family, and all the equipment was in great condition. Captain Eric took care of everything—baiting hooks, taking fish off the line, and making sure we had the best possible experience. We had such a fun and memorable time and would definitely book with Captain Eric again the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a great day on the water!

Great morning on the water with Capt Eric

3 Hour Trip (AM) - Spoonbill on July 24, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

Eric made it easy to find the boat launch, was very personable and easy to talk to and put us on a mess of smallies. He was great with my son (5) and helped us make great memories this morning. Beautiful boat with state of the art equipment and Eric is very knowledgeable. Even after doing it for 26 years, he still has that fire in him for fishing. He was just as pumped as we were when we got into them. Highly recommend and we would definitely go back out with him if we are fortunate enough to come back. Thanks Eric!

Amazing experience!

3 Hour Trip - Spoonbill trip on July 22, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

Our Family of 5 with 3boys ages 16,13 & 11 went on a 3 hour 5pm tour. We all caught at least 10 fish each (over 50) and different species. Captain Eric was very personable, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was patient with us being beginners and it was very apparent he has a passion for fishing. He provided all supplies and His boat and equipment were top of the line! I would highly recommend his tour and wish we lived closer to go again.

Great fishing trip!

Half Day Trip (AM) - Spoonbill on July 18, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

Captain Eric was great every step throughout the entire experience - timely and complete communication, pre-trip and during the trip, nice boat and equipment, great knowledge/expertise of the lakes and of the fish we were fishing for, and most importantly, to me, he was great with my son, Alexander. We also caught a lot of fish! Truly everything about the trip was better than expected and made for a memorable experience that will last a lifetime with my son.

Best cap in table rock lake

Half Day Trip (AM) - Spoonbill on July 10, 2025 • 2 adults

If you want to be the spotlight for people to envy how many fish you got, choose cap Eric! His deep knowledge of this lake will bring you the best experience ever will you have here! We caught over 10 big spot bass and 10 big walleye for just few hours. Every spot he chose, there are tons of fish made it seem easy! His service is top tier and you will only need to worry about reeling in the fish! Unforgettable trip ! Will def come back!
