June fishing trip
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 22, 20242 adults4 children

Captain Scott & his wife Sarah made our trip a very rememberable experience for our family. Captain and wife were very patient in explaining how to properly reel in a walleye . Our youngest member was having trouble reeling in the long distance catches so Captain Scott made sure when there was a fish on a short line to get him on that pole so he was able to catch fish as well. Everyone caught six plus fish total 36 for our group of six over a period of five hours. We caught all walleye and one rainbow trout.

Reported catch:
Walleye
