Your journey takes place on a 27’ Hewescraft aluminum fishing boat. It’s powered by 300 HP Suzuki engines, can sit up to 6 anglers, and uses top-class navigation electronics. The boat features a semi-private toilet, air-conditioning, a wireless trolling motor, and 2 ice boxes. Its fishing gear includes outriggers, downriggers, and a livewell. A first mate also joins your trip.

The species you can go after are Brown, Lake, and Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Muskellunge, Yellow Perch, as well as Smallmouth Bass. You’ll use light and heavy tackle bottom fishing, jigging, and drift fishing. You can keep all the fish you catch if you want to. Bring your kids on the trip as well, as the crew loves teaching them how to fish.

Captain Brent provides all the fishing gear, live bait, lures, water, snacks, and lunch. Catch cleaning is available for a small additional fee. The only things you should bring for your trip are fishing licenses, a camera, clothing for the weather, soft shoes, and your smile.

4 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 4) on June 16, 2023

Captain Snyder ran a terrific charter! The professionalism he exhibited in handing his boat, rigging the multiple fishing lines, and finally cleaning and filleting our catch of walleye was the best! His very friendly personality made for a perfect day on the water. Can't wait until our next outing! I recommend booking him now because his calendar is really full!
