Dan ZugaleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat time on the ice!
6 Hour Trip on February 17, 2026 • 2 adultsGreat day on Oneida with Justin! It was our first time ice fishing and we caught some beautiful walleye and perch. Justin was informative, patient, and made the whole experience fun. Would recommend!
Jason ZhuangRepeat angler5.0VerifiedJustin is a great guy
6 Hour Trip on January 17, 2026 • 4 adultsvery diligent and friendly
Robert MyrickRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExcellent Trip & Excellent Guide
8 Hour Trip on January 27, 2024 • 2 adultsOur Ice Fishing Trip with Captain Justin was an excellent experience. It was our first time ice fishing and he took the time to explain each step of the process, make recommendations for gear and supplies, and explain every method of ice fishing. He provided many tips and tricks for tip up fishing, dead sticking, and jigging, including demonstrating how to jig with the help of a fish finder. He and the assistant guide set up many tip ups and checked them often to make sure they were still baited. When the fish stopped biting at our first location he offered to switch us to a new location where we caught over a dozen fish, which he filleted for us. Throughout the trip he checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and warm, and had a heated shanty set up for us to take breaks in. I strongly recommend booking a trip through Over the Rail Sportfishing.
Rich CoultonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPerfect day of fishing
