    We had a great time with Caleb on a morning trip. I booked the experience for my boyfriend’s birthday/Father’s Day. It was a beautiful day and we ended up with six beautiful Lake Trout. Caleb was super knowledgeable and helpful, plus just a cool guy to hang out with. Highly recommend!

Captain Caleb grew up in the Great Lakes area and has been fishing the lakes his whole life. His dad and grandpa got him into fishing. He's been a charter captain for about 8 years, running multiple different boats and fishing for pretty much anything that swims in the Great Lakes. Capt. Caleb has also fished professionally as a Walleye tournament angler. He specializes in trolling and vertical jigging and is comfortable with teaching beginners how to fish.
