Cpt. Matt reached out the day before our trip to make sure we arrived safely and where to meet. We left on time. Crew hand Bill was there and assisted us. Matt and Bill used downriggers and all we had to do was reel in the walleye. Easy peasy! We caught LOTS of fish. No need to bring equipment. They had everything. Just bring a drink or two. When we got back to the docks, they both cleaned and fillet our fish. They bagged them and we put them on ice in a cooler we had in our vehicle. You don’t need to bring a cooler on the boat. The boat was comfortable. Matt and Bill are personable fellows with a good sense of humor and made sure we were safe and comfortable. They are good people, professional, and friendly. All these characteristics made for a great fishing trip and good memories. Thank you!

Captain Matt answered all our questions before the charter and called the day before to check if we were all set. We were first ones on the lake!!! In 2 hours we had our limit of walleye and back at the dock. Lake was choppy so we had no problem with being back on land.

Great Trip

7 Hour Trip 5AM (3-4 guests) on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults

I booked this trip for my son's graduation gift. We had an awesome time. Captain had us on fish before he got all the rods out. On the water, he was focused on his trade of putting fish in the boat. Back at the Marina, he cleaned our fish and engaged in conversation with us.

Captain and deckhand did a great job of keeping the lines ready and put us on fish quick. Captain had a good sense of humor and the deckhand was a good dude. We got lots of filets to take home and it was a fun experience.
