I got you!
3/4 Day Trip on October 18, 20254 adults

Orignally booked with another charter, but got cancel 6 days before the trip due to a blown motor. I had to quickly find another one, because we were surprising our buddy for his 40th. I probably messaged 10 other captains to find a trip last minute. Todd was the ONLY one that was willing to accomodate the 5 of us and We had a blast. 31 fish in the boat. Biggest fish was a 30” Northern just barely beating my 2” Largemouth Bass xD. Highly recommend Todd! Great guide and fun Captain. Our buddy had a wonderful birthday fishing trip and had already talked about using him for Ice fishing.

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass
Northern Pike

Fantastic day on the water!
Half day trip on August 8, 20251 adult1 child

Todd was prepared and ready for us. We left promptly at our scheduled time. He was very friendly and helped us through our struggles and got us on fish. My 10 year old daughter had a great time and Todd was very patient with her and accommodating to us. Would definitely recommend him and will contact him again if we are in the area again.

Captain Todd knows where the fish are.
Half Day Trip on July 31, 20251 adult1 child

Captain Todd is an expert in these waters. He was well prepared with the right bait and tackle for what the situation required. This is a great charter for parents with kids. Captain Todd got me my first pike and also helped my eight year old daughter land the the biggest pike of the trip. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Response from Captain

Thanks, Jonathan. It was a fun morning with you and your daughter. Your daughter did a great job today catching the 31" pike. You have a great little fishing partner.
