Took my 3 sons out for a collective birthday present and had a great time. Everyone caught fish and the captain and crew clearly knew what they were doing. They’re nice guys too! Answered everyone’s questions, interesting to talk to - we had a great time!

Great time fishing

Captain was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a slow start to actually catching fish. There were plenty of fish where he took us but they weren't biting. He then took us to another location and we started catching fish. We all had a great time. We will book again with him next time.

The captain and crew knew exactly whet to do, where to go to find fish, and provided opportunities to try different methods of fishing. The water was cold and fish sparse, but they took us to the right spots to catch a trophy type lake trout.
