Full Day Trip on June 21, 2025

I booked a trip with Captain Greg for my son’s 10th birthday. When Greg found out it was for his birthday, he offered to send me a gift certificate so that I had some physical to give him for a present. I thought that was very thoughtful. My husband and two boys spent the day on the lake catching fish after fish! Captain was on time, he was friendly and knew the good spots. He even took a ton of pictures that he sent me after the trip concluded. We will definitely not only be recommending him to others but we’ll be booking with him again! Thank you, Greg for helping my boys make some wonderful memories today!!

Thanks so much for the kind words. This family is really representative of what’s right in this world. The boys were very good fishermen and just overall great kids. The looks on their faces were priceless especially while battling some very hard fighting fish! They listened and learned and were very respectful. Truly a great day on the water. Thanks again. I look forward to future adventures!

Half Day Trip on June 11, 2025

Our day started out chilly, windy and overcast. I went into this fearing we wouldn’t catch anything and my son and boyfriend would end up not having a good time. I was completely wrong. Greg is knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining and accommodating. The fish weren’t biting much at first, but he still managed to keep our spirits and hopes up! He assured us we would catch fish and we did. By the end of our trip we had caught over 30 fish and had a blast. As soon as we got back in our truck my 17 year old son said how much he liked Greg and what a good time we had. I would recommend Captain Greg to anyone!

Walleye Night Fishing

Night Walleye Trip (2 MAX) on July 5, 2025

Great night on the water. This was a fantastic option to watch the sunset and fish for smallmouth bass and as the sun set; fish for Walleye. We met Captain Greg at the boat launch and he was ready to go. Just a short boat ride to the fishing location. Greg was very knowledgeable on the waterways, fishing techniques/advice and Buffalo history. Greg made this trip very enjoyable for myself and friend visiting from Seattle. Definitely would book with him again in the future.

Thanks for the kind review! You guys were a ton of fun to have onboard. Made the most of a slow bite but the quality was definitely there. Good friends fishing together is not overrated! Hopefully we’ll see you in the future. Thanks again for a great trip.

Half Day Trip on June 29, 2025

We had a great time! Captain Greg was knowledgeable about where the fish are, had lots of equipment, taught us all about the area, had great stories, snacks, and waters. We all caught a bunch of different fish! Would definitely recommend him to anyway and hopefully we’ll be back in the area to fish again! Thanks so much Greg!

Thanks for the great review. We did catch a bunch of fish today even though I thought the bite was tough. You all used previous fishing experience plus you listened and learned maybe a few new tricks. This family is a great example of what’s right in today’s society. You’re raising a fine young man. He’s smart, funny, respectful and just an all around good kid. Lots of very big fish, including a 9lb+ northern pike, personal bests in several categories and a nice variety. I am guilty of having at least as much fun today as you all did. I would openly accept a return trip should you ever venture my way again. Safe travels, have a great summer. Thank you again.
