This was my second time fishing with Captain Andy and Scott and they have always been great! They are patient and helpful with newcomers and explain everything in great detail. Also, no matter the conditions they always get us on good fish! The best in the business!! Thanks again!
Anthony Thanks again. Your group is so much fun to have out I look forward to our next trip Andy
Capt Andy and First Mate Scott worked hard to help us catch 2 coho salmon and a big, beautiful steelhead trout on a day that other boats came home empty. Boat was comfortable as we trolled. Fish were cleaned by the time we got back to the marina. Excellent outing.
Brad You guys made a great crew. I hope we can get out again and catch a few more next time Thanks again Andy
We had a fantastic fishing trip! Our group of five all had a great time, and we caught plenty of salmon and trout. The captain and first mate were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. We would definitely recommend this charter and would love to fish with them again!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Your group was a lot of fun. Good luck in your endeavors, I am sure you will succeed Doctor Carolyn. Thanks again Andy
This was such a great adventure for us first-timers on a fishing boat! Captain Andy and co-captain Scott were so helpful and educational. We learned technique, about fishing in the great lakes, types of fish, and how fish are replenished. It was a good day for us and we took home a great haul. The boat is clean and well equipped, and Andy cleans and fillets all the fish. We can't wait to do it again in 2026!
Terry The trip with your son was great. i hope we can it again Andy
