Such a blast!
8 Hour Trip – Walleye on November 2, 20252 adults

Joe was a great guide! He was extremely accommodating, and made the experience one we won’t soon forget. On a difficult day of fishing due to recent bad weather, he never rested making adjustments and changing out lures and depths until we found success. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and certainly ran circles round our very basic fishing knowledge. Truly a professional. We’ll be happy to head out on another fishing day just as soon as we can get back to the area. Thanks Joe!

Epic fishing.
Afternoon trolling trip - Walleye on August 4, 20253 adults

Even though we booked a four hour trip we caught our limit in one hour and fifteen minutes. We only got a few walleye too small to keep and zero bycatch. We got a few very large walleye. The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful and put us on fish almost nonstop. The ride out was eleven miles and a little bit intense. Overall the trip was a lot of fun and very successful.

Fishing has been my passion since I was a young boy. That passion led to serious fishing during high school. After high school, I began guiding professionally in Alaska and Ohio, and I've been doing what I love every day since.
