Captain Mike and 1st mate Tyler (Mike's son) were above and beyond for my advanced age (74), bad knees and bad left ankle. Grate assist with boarding and unboarding. Both exhibited patience and concern for my well being. Mike put us onto fish and I caught four really nice lake trout. (Smoked them the next day). My wife a non fish eater was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed her 1st adventure delving into smoked lake trout. More meals to follow. This was my 1st Lake Tahoe charter and could not gave asked for a better experience. Mike, Tyler, boat and fish were outstanding. I fully recommend Tahoe Top Liners for your Lake Tahoe Charter adventure.
We had an incredible experience on our guided fishing trip! The captain was knowledgeable, engaging, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we stepped on the boat. My teenage nephews are avid fishermen, and they really connected with him and appreciated his expertise. My dad had a fantastic time as well. Before the trip, the captain was excellent at communicating what to expect, how to dress, and how to prepare for the cool early-morning conditions, which made everything go smoothly. We enjoyed great conversation throughout the trip, and best of all, everyone caught lake trout! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—beautiful sunshine, calm water, and stunning scenery. It was a memorable morning on the lake, and we highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing adventure. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
thank you so much you guys were great to have on board and I look forward to seeing you in the future!
Captain Mike was very knowledgeable with the lake and it’s history. Got us on the fish very quickly. Was willing to risk his equipment to put us on the big ones. He and Tyler went above and beyond to give us a great experience. If I get a chance to come back to Lake Tahoe, He will be my first booking.
thank you. fun day!
Shows the power of Fish Booker. I booked this trip at short notice based on the reviews on Fish Booker and what a great find it was. Mike is the perfect guide, in depth local knowledge, worked tirelessly to keep the bites coming with changing tactics and fishing spots and was a raconteur as well. The boat and equipment was top dollar. If you are looking for a great trip I wou ld highly recommend Tahoe Topliner and Captain Mike.
Thank you for joining us on. the Lake. we look forward to seeing you again!
