Captain Karl was the highlight of the trip. Great boat, awesome guy, plenty of fish. I've been on day trips like this all over and this is as good as any. Captain Karl knew exactly where to take us. Great gear, and a great experience. I'll be booking with Captain Karl again. My son had a blast. Can't wait to get out again!
One of the best guided trips we ever been. From boat, to captain, equipment, catches and weather all was fantastic. Using his knowledge of the local waters and real time updates from his network of boats on the water, Captain Karl kept us on the fish, with the right bait, at the right depth & presentation most of the day. If you want to learn trolling(like me) or you simply want to have a great fishing day, I highly recommend Captain Karl. Thank you !
Went on a trip with me and two other buddies. Neither of us had much experience at all, but Capt. Carl showed us the ropes paired with a great time. The experience exceeded expectations and was a great time. I would highly recommend booking and giving this trip a shot. Would definitely love to do it again some time. Best pricing around as well!
Thank you for fishing with me! Great crew! I enjoy showing new anglers trolling methods and techniques we use. Hope to see soon.
CPT Karl was polite, accommodating, and well prepared. He communicated with the fishing community throughout the week and had a game plan. Within minutes of putting the rods out we were getting bites. We pretty much hit the limit within a few hours. P.S. This was the second time we've been out with him. Planning to go with him again later this summer
It was a pleasure having you. I look forward to fishing with you again.
Awesome experience- Great Captain- Kept us on the fish - limited out - will definitely do a repeat in the fall -

I started fishing on Lake Michigan 10 years ago and fell in love with it. I found joy in putting my friends on fish and decided to get a captain license and start a charter.
