Duane Zigler5.0VerifiedNewTop Notch
4 Hour Trip on November 6, 2026 • 2 adultsSkylar is a phenomenal person and Captain. We were nailing bass from first casts and most of the morning. He was very attentive to ensuring a great trip, comfortable nice boat and fishing gear. Highly recommend him and this goes for both trips we’ve had with him.
Peter Varga Jr5.0VerifiedHighly Recommend Captain Skylar!
6 Hour Trip on June 26, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had an amazing day with Captain Skylar! He was knowledgeable, professional, and kept us on fish all day. The highlight was watching my two boys, ages 13 and 16, catch more fish than they ever have on a fishing trip. Captain Skylar was great with them and made the experience one we’ll never forget. I highly recommend booking a trip with him, and we’ll definitely be back!

excellent service
6 Hour Trip on August 26, 2026 • 3 adultsYou couldn’t ask for a better angling experience. Skylar is dedicated to his craft with tons of experience under his belt, but is the chillest captain you can come across. If you’re looking for a great learning experience while hanging out and ripping some lips, look no further!
Laura Askren5.0VerifiedOMG! Best trip ever!
4 Hour Trip on July 17, 2026 • 5 adultsFirst off, captain Skyler was awesome. He made sure we had a great time and was so well prepared. We caught over 20 fish in just 3 hours! We caught small and large mouth bass, flat head catfish, and channel. Skyler cleaned all the fish for us too. Thank you for everything!
