Skylar was exceptionally conscientious and professional during our fishing outing with him. He made it a priority to assure we were successful in catching some nice fish in spite of the late summer heat. Skylar was very engaged and provided ongoing assistance and oversight to assure we had quality bait and guidance in terms of casting and technique. We had a very enjoyable time!
Skylar is an exceptional fishing guide—the complete package. His knowledge of the water and techniques is top-notch, but what really sets him apart is how he combines that expertise with genuine enthusiasm and excellent teaching. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why, teaching us techniques we'll use for years to come. We caught some nice fish, but honestly, Skylar's personality and passion for the sport made the whole experience memorable regardless of what was biting. If you're looking for a guide who's skilled, personable, and ensures you have a great time while learning, book with Skylar. We'll definitely be back.
First 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!
Thanks Laura! Your family was so much fun to have. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind words. Please come back!
We 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!
we caught large/small mouth, white bass, catfish, walleye. 20+ good fish. skylar cleans the fish for a small fee and its worth every penny! highly recommend skylar hamilton.
