Unbelievable Trip!
6 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on July 6, 20263 adults

Captain Alec is hands down the best charter captain I’ve worked with. Between myself and two sons we hooked 15 King Salmon and filled a cooler. Alec is knowledgeable, professional, and a great charter. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting to catch sone big fish!

My name is Alec Nickel and I have been fishing since I was 3 years old. My Grandparents have been in the Taxidermy Industry for over 45 years and my Grandpa taught me all of my fishing and hunting skills growing up. I am a 'River Rat' and I have been fishing the Rock River, Mississippi River, and Wisconsin River since I was a kid! I started a YouTube channel in 2020 and began producing videos for myself and others to enjoy. I learned shortly after starting my YouTube Channel, that I wanted to share my passion of fishing with as many people as I could. I love teaching people how to fish and helping them catch their next Trophy. I work really well with children and love getting them into the outdoors. I look forward to seeing you in the future and enjoying some time on the water to chase Walleye, Smallmouth, Salmon or Perch!
