The captain was wonderful! Made the whole trip memorable! Found the fish and gave detailed instructions on how to reel them in. It was our first time fishing on a boat and will definitely do it again. He was super patient and very knowledgeable! We caught a King Salmon!! Loved every minute of this trip.
Thank you. glad you had a good time. Cant believe we had 4 different species for your 1st time.
Lake was murky and temps were cold. Setup and caught Lake Trout on first cast. Rest of the trip was slow, tried jigging, casting and trolling and could not connect. Capt Ernesto was great and would book again under better water conditions.
Thanks Eric. Darn Chicago weather will occasionally things difficult for us. Look forward to a redemption trip.
Ernesto went the extra mile to help us catch bass on a slow and hot day.
Thank you. Glad we were able to get some
