Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Walleye, and who knows what else!On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your trip begins aboard a 24' Glasstream center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Fred has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

6 Hour Trip on July 25, 20263 adults2 children

Captain Fred was amazing, he was super helpful and informative, we were rookies so he took his time setting us up and showing us how to get it done. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, he was great with the kids and patient as can be. Would highly recommend to any and everyone regardless of experience Captain Fred will make sure you have a good a time!
