Great day

Half Day Bass Fishing on May 20, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! Captain Joe was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt comfortable and had a great experience. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and we caught plenty of fish throughout the day. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole trip was relaxing and fun from start to finish. Whether you’re experienced or a first-timer, I highly recommend this trip.

Half Day Salmon & Lake Trout on May 24, 2026 • 2 adults

It was a bit of a tough bite and my son is VERY new to fishing but Joseph was super patient and kept after it until he got us on some nice smallmouth. I was thrilled but more importantly my son had an amazing experience.

Thanks Nate, it was a pleasure to see your young son so enthused about fishing! I'm glad I could help him tie into a few nice fish!
