4 Hour Trip (AM)
Nick was a total professional our entire trip. He was in contact with us with any questions wd had before our trip. He was on time and greeted us and helped us in the boat once we met in person. He was very informative on the techniques of the type of fishing we did and answered many questions about the lake we were on and his experience with fishing and guiding. There were 4 of us in our group and he was kept very busy baiting, casting, and netting Walley. He could not have been more friendly and professional.

Had a great time! Captain was constantly reassessing to make sure we stayed on the fish. Top notch equipment and quality electronics helped him do that. While we didn't come home with 4 limits (I mean.. Lets be reasonable), we left with plenty of fish. He even cleaned the for us before we left. Would hire again for sure!!!

Nick was fantastic! Easy to work with, had a great knowledge of the area, and found us fish to catch of the type we were wanting to! Boat was spacious and had some great fish finding electronics. Everyone on the trip had a fun time; definitely would recommend to any and all types of groups and fishing experience!
