Wonderful experience for our 10 year old grandson
4 Hour Trip on June 26, 20262 adults1 child

We were very impressed with the entire experience. Jamison was punctual and ready when we arrived. His boat was top notch and well equipped. He was very good with our 10 year old grandson and gave good instruction to help him catch several fish. Our grandson has not stopped talking about this experience. . He cleaned 4 nice walleye for us, but also caught Drum fish and white striped bass. It was so relaxing for us as Jamie did a lot of the work. Highly recommend!

Reported catch:
Walleye

Great Time!!
4 Hour Trip – Sturgeon on September 27, 20252 adults

My husband and I had such a great time! Less than an hour, he caught a sturgeon and soon after I did as well. We were very happy that we were able to being that we were told that they weren't biting a lot. Jamison was wonderful in getting to know and talking with him. We highly recommend choosing his guide service. You'll be sure to catch the species of fish that you're looking to target.
