The best ever!
8 Hour Trip on May 28, 20261 adult

I had an absolutely incredible experience fishing with James! From the moment we got on the water, his friendly personality and deep knowledge of fishing made the trip unforgettable. He knows exactly where to go to put you on the fish, and thanks to his expertise, we were hooking into the big ones! James is not only an amazing guide, but also incredibly accommodating and patient, making the experience enjoyable whether you’re a seasoned angler or completely new to fishing. He genuinely wants everyone to have a great time and experience the thrill of reeling in a trophy fish. If you’re looking for a guide who is professional, personable, and truly passionate about what he does, James is the one to book. I learned so many valuable fishing tips during the trip, and I’m already looking forward to coming back for another adventure. Highly recommend!

Awesome trip
8 Hour Trip on July 17, 20264 adults

Tough day on the water in the dog days of summer; however, James worked hard to find the fish for us. Later in the day, it paid off. We found the schools and caught a good amount. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this charter.

Reported catch:

what an absolute grind but when it comes together it can happen quickly and can be a fire drill. Today we quickly turned the table.

Thank you so much Brittany! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with your husband and son for such a special birthday trip.

Great trip!
8 Hour Trip on May 29, 20262 adults

We fished for big walleye. We didnt catch any smaller walleye. only walleye in the 26-30 inch and 7 to 10 pound range. The fishing was exactly as James said it would be. Also caught a huge channel cat which was surprising on a spinner bait.

Reported catch:
Walleye
