It’s powered by a 300 HP Volvo Penta engine, guaranteeing you get to the fishing quickly and not waste any time. A full-head enclosed toilet is available on board, ensuring comfort in almost any situation.
The charter provides customers with excellent equipment from Daiwa and Akuma, allowing you to be 100% focused on the fishing. Brand-new electronic equipment is also in place to track that hot bite, as well as a wireless trolling motor, so you can sneak up on the catch.
Captain Rick Austin has over 40 years of fishing on this lake and he’s eager to share his tricks and secret fishing spots with the customers. There’s no minimum age for children and you’re welcome to bring them aboard so they can learn the thrill of fishing. Whether it’s bottom fishing, trolling, light tackle or even ice fishing, this charter is ready to cater to its customers.

That was everything we could have wished for! My sons (9 and 11) had an unforgettable time—both got to reel in a fish and even take a turn “driving” the boat (which they’re still bragging about, lol). We all loved being out on the water and soaking in the beautiful lake views. Captain Rick was incredibly welcoming, responsive to our requests, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain each step, share his knowledge, and make sure we all felt involved. A perfect outing—we’d absolutely recommend it!
