Big Lakers !
4 Hour Trip on May 29, 20262 adults
A great day on the Queen. Rick and Mark are super knowledgeable! My son and I learned a new technique that really hauled in some nice Lakers . Had well over 20 bites and put 14 in the net . Catch and release . The boat and equipment are well maintained and parking onsite was great ! Highly recommend to any angler looking for a great experience.

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!
