Fishing with Lenny

We had 3 kings in the boat by 8:00 AM and lost two due to fisherman error.
Captain Vaughan worked hard to get us fish. I would use him again.

Two great days!

We booked with Captain Lenny based on research and reviews. He more than met our expectations. The weather was challenging both days. However, Captain Lenny put us on the fish when others were struggling. Nothing like having three fish on2 of which were trophies. He gives his clients everything he has, and his knowledge of the lake and changing conditions is amazing. We were comfortable and had a memorable trip!  We will book again!

Evening trip with Captain Lenny

We had some inexperienced younger fisherman aboard and Captain Lenny worked hard to make their adventure both fun and rewarding! Lenny put the boat on a lot of fish when another captain we also used didn’t get a single hit all evening until the very last rays of light. You will not have a finer big lake fishing experience than you will with Slipknot and Captain Lenny at the helm!
