We all were able to witness Carter catching his first musky, a beauty! 36 inches 17 pounds. This is a memory that will last lifetime for all of his family. Thanks again...
great tripbon a very hot day. jst short of a 50 inch fish.
We had an amazing trip with Captain Steve and Mike.
Great with kids very good charter.
Muskies eat when they want and not any time sooner. It was a hot day where plenty of other boats were getting skunked all day but our crew kept at it. They never slowed down or gave up. We ended up hooking my youngest, who wrestled in a 39 inch tiger musky. Now she can't wait to go fishing again.
