    Family Surprise

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Trip on July 26, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    We surprised our kids with a 3 hour PM fishing charter. Although we didn't have the same luck as the morning trip had, we snagged two king salmon. It was a foggy but beautiful night on the boat and a core memory for the kids. They can't wait to take another trip in the future!

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Trip on May 23, 2026 • 5 adults

    the fish wasn’t biting very well, towards the end of excursion we finally got a lake trout. I think it was the weather that was against us, it didn’t spoil our time on the lake, plan on doing it again real soon. thank you for the great time you shared with us.

    Evening tour

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Trip on July 13, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jim is a real Wisconsin character who's been doing this for over 40 years. I felt we were in good hands. We took a 5:30pm tour with Captain Jim and first mate Josh and had a great time. We trolled for a while out on the water until we had to call it a night due to an approaching thunderstorm. As Josh was pulling lines in, the very last rod suddenly had a strike, and my son and I landed a 15lb salmon in some choppy waters before we hightailed it back to the dock. It was awesome!

    Top Notch Captain & Mate - Caught Our Limit

    5 Hour Trip (10:30AM) on May 25, 2024 • 2 adults

    Highly recommend hiring this experienced fishing team. We had a perfect experience & caught our limit of coho. Jim & Troy used various baits & techniques to keep the fish biting. Can't say enough good things about our overall experience. Will fish with them again.

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 29, 2023 • 4 adults

    Water conditions were a little rough due to a storm and wind the night before put Cptn. James still put us on a couple of Coho’s. If conditions were better I know we would have caught more. Him and his first mate are hilarious and share good stories and jokes. Boat was clean and nice and he cleaned our fish for us after the trip. Would 100% recommend and go out with Cptn. James again.

Great Trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Dave is great and really put us on the fish! His first mate for our trip was Kyle, who was super with our 9 and 11 year old grand kids. Kyle just graduated from high school and is on his way to UW La Crosse, but he set up the rods and downriggers like a pro. He was also very patient with the kiddos when they were fighting and landing our catch!

I began guiding because I fell in love with hearing the reel scream with a big King Salmon on the line. I wanted to share that experience with as many people as I could!
