Captain Dyson and Cory were absolutely wonderful. We did an afternoon excursion and the weather was perfect. They answered all of our questions and were so friendly and personable. They had patience with our boys and kept everything running smoothly (12 lines in the water at once)! We caught four fish, and were grateful for that because other boats around us weren’t catching any. Our 3 boys (12,11,10) each caught one which was our main goal. We will absolutely be back and will be requsting Dyson and Cory next year!!!
We caught a total of 8 fish, with 5 coming in the boat. I probably shouldn't have ate that banana before fishing. Great day with the family.
The crew was freindly, snd caring. they did everything they could to make sure we had a great experience.
Caught our limit of Lake Trout, 4x Salmon and 2 walleye, one being a massive 27" that was tagged. Great trip, very knowledgeable and friendly captain & mate. If you're looking to have a great time on the water and catch some fish, this is a trip you'll remember.
we had a great time on our 2nd charter with Happy Hookers. the captain and 1st mate were experienced, friendly, helpful and we got our full alottment of trout and some salmon. The lake was choppy, we had some weather come in and the guys were great. We had a terrific time.
