Reel Patriot Sportfishing and Guide Service 

Tom Stygar was the epitome of a professional fishing guide. We were celebrating out 60th wedding anniversay and he brings me flowers and a card! We are in our mid-eighties and he made getting in and out of the boat easy! Because of the extreme heat, he suggested we moved the time back several hours which was a blessing. Tom had patience teaching me to use a rod and reel. And, yes, we caught fish. Everyone should experience this guide!

Had an amazing time with Captain Tom. He is tremendously knowledgeable and did a great job coaching my teenage son on Salmon fishing techniques. Boat is well outfitted and we caught several sizeable Salmon on Lake Michigan and had an amazing time. Would higly recommend!!!

captain Tom was excellent. we have a great morning. Captain Tom was very knowledgeable and very patient. we would do further fishing trips with him.

It was great learning about Lake Geneva and the lures and techniques we used while fishing. A+ experience!

Tom was a geeat captain and was able to put us on some fish. very knowledgeable and had a fun time!

We met Captain Tom at the pier and got right to it. fishing was slow, but we knew conditions (time of year, weather, etc) were far from ideal. Even with a slow start, Captain Tom worked tirelessly to try and get us in the fish. Service was excellent as he had plenty of gear setup for us to use. He made suggestions on lures/methods, and showed us nimerous hot spots on the lake. We did finish strong with some nice action to end the day. Honestly - that was just a nice bonus. We had already decided that we would be reaching out to him for future outings. Great guy, great experience!

One of our CPAs and his wife traded spreadsheets for spinnerbaits during our partner retreat and had a reel good time! We booked with Tom and had Anthony as a guide. They report having an awesome time and catching multiple types of fish. They said they would 10/10 come back for another voyage!

Captain Tom was as wholesome as they come. The chill vibes coming from his soul were the same chill vibes we felt out on the water all afternoon. The experience was truly incredible, and one that we’ll remember for many years to come. Would definitely recommend Tom for any group looking for a good time & helpful tool / source of information when it comes to any of your fishing needs or desires. God bless our Veteran’s - such as Tom !!

Me and my 3 grandkids had a blast with Captain Tom. This was our first time on a fishing charter. Captain Tom was so helpful and he taught the kids how to fish and was so encouraging! We were pulling in fish left and right. we caught about 40 fish!! It was a great experience and we will be making reservations with Captain Tom again. We took lots of pictures and left with great memories and excitment for our next trip.

Tom was a pleasure to spend time with. I am a relative novice, and he showed great patience and did a good job educating me. My son-in-law is a good fisherman, and Tom was able to show him a few tricks. This is a strong recommendation. And we caught a lot of fish.
