Friendly Captain, knowledgeable, nice boat and equipment. Caught quite a few fish, we had a blast! Totally worth it!

Captain was great, weather was good and we caught fish!

I’ve had the pleasure to book a couple of trips every year since Joel started guiding. Each one is it’s own adventure.  Good weather, bad weather, cold and hot days, calm seas and rough water, they all add to the adventure.  Hunting muskies is like being a fireman….. many hours of no activity and then comes the rush when a strike hits.  If muskies were easy, there wouldn’t be much of a challenge to fishing them.  The conversation in between is what makes most fishing trips… I’ve always felt that the fish is the bonus. I’m fortunate to have an older brother (bumping into his mid 80s)  that is heading past his prime for fishing muskies (and I’m not too far behind!)  Joel has been nothing but attentive to making sure my brother and I are still able to experience fishing together and creating new stories to tell. 

Joel’s boat and equipment are top notch.  His knowledge of the River and Bay are thorough and his network of other guides keep him well informed on the happenings on the bay.  You won’t be disappointed booking a trip with him.  Remember, the fish is the bonus to the experience.  Biggest muskie so far is a 48”... still hunting that 50” for the wall!!!
