Start your day as a winner and come back with a bucket full of fish before noon. You'll go after Largemouth Bass, Musky, Pike, and Walleye. Capt. Eric will cover your fishing equipment, so you only need to purchase your license and bring some snacks and drinks. If you're after Walleye, you'll depart at sunset.

This trip is as simple as that. Bring your food and drinks, and we will take you fishing for bass or whatever bites on the Chicago River. Departs from Montrose harbor and trip will be 5 hours long. Catch and release. I describe this trip as a glorified booze cruise for 6passengers.

Had an outstanding morning of catching huge pike and largemouth bass with Captain Erik on Lake Delavan. My son and I had a memorable morning together on the water with several catches that were personal bests. We highly recommend Captain Erik and can't wait to book the next trip with him!

Erik is extremely knowledgeable about the local lakes. He made sure the children and adults had a great time. He’s works well with all levels of experience and ability. If you wand a top notch guide who will make your day fun and enjoyable I highly recommend him.

Great Fishing, Great Captain
5/5
We took our 16yo daughter on her first charter boat and she was hooked, not once but three times! Captain Kevin is what you expect from a seasoned fisherman, he was proactive and efficient in getting us fish. He never stopped working hard at making our trip a success. We’re so happy we charted with Kevin. We landed 6 Kings and 4 Lake Trout. Highly recommended, Epic!

Great Trip!
5/5
The experience was outstanding. The boys caught the quota and left exhausted. The captain and crew were jovial and helped with everything. Boat was very clean. I am planning on returning and would highly recommend this boat to anyone that asks. Thank you for a great time!
