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.

Our family had an absolute blast. Captain was on time, loaded with bait and tackle, and ready to shove off promptly at 7am. We could not have asked for better weather, company, and atmosphere. Captain immediately put us on a prime spot, where we landed fish after fish for the next 4 hours. We landed Northern Pike, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, and plate size Bluegill. Such a great day on the water and making fantastic memories with the family.

My wife and I came up from Florida for a wedding and decided to try our hand at catching some Smallmouth Bass. Captain Eric put us on great fishing and both of us were able to catch (and release) our first Smallmouth Bass. Great trip!

Booked the 4 hour fishing trip as an anniversary gift for my son & daughter in-law. Captain Erik of Tactical Angling was a terrific guide! He was very accommodating, engaging & patient. He taught us some new techniques for catching panfish (pumpkinseeds/bluegill) and spent a lot of time with my son (who was only interested with going after good sized large & smallmouth bass). We all had a great time and caught a total of 81 fish! We plan on making this an annual event. Thanks again Captain Erik!

I recommend booking Fish Stalker Charters. We had a very successful day fishing. Captain Kevin was great! No problems with the boat or fishing gear, everything worked fine. Captain Kevin found the fish for us and we have time.
