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.

I want to personally thank the crew for everything this morning and say that this was an amazing fishing trip. We didn’t expect to catch so many fish but with the help of the knowledgeable crew we surpassed our expectations! I would highly recommend booking with them!

Our trip with Jeff was really great! He is fun to be around, and a very nice guy. His experience on the lake is evident, as he got us unto the fish even in the middle of the summer heat. We had a great day and went home with plenty of fish. His Airbnb right next door is also very comfortable and very handy if you want to get an early start and get on the water quickly. I would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone who wants to fill the boat with nice slab crappie!

We had a great time fishing with Gintas! He is knowledgeable and entertaining. I was impressed by how well organized and clean he kept his boat. We caught some really big lake trout and a Coho salmon this trip. We definitely will recommend him to friends and family who visit Chicago.
