Thank you Anthony and his daughter Lily. It was a great day of fishing catfish, bluegill, walleye, and more. We took our two boys 10y & 5y to Fox lake. It was a perfect day for both parents and kids.

Had a spectacular day pulling in a variety of fish from large and small mouth bass to blue fill to walleye, rock bass and more! Fished Lake Geneva in mid September with my 88 year old dad and two brothers. Plenty of room on Erik’s 22ft Skeeter. Erik is a patient, knowledgeable and pleasant angler. Would highly recommend.

I had three young grandsons with me and the captain and deck hand were wonderful with them. They were really nice guys. Halfway through the trip the wind kicked up bad and pretty much killed the bite. But all six of us still caught a fish. Despite the wind, the air temperature was great. It was a beautiful day. We all had a wonderful time on the water.

From great communication before the trip to an amazing day on the water, Captain Daryl and mate Parker were the best. They never stop working to put you on the fish - and all with a smile.
Will be going back out with the Merganzer team soon.
