Great day with captain Chris!

VERIFIED

My son Blayne and I fished with Chris on sept 8th. Chris used all the tricks in his book to put us on fish. The lake conditions were difficult but Chris got it done. We limited out on lake trout and one short of a limit on kings. Chris is a great guy and a fun person to be on the water with. He works very hard on the boat to maximize your opportunity. I highly recommend him.!!

CAUGHT BIG FISH

VERIFIED

Capt. Chris put us on the fish and we started catching them almost immediately. The weather ended up being a bit rough so we went in early but it was still a great trip.
