    Best guide ever!

    Morning Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    I’ve fished from Alaska to Costa Rica and everywhere in between. Hands down I can say that Joe is one of the best captains I’ve ever had the pleasure to fish with. He goes above and beyond to ensure that not only do you have a great time and catch fish but that your safety and overall experience is second to none. If I could give 10 stars I would and will definitely not only recommend him but will be back to fish with him again!

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    White Bass
    Response from Captain
