Brought my family to Lake Tahoe on spring break vacation, had lots of fun from riding the mid-day ferry MS Dexie and having lunch on the boat while listening to the history of Lake Tahoe. next day was the fishing trip early beautiful morning, didn’t take long before my niece caught her first Mackinaw trout, then the next one was my wife and my son. all in all, was a very good day for fishing with the Tahoe sport fishing. loved every minute of fishing on the lake .

We had a wonderful experience with Bobby and Dawson, we caught 13 fish, we had a run in with mother nature, but Bobby’s confidence and knowledge kept us on the water, he was very kind about helping a not so nimble lady off the boat and on as well, highly recommend Tagoe sportfishing!

Zach and Nate took us on a great fishing trip today. All of those on the shared trip caught fish, catching 16 all together. They made sure to give everyone tips and were very helpful. They learned everyone’s names and called out pointers. We will absolutely fish with them on our next trip to Lake Tahoe!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a great time out on the water with Zach and Nate. It’s awesome that everyone on the shared trip landed fish—16 in total is a solid day! The guys take pride in making the experience personal and helpful, and it means a lot to hear their efforts stood out. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another day of fishing on Lake Tahoe!

We booked a private trip for a group of 18/19 year old hockey players who wanted to do something fun while also enjoying the beautiful scenery in Lake Tahoe. This trip definitely gave them memories to last years as the captain and crew were great in making the outing successful. Appreciated all the guidance from the captain and crew as these boys were new to fishing! But happy to report they came back with enough fish for dinner! Can’t wait to do it again!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear the boys had such a memorable time and enjoyed the beautiful Lake Tahoe scenery. It’s great that the captain and crew could help guide them through the fishing experience, especially since they were new to it. We’re happy to know they got enough fish for dinner! We’d love to have you all back for another adventure soon!

This trip would be great for solo or family’s. It’s easy enough for kids but still just as fun! You can ship your fish back or take them to the local restaurant and have them cook it up for you. I’d definitely do this again
