Half Day Private Trip NOV-MAR 12.30

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!

My husband and I went on the trip for his birthday. It was my first time fishing. Captain Cesar and his assistant Conner were very good with teaching us and helping. They were really friendly and very knowledgeable which made the experience even better.

Got off a little delayed in morning but to be expected as the first boat out. Captain Sammy and his deck hand ( sorry forgot his name :( ) did a great job all morning putting us on and keeping us on the fish. Highly recommend this charter!

Captain Anthony and his mate did an awesome job putting us on fish and making the morning trip a great overall fishing experience. You can’t beat the views of the area and the weather was perfect.
