Had a really good time. The captain and captains crew did a really good job making sure that everyone was aware when they had fish on and showed us how to use the fishing gear. As well as taking care of a fish after we were done catching our limit and I would suggest anyone who wants to have a good time catching fish to give it a try.

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!

We had an awesome time with the Captain Zach and deck hand Nate. Caught plenty of fish for supper at MacDuffs Pub! Will definitely look these guys back up at Tahoe Sport fishing when we come back.
