    Great trip and excellent experience

    Half Day Trip - Walleye (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Troy and 1st mate were an excellent team. We caught all kinds of walleyes and limited out with plenty of time left over. The boat was clean, everyone was friendly. They cleaned and packed up our fish as well! Will definitely use them in the future!
