Tobey Dickeson5.0VerifiedNEWCaptian Tyler is the best!
Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adultCaptain Tyler was a phenomenal captain, and I would highly recommend him to anyone regardless of their knowledge level. Captain Tyler was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. He is extremely familiar with the water and even mentioned having over 800 saved waypoints, which really speaks to his experience and preparation. I had never used a charter service before, and he set the bar incredibly high. I really enjoyed the trip, and can't wait to schedule another in the future. Thank you again, Tyler!

Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adultsOur trip was a gift for my son who is an avid fisherman. He usually fishes local creeks and a few times a year from a dock on Keuka Lake. Tyler made sure to put us in places where we could catch small mouth bass. While we were out, he taught us more than we could imagine. He answered all my son’s questions and gave him a ton of tips. Not only did we talk fishing, but also cars, family (Tyler has two little ones at home), work, life experiences, etc. We also swapped stories. Tyler is a good guy. He’s friendly, entertaining, and wants his clients to have a good time. We’ll be sure to book another trip with him next year. Check him out! You won’t ve disappointed!

Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adultsCaptian Tyler took us out for a specific species (smallmouth bass) and put my brother and I on the fish! My brother caught his PB smallmouth on this trip 5lbs.2oz. Captain Tyler is very knowledgeable about fishing Lake Erie and knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish. We had a great time...
Response from Captainthanks Ron you and Bob were awesom!
