Member since May 2025 Clayton, United States
Background
I’m Captain Curtis Rissberger. I founded Berger Ops. Fishing® in 2019. Berger Ops. Fishing® is the culmination of my fresh water fishing experience, lure building expertise, passion for environmental conservation, and eagerness to share what I know. I began my fishing experience dropping worms off the end of a dock at a family camp located on Wellesley Island, New York in 1999. Since then, my knowledge of the St. Lawrence River, boating, fishing, and aquatic life in general has been bolstered by countless experiences on the St. Lawrence River with friends, family, and fellow angers who share a similar passion. My hope is to perpetuate these fond memories to future generations through my guided fishing trips and charter service. You can count on Berger Ops. Fishing® to provide industry leading tact, knowledge, fun, and safety on and off the water.
Techniques
Present the fish with what they are most likely to see and respond to in their natural environment.
