This was a gift to my father.  At 86 there is little one can get someone at that age.  So, we got him this trip.  It was a great experience for dad, he caught a lot of fish, and he really enjoyed his day out fishing.  I would do it again i a heartbeat.  Pat was very knowledgable about the fish we wanted to fish and where to go.  Some of the best fishing I have done with my dad.

The weather was cold & rainy and we still caught over 50+ fish. We had 25 good size Crappies in the live well at the end of our 5 hour outing.

Captain Hook is a great fisherman, and an even better person!  He had the patience of Job, and the skills of a Linder/Winkleman.  Knows the lakes and is one of the best people you will ever meet.  Took kids who hadn’t been out before, and a their older cousin, who is a very serious fisherman (has won the local musky league two of the past 3 weeks, the only two he fished) and kept them all entertained and on fish.  You can’t go wrong with him!

Pat was a great choice for a guide.  We were going to fish on the lake that we were staying on all week, and he dropped his boat in our lake, picked us up, and he showed us spots for Walleye and Crappie.  We had a good week after our half day with him thanks to his helpfulness.  And the night of our trip with Pat we had a delicious Crappie dinner thanks to his cleaning our catch.
