    beyond expectations

    Half Day Trip4 adults

    Our family of four was just looking to fish for anything but panfish, we ended up catching walleye all morning. Pat put us on the fish right away, including an exciting 28” walleye catch for my son. The ones we kept, Pat filleted and packed in ice and gave us his recommendation for grilling them up, which we did the same day. It was such a fun experience!

    Captain Pat is the GOAT!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    This was my second trip to Wisconsin to fish, and I finally caught my first walleye. Captain Pat gave us all the tips and tricks we needed to get our limit. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, and we’ve already booked a spring fishing trip with him as well. 

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    another wonderful trip out on the lake with Captain Pat

    Half Day Trip3 adults

    This was our second trip out with Captain Pat. He has a great setup and is knowledgeable about fishing areas on the lake. He surly found the fish. Great way for my dad, my husband and me to spend a day. Would do it again.

    Great trip. Pat is very knowledgeable about walleye fishing. Put us on fish. it was windy and the bite was slow but caught the limit with the biggest at 28 1/2 inches long which we released.

    Fun Fun Fun

    Half Day Trip3 adults1 child

    We had a great fun and successful fishing trip. Captain Pat was great! He knew where to find us fish and was very helpful and patient with us as we are not fishing people. He was extra helpful and encouraging to our 10 year old son and helped him catch the biggest fish of the day. We would definitely us him again and recommend him. 😀😀😀
