Derek was professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He taught me new fishing techniques to the point that I started calling him “Coach.” I will definitely hire him again in the future.

Captain Derek is the best.  This was a girls trip for my niece who has autism.  Derek has the patience of Job.  He was so kind, and engaged with our forever girl the whole trip.  Maelyn is easily bored so, when the fish weren’t cooperating quickly enough to hold her attention (no fault of Cap’n) he obliged her and rode her “fast” in his boat.  We appreciate you Derek & recommend this excursion to all.  Maelyn is already planning for next year so ya better rest up.

Just what we were looking for, a chill morning of fishing on the river. Derek was knowledgeable and easy going. Would highly recommend.

Excellent fishing trip. Captain Derek was very friendly and professional. Would absolutely recommend him and will definitely fish with him again.

We had a great trip even though we only caught moss and sticks, but you can’t control the weather or the fish. We just enjoyed being outside on the river doing what we love. We couldn’t have chosen a better charter. Captain Derek was super friendly, personable and knowledgeable about fishing and history of the area. We did get to see a bald eagle perched in its nest! Great conversation and views! We’re coming back in the spring time!
