  We had a wonderful time. I brought my family of four and Captain Todd was extremely attentive to us. Not a hook went unbathed, and we caught so many fish we lost count. He asked what kind of fish we were interested in catching and we targeted those. We had the privilege of hearing multiple stories of his past times fishing, and he provided a lot of insight and education to our trip. Specifically he knew everything there was to know about our target species and best methods of catching (simplicity is best)! He was patient and gave lots of reminders on how best to set hooks. Highly recommend booking him. We will be back!

  Todd put fish in the boat even in adverse conditions.

  Our trip was a great experience even though the conditions were not great. We boated walleye and some of the best perch you could hope for. I am an avid angler myself and can say that from the boat, to the electronics, to the tackle, all great quality. He even added forward facing sonar to the rear of the boat for the rear angles. I can tell you from several guided trips most captains do not go to those lengths to get you the best experience that you can have. I would for sure book him again without hesitation.
