    Captain Matt Dailey was great with families. He was patient with my 7rd old and taught us about rigging up different ways. It worked because we brought perch, freshwater drum and walleye on the boat. An excellent trip! The boat was walk on ready.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Yellow Perch

    Half Day Trip with Captain Matt

    We had an absolute blast with Captain Matt! He was so easy to work with...communicated/responded well, marina was easy to find, boat was well-equipped and clean. Within minutes of being on the water we had our first fish on the line and then never went more than 15 minutes without catching another. We limited out on Walleye! Matt's a friendly and knowledgeable guy who will keep you entertained while teaching you a few things. He even had all of our fish cleaned and packaged for us...you can't beat that! If you're looking for a fun, relaxing day on the lake, I'd highly recommend Captain Matt Dailey and ReelMD Charter!

    Reported catch:

    Afternoon Bite5 adults1 child

    We had a wonderful trip with Capt Matt. We joined Capt Matt for an afternoon trip that didn’t let us down. We had group of people with various level of experience and Capt Matt made sure everyone was able to enjoy the afternoon. We all enjoyed our time on the water and had the added bonus of leaving with a cooler full of walleye. Would highly recommend a trip with Capt Matt. We’ve already booked our trip for next year.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Response from Captain

    Fishing with Family

    Well the waves were a bit rough but we were determined to make a morning of it. Caught some fish. Made a friend at the same time. Captain Matt didn’t let us done. He was a pleasure to hang out with and very informative, since we aren’t the greatest fisherman and fisherwomen. Thanks for the experience.
