Capt. Joe is seasoned and experienced. He knows where the fish are. My 82 year old dad caught a 27 inch walleye. We had loads of fun and tons of fish to eat!

8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX6)

The crew treated us well and gave us a great trip. Fish weren’t biting great, but of the charters I saw, we were the last to come in. I appreciate them trying to bolster or number of fish and get close to our limit. Our charter ended up with the most fish that chimed in on the radio. Thanks fellas.
