Being from the Port Clinton area as well as the early exposure through his dad and uncles who were charter captains got Captain Ken hooked! Learning the reefs, rock piles, and deep water techniques became a part of his passion for guiding people in their pursuits.

    Hopefully more trips in the future!

    4-Hour Trip – Jig for Walleye - 2:00 PM3 adults

    Fishing trip was more than we expected. Crew was great, helpful, engaged, and full of knowledge and willing to answer any and all questions. My 13 year old probably had the most fun he’s ever had fishing, and as a mom that meant so much to me to see him so happy and this crew help make that happen. My son was already wanting to plan another trip before we left the dock. Kenny is a wealth of knowledge and even went as far as to send me recipes and a video on how to prepare my fish, along with finding someone to filet our catch for us. These extra steps really made everything easy to enjoy and seamless for our first time out. Our freezer is now full of walleye and a single perch!

    Rebeccah, it was so good to have you and your family join us. I’m glad we could fulfill young Emmett‘s dream and get him on some beautiful Walleye! We look forward to the next time you can join forces with us until then be blessed and safe and eat a lot of Walleye!

    7 Hour Morning Walleye Trolling6 adults1 child

    We went as first timers all 3 generations! Kenny was so experienced and willing to share his knowledge of fishing, lay of the lake, and how he strategized to make sure we got our limit. He showed that we was over plenty of fish and doing ok, but, he felt he needed to make a change in our direction and angle to do even better and went to what he called the relaxed fish and “bam” once he did that the action got a lot faster! This was due to his lifelong experience on this lake! 69lbs of Walleye prepped and ready to eat! Special thanks to First Mate Chance as well! Don’t hesitate do book the Preacher!

    Response from Captain

    What a great crew!! MIKE and his family, were the best and eager to learn! They had a great time we enjoyed having them. Sounds like they’re coming back again next year! We love, fantastic families, and great customers, and the Zurface family was exactly that!

    Great day on the water!

    7 Hour Morning Walleye Casting6 adults

    Captain and First Mate were great. Captain was friendly and very knowledgeable. Fishing was tough for most of the day, but after a few moves we got on some good fishing for the last couple hours or so. The weather wasnt ideal for drifting and casting so no fault on the Captain for slow fishing he had us on fish all day they just werent biting and we had wanted to cast instead of trolling. Overall good time and experience, would absolutely recommend to somebody looking for a walleye charter and may sign up for a trolling charter with Captain Ken in the future.

    Response from Captain

    it was great having James’ crew on the boat for a casting adventure on a tough no wind day! Look forward to the next time these fisherman join us on “Preacher”

    Fun family fishing trip for the men and ladies (bathroom on board!)

    7 Hour Executive Package6 adults

    My husband booked this charter knowing a large boat with a clean bathroom, under boat living area and overhead sun cover would make a day of fishing with his wife and daughter-in-law comfortable. The captain and first mate were knowledgeable and personable. We caught the maximum fish and even the new anglers found it enjoyable. We had 8 people on board, and it did not feel crowded--plenty of comfortable seating. The lake was rather rough, so the larger boat size was a huge plus. We would book this charter again.
