We caught a rare 40° July morning but had a great day on the water anyway. Capt. Justin is a pro that knows the lakes like he’s been fishing them his whole life - spoiler, he has. He is a real professional who managed our partially experienced crew with ease a got us a couple of firsts - pike - and PB’s. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Captain Justin was absolutely amazing.  He got us on the water quickly and was a joy to fish with. His knowledge about the region and wildlife made great conversations.  It felt like fishing with an old friend. His gear was top notch.  He knew exactly what baits would work and the T.F.O. rods were the right tool for the job.

Justin provided us with a trip that was well worth the money. Justin is extremely knowledgeable about fishing and the Adirondacks in general. He’s a full on Adirondack guide and his knowledge on the lake was all encompassing. Will definitely be booking more trips. Great time, great guide!!

Our family of four had so much fun. Could have never done any of this without such an experienced guide. Kids caught fish and had a great time, learned a lot too. Giant pike and two big bass, lots of lil ones too. We will be doing this again - highly recommend.

Justin is very knowledgeable and ensures that you catch fish and have a good time. We caught several fish on our trip and will definitely book a Charter with Playing Hooky in the future.
