  Great Family Friendly Trip.

  3 Hour Trip - 11:00 AM on May 25, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  We booked a 3 hour fishing trip on one of our vacation days. Captain Justin was super friendly and easy going, and really patient with our 3 kids. He showed them how to use the reels, and was unbothered about endlessly getting their hooks unstuck from trees. The kids caught 3 fish, definitely the largest they have caught. We got a little history and info about the lake, and some recommendations for local ice cream and popcorn after! The kids learned how to hold the fish and how to gently release them back to the water. It was a relaxing family experience. We plan on doing again.

  Great Trip

  5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on September 17, 2026 • 1 adult

  Capt. Dylan put me on the small mouth. Very good 20 ft boat with a large live view sonar. Watch your lure go down to the fish and it will change your experience about how fish react to your bait. Dylan was great to talk with and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

  Fun for everyone!

  3 Hour Trip - 11:00 AM on June 9, 2026 • 4 adults

  Justin is an awesome guide. He’s a great teacher and very enthusiastic about the outdoors. He seemed excited for us when we’d catch a fish. Start to finish, everything was top notch. Excellent communication, the boat was perfect, and we caught a bunch of fish. Also, the lakes are stunning. Justin was able to give us information about the area as well as the different fish. Would definitely book him again.

  Will do it again!

  5 Hour Trip on July 2, 2026 • 5 adults

  My two kids went out fishing with Dylan and they had the best time. They both caught fish and he made it a fun day. They both had nothing but great things to say and my son who is 19 said he wants to go out again next time we are in town. I communicated with Justin a few times prior to the trip and he was so responsive. Thank you both very much!

  Great family fun!

  3 Hour Trip on August 5, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captian Dylan was very knowledgeable and great with our teenage kids. We all caught small mouth bass - one 20”! The equipment was easy to use and well cared for. The three hours flew by - even my daughter who wasn’t excited about fishing had a good time. Highly recommend. We will book again!
