if you fish the first time on Lake Tahoe , be prepared to haul fish up from 100feet plus. can be quite a workout, but well worth the effort.

Bring/take motion sickness medicine beforehand just in case. Once seasickness hits, it lasts all day long. Better safe than sorry so you can enjoy your whole trip.

The guide was exceptional and attentive. He helps where needed and isn’t upset when a reel gets a snag or lure snags. he’s calm.

Captain Ron and his mate were excellent. He was put us on fish within 20 minutes and that continued throughout the trip. The mate was always there to rebait and help with problems. we were late to the boat but the Captain did not rush back in and made sure we fished 6 hours. I looking forward to booking with him again

The weather was immaculate in May. However, many of the prized tuna that everyone desires are more probable to be caught in the July and August timeframe when the water is warmer.

Fishing was slow this day. Hooked a lot of halibut but had to release because they weren't of legal size.

We were there the last Saturday in April, so it was a bit chilly and it rained on us for about 45 minutes. There we definitely fish biting, but the biggest thing I would recommend is to layer up! Bring a hat and gloves, and even if there is a layer of clouds put sunscreen on. It was cloudy for us the entire time and everyone still got at least a little sunburnt; some more than others.
