We had a fantastic trip.  Captain Respecki and his son James (our mate), we’re courteous, efficient and extremely effective in allowing us to catch our limit of Walleye in a remarkably short period of time.  Both the Captain and his son were great with my 8 year old grandson. The boat was clean and well maintained.  The Captain made contact with me the day before our trip and we decided to leave the departure area earlier than planned.  We had a beautiful sunrise on the water and were on the way to catching our limit of Walleye as the sun rose.  They knew where the fish were and I couldn’t have asked for a better fishing experience.

Jamie definitely knows the lake as we caught plenty of walleye on this trip.  He knew exactly where to go and what to use to get fish in the boat immediately.  His well outfitted boat accommodated the 5 of us nicely,  A friendly and personable captain such as he makes it all the more enjoyable.  His expertise continued even after the trip as he cleaned and filleted all our fish quickly.  I highly recommend Riptide for both seasoned anglers as well as novices.

Riptide with Captain Jamie was a great experience!  Can’t imagine a better day.  Jamie and his son James are amazing and made everything easy and enjoyable for our family.  They are incredibly knowledgeable and patient and made it awesome for our kids.  Can’t say enough about what a great job Jamie did.  We caught over 20 fish and had a blast even though we had never been on a fishing boat and were clueless at first.  Jamie and his first mate James took care of EVERYTHING and made us feel comfortable the entire way.  My son and daughter had never fished and they had the time of their lives.  What a day to remember.  The pictures of them holding the Walleye they caught and beaming with pride are what it’s all about.  Thank you so much, Jamie, for treating us as friends. We will be back with you next summer.

This was our first ever walleye charter on Lake Erie. Our captain Jamie has a well equipped boat with many rods available. Jamie and his son James worked hard the entire trip to catch fish and made changes to his spread when the bite was slow and it worked. At one time we had 3 walleyes on at once. He always has at least 12 to 14 lines out and covers the full water column with his various rigs. We caught one very big walleye and many other good size ones. We were working on our third and final limit when the sun went down and we had to head in. The sunset on Erie was spectacular. Hard working personable captain who we won’t hesitate to hire again!

We had a great time with Captain Jamie and James. Crew was very knowledge and fun! We had a fish in the livewell before sunrise! 100% recommend them to captain your fishing trip. They won’t disappoint. We can’t wait to fish with them again!
