Originally booked Originator 2 on the river for my 14 year old son and myself, it was a little cheaper, and we have other charters planned for later in the summer and fall. Received a phone call the afternoon before and was told the river fishing was bad, it was too hot, and wouldn’t be worth our time. Tentatively i decided to upgrade to the lake fishing and i couldn’t have been more happy with the decision. The 3:30 wake up call wasn’t amazing but the fishing was great. We had 2 fish in the boat before sunrise. The captain knew where to find the fish, and we didn’t have to spend a hour driving far out into the lake to find them. The first mate was very helpful, and kept good conversation with my son. Both of them worked hard to stay on the fish and land them. We were on fish most of the morning, only caught 6 but we had 15 on. The boat was great; large (which helped with the waves), bathroom was clean, the back was large enough for all 4 of us to work at the same time. The dock was easy to find and also clean. If we come back to these parts i will 100% be booking here again. We grilled some of the catch at home for dinner, and will be taking the rest back to Ohio for the 4th of July celebration.
