This was the first time my wife and I fished for Walleye, or anything in on of the Great Lakes.  We are Gulf Coast saltwater fishers.  Captain Jamie Respecki put us on the fish in short order.  There was a little chop to the water and a it was a little bumpy on the way out, but trolling back with the waves was pretty smooth. The boat was set up for this kind of fishing with planer boards, downriggers, and Dipsy-Diver rigs. We caught three limits well withing the time for our half-day evening trip.  Captain Jamie has fished these waters all his life and it shows. 
Since we are from Houston, Texas, the only challenge we had was getting the fillets home.  Captain Jamie was kind enough to freeze the fish overnight for us, which we picked up in the morning on our way out of town. We found a place in Cleveland (our next destination on our trip) that packed them in dry ice in a heavy styrofoam shipping container.  We were going to overnight them home with FedEx, but since it was Saturday on Labor Day weekend, they would get home until Tuesday.  We ended up keeping them frozen with ice on top and buying a small soft-side cooler with a hard insert and a air-tight, leak proof lid (Titan by Arctic Zone) and some reusable ice packs.  The hotel froze our ice packs for us the night before we flew home from Indianapolis, and we just checked the cooler as a piece of luggage.  They made it home just fine with no hassles from the airport. 
Overall, a near perfect trip.

Captain Jamie is an expert and a great guy. Left the dock on time and got way out there to a prime spot in no time. Following his direction, we all limited out and had an absolutely awesome evening! Highly recommend!

This fishing trip was amazing!!!  Awesome captain and mate.  The captain was very knowledgeable, helpful and personable… the best of everything! My husband is a fisherman and hunter, me…not! Jamie was very helpful and even was able give my husband insight to new things. He said this was THE best experience he has had! Highly recommended!!!  We will be back!

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.
