Had to postpone do to rough seas but thought it was worth a review

8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 5)5 adults2 children

We were headed out about 17 miles, after bouncing on 2-4 foot, and growing, waves for10 miles the captain made the wise decision to postpone for better weather and safer conditions. We returned to shore and rescheduled. I offered to pay something for the effort, but the captain refused. Benny (captain) and Tom (first mate) are experienced seamen and great people, and we are looking forward to our rescheduled trip later this month.

    Swell Time Charters are the best!!

    8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 6) • 6 adults

    Captain Benny and first Mate Tom were amazing! Very accommodating!! The weather prevented us from going on our scheduled time so rather than cancel the trip, Captain Benny moved his schedule and we had the best conditions for fishing ever! The Walleye were plentiful and seemed larger than last year! We had a blast! Many thanks from our family!

    8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 4) • 3 adults

    Captain and first mate were amazing! Gear was spot on. Caught our limit of Walleye. Got a late start with the weather, but still made it back to the docks before lunch. Brought my teen kids fishing and the crew was patient. The trip was a success!

    Family outing

    8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 4) • 4 adults • 2 children

    My husband and I took out two teenage boys out for a new experience and this did not disappoint. Captain Ben and Tom were masterful fishermen. They had us on the water by 6:30am and limited out by 9:30. We all had a great time. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a unique and professional fishing experience.

    Response from Captain

    Cara thank you for choosing us we had a blast and it was a pleasure meeting your family. The boys did an impressive job fishing. Take care.

    Captain Benny was great!

    8 Hour Trip – Walleye (MAX 6) • 6 adults

    Weather caused us to reschedule our initial trip, but Captain Benny worked with me to find another date that worked out great. Caught our limit in 2 hours! Highly recommended him and would definitely use him again in the future!
