Captain Matt and his Cap in training Josh were both a good time to be around. Matt Kept us on the fish the entire 5 hours! I can’t say enough great things about these guys. We definitely had the time of our life out there and can’t wait to come back and do it again!! Thank you guys!!

Matt and Josh are fantastic guides. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a successful fishing trip. We landed 4 fish and lost 1. As first-timers fishing for Great Lakes salmon, we were really pleased with the experience. We’re definitely planning to fish with them again.

Matt and Josh were outstanding. Matt mentioned that fishing had been challenging recently, but he and Josh went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t leave empty-handed—and they succeeded. They were always on the move, switching up lures, trying new spots, and experimenting with different techniques. These guys deliver everything you want in a fishing charter experience! Thanks again, guys—see you next year!
