Ratings & Reviews Summary

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Brad on Boyd Lake. He immediately got us on the fish, and within minutes my son was pulling up walleye. Brad’s knowledge of the lake, the species, and the weather was very helpful. His boat is perfectly equipped to help us scout out areas to see if there are even fish to target. You can tell he enjoys what he does, he enjoys helping you have a good time, and that he enjoys the thrill of the chase! We’ll definitely be back when we make it out this way again.

Brad was a blast to go fishing with. He showed me how to fish using a bottom bouncer, and we were successful in catching walleye, white bass, bluegill, and wild trout. I'd unquestionably go fishing with him again.
