Ratings & Reviews Summary

Had a great time early on and managed to catch some during the heat of the day. Very informed and helpful captain! Fun was had by all!
December 21, 2024
Fantastic fishing morning on Lake Nottely. I caught about 20 stripers, weighing 2 to 12 pounds. There were many double-ups; at one time, we hooked up and landed four fish. When it came to getting the next bite, Justin was on his game, never remaining still and continually using new strategies. By 10 a.m., we had run out of bait, but we were still having success casting, jigging, and trolling. professional, knowledgeable, and on time. also a very nice yacht!

We're still grinning. Justin was excellent! We pulled in our best catch ever because to his careful attention to our comfort and consistent labor keeping baits on hooks. Our first of many journeys is now. You won't be dissatisfied!
