Today we had an absolutely fantastic day fishing with Captain Scott Thurber. I caught my limit, 3 beautiful Lake Trout, all in the double digits. My family also caught some very sizable fish as well. If you are looking to have an amazing fishing experience with family and friends, book a charter with Captain Scott aboard the Irish Raider. He definitely knows what he's doing and will go out of his way to see to it that you catch fish and enjoy the day!

I had an awesome time with Scott as our guide on Lake Champlain! He was a great guy and really made the trip a success. Even when we encountered some storms, he was able to accommodate us and be flexible. He knew so much about the lake, the fish, and the best techniques to use. Plus, his boat had plenty of room and top-notch equipment. We kept moving until we found the perfect spot to catch some fish and using the fish finder was a blast. Scott was really fun to be around too, so the whole trip was a blast. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing experience on Lake Champlain. I'm already looking forward to booking another trip with him!

An exceptional captain, a wonderful host, and an even more remarkable individual. Spending time with Captain Scott was an absolute delight – a sentiment that holds true even without the thrill of catching some impressive Lake Trout! I highly, highly recommend the experience.
