Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 31, 2025
What a memorable day! Our family took my 92-year-old dad—also our grandpa—out for a Walleye trolling trip on Lake Erie. It was likely his last time on the lake he’s cherished for so many years. Huge thanks to Captain Mike and the crew for making it a successful and meaningful experience!
