We had a vacation in Lake Taho and booked a trip with Brad! He is really knowledgeable and was able to put us in different spots. My kids were able to experience catching fish on their own and we all learned a lot! He even cleaned our catch after the trip. Looking forward to booking a trip with him again!

The boat was well maintained and clean. We all enjoyed the trip and were able to catch fish! Brad worked very hard to provide us with a great time out in Lake Tahoe! Even the fishing gear was all in top shape. Highly recommended! Thank you Captain for the awesome trip!

Right after we left the dock, a few minutes after, we already caught some nice fish! Went on the trip with my sons and we all enjoyed our time with Captain Brad! It was really worth joining a trip we highly recommend him!
