Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 19, 2025
My son, husband and I had a great time with Zack. This was our first experience with a fishing charter and he was very personable and polite. His boat was very comfortable, clean and well equipped with fishing gear. Being from the Great Lakes region, Zack taught us the differences between fresh water and salt water fishing techniques. He was very knowledgeable about the types of fish we caught and found multiple successful fishing spots for us. He was very personable and relatable to each one of us and conversation flowed freely. We would recommend Zack as your fishing captain.

A friend of mine recommended Landing Zone so we booked a trip, and from the very beginning we had the best time! Captain Zack is a very friendly outgoing guy and makes everyone comfortable no matter what your experience level is. The weather was excellent, the ship and the gear is practically new… and Captain Zack knows where the fish are. This was hands down the absolute best trip I’ve had in years. I can’t recommend this guy and his chatter enough! Thanks Zack for a great time - we’ll be back soon!

Have never fished in anything but lakes, Zack was extremely knowledgeable AND PATIENT. He was full of southern charm right down to his accent. Was a great day of fishing and even stopped for a bit of fun and swimming at a sandbar he recommended. Will DEFINITELY book him again!
