Our first walleye fishing experience with Captain Joe and first mate Ryan was outstanding. They are professional, experienced anglers who truly cared about our success on the water. Plus, the fish we caught tasted great!

We had scheduled an afternoon trip with perfect weather in the forecast. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had different ideas, and Joe called me beforehand to warn about potential issues. However, he made the most of the situation, and we ended up catching multiple species and having a fantastic time. We definitely plan on returning! I would highly recommend this charter to anyone. Thanks again to Joe and Ryan!

Captain Joe and his first mate were fantastic. Captain Joe offered excellent advice, guided us to the Perch, and we had a great catch. This trip was unforgettable for three college friends who have stayed close over the years. We enjoyed it so much that we're looking forward to booking with Reel Runner Charters again for the Walleye season.
