What a fabulous day fishing with Capt. JJ "Seeing Red Charters"! A Captain that works hard to make your fishing day the BEST. Limited out on beautiful yellow perch today and went out trolling for walleye and what an amazing experience. Being a novice with trolling Capt. JJ was wonderful giving a crash 101 course trolling for walleye. The knowledge of trolling for walleye that he has is 5 stars, and of course we limited out on walleye, and we got some awesome big walleye. A day to put in the memory books! Thank you, Capt. JJ you are, all about making people have the BEST fishing experience of a lifetime, and we thank you. 😁💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
