Jay ensures your time on the water is convenient too—with a portable toilet on board, you can stay focused on fishing without making unnecessary stops.
Spring and summer trips focus on targeting the prized Walleye, known for its fight and incredible flavor. Capt. Jay specializes in trolling techniques that maximize your odds of hooking a limit.

I’ve fished with Jason for years, and he’s hands down one of the most experienced and knowledgeable fishermen I’ve met. He knows exactly where the fish are and how to reel them in. If you want a fun day on the water and a cooler full of fish, Jason is the guy to call.
