Captain Doug and First mate Ron were exceptionally knowledgeable about fishing for walleyes! I had never fished with planer boards before, but I learned fast. I fish for walleyes all the time in my home state of SD. They put us on fish and worked hard to make sure we caught our limit. Then afterward, they cleaned our fish very well. They are all around personable and excellent fisherman!! I would definitely book with them again!!
