The highlight of this experience was watching Captain Doug and his mate, Ken, work seamlessly together—it was impressive to see them manage 18 lines so efficiently. Captain Doug did an excellent job keeping us on the fish, while Ken worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a great time, even excelling at netting our catches. As someone who owns a boat in Montana and often takes others fishing, I truly appreciate the effort it takes to stay on active fish, and they executed this superbly. I’m also grateful for the excellent communication leading up to the trip, ensuring we got out on the water before the rain. There’s not much I’d change, aside from my wife beating me for the biggest catch of the day! I’m already planning to bring my two grandkids up next June to experience this themselves. We ended the day with 25 walleye and two perch—perfect for a fish fry tonight. Thank you both for an unforgettable time!

Captain Doug was ready to hit the water the moment we arrived, and First Mate Ken was already aboard and prepared. Watching the two of them work together was truly impressive. Throughout the day, I kept asking about the terms they were using, and they patiently explained everything without hesitation. The entire experience was absolutely AMAZING! We reached our limit of fish and headed back, but the trip didn’t end there. While cleaning our incredible catch, they showed us the best way to freeze the fish to preserve their fresh flavor. They even shared some delicious recipes that I’m excited to try! It was clear from the start that both Captain Doug and First Mate Ken are passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time—and we absolutely did! Thank you both for such an unforgettable day! We’ll definitely be back. This charter deserves a 10-star rating!

We went on our first charter boat trip as a family, with my wife and two teenage boys. Captain Doug and Ken were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything, ensuring the fishing trip went smoothly from start to finish. Although it was a hot August afternoon and the beginning of the trip was slow, Captain Doug skillfully circled around and found a few productive spots. By the end, we caught 16 walleyes, including a 26.5-inch one, 2 perch, 1 catfish, and several sheephead that we released, even though they were a fun challenge to reel in. We were very satisfied with the experience and I highly recommend this charter!

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!!
