Hunter is a great young man. Very knowledgeable about lake sakakawea and managed to help with a great catch for me and my son even after post storm conditions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Eric Richins and it was a great experience! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He was also great with my kids, taking time to explain the basics of fishing and answering all their questions. I had a wonderful day on the water and caught some fish too! I highly recommend Captain Eric Richins for any fishing trip; you won't be disappointed!
