We got off to a strong start, landing a solid salmon within the first 15 minutes and another soon after. Things slowed down later, but the captain worked hard and even gave us an extra hour on the water. The weather was perfect, and the captain, crew, and boat were all great. If I make it back to Kenosha to fish again, I’d book this boat without hesitation.

We booked a charter fishing trip with captain Ben Johnson in June of 2025, and he went above and beyond all expectations. Lots of knowledge, and just a great captain and crew to be around. We hope to book another charter with him again in August. Would definitely recommend to all friends and family!

Ryon guided a group of us on Lake Gogebic on February 28, 2025. He went above and beyond to ensure that we as clients were on fish. He provided the equipment, the knowledge, and a welcoming environment. In less-than-ideal conditions, we still managed to do extremely well that day. Winds at 40 mph plus and sleeting/snowing like crazy we stayed comfortable and warm in the tent that Ryon provided. Very knowledgeable. Very hardworking. Overall, a great experience and a great guy to spend time with!

We had a great time ice fishing with Ryan. He provided all the gear and bait. We used tip-ups, tip-downs and jigging rods. He set up a huge insulated pop-up shelter with a heater. The fish were biting good early but then the weather changed and the biting slowed down. We caught walleye, Northern and perch. We kept enough walleye for a couple meals. So tasty. Good memories!
