We’re very hands on and will show the beginner the proper technique on the dock before we even step in the boat so you have a GREAT grasp of what to do, when it’s time to do it. We want you to be successful! Step by step hands on instruction for the newbie!
We run quality equipment to ensure you have the BEST chance at feeling that walleye THUMP that will become an addiction to you. The more you feel that thump, more you’ll want it. Guaranteed!
Let me EARN your trust and your business and show you how much fun that river can be. YOU are my top priority when you step onto my boat. Your happiness and complete satisfaction mean everything to me. I always try to go above and beyond to make your trip memorable, enjoyable, and as much fun as I possibly can!

Last fishing trip of the year was yesterday. Officially
We made the last trip count with a solid 12 hours on the water with lines in the lake. I had a blast out there (as always) and could have stayed out longer!! Nothing I like more than being on that boat!!!

Karrie and I made a run for the Michigan waters of Lake Erie and launched out of Bolles Harbor. We fished from 2am Thursday morning until 2pm Thursday afternoon searching for the walleye that would win us some cash (or a boat) and never found it. But, we did find 12 really REALLY nice walleye that wanted to come home for dinner with us 😉
I wanted to make this post yesterday but after being awake for over 36 hours straight I decided to wait until this morning hahah.
We had an absolute riot out there as we always do and can’t wait to get back at it in 2025!!
Now to break out the small boat and fun fish some local lakes until the ice tells me I can’t.

Hope to see you all at the fishing shows this winter! Stop me and say hi!!!
