Departure times vary from season to season, and when the best fishing will be. The Captain will let you know prior to your fishing date.

We fish. Sometimes the fishing is better in the rain. Our boats are heated and enclosed, so we can fish in comfort. Of course if the lake is “rough,” we will reschedule or delay our starting time.

I accept payment in all forms: cash, check, Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express.
