Catfishing has been very good drifting with cut bait. We are starting to get ready to start doing striper fishing casting jigs and don't forget the phenomenal shad fishery that will be coming up here in the next month will be excellent this year with big numbers with the river...

Left the dock this morning breaking ice to get out of the marina, hope I didn't wake the hood up in the process as it was loud. Made our way to the bridge and the shoaling is bad, reading as little as 6in under the props, not fun in the dark. Buddy fisjed north yesterday and never turned a rod so we made our way to the south hoping to land on the blackfin. We worked hard and covered the grounds but the bite was slow. We had the marks but they were deep and stayed deep, eventually they had to come up, but just not while we were there. Got a little beat up the first 20miles home into a stiff north wind, thankfully it laid down and we made good time. We spent a little time searching for deep water through the shoal but it wasn't to be found. Finished the ride home with a pretty sunset and cut the few fish we had. Great groups of guys and we had a good time. Weather will allow us to fish Thurs and Friday if we get enough guys to get the trip together. They're out there, just gotta stay on em.

What an awesome 1/2 day trip we had with Mike. It was my husband, me, and our 17-year-old son (who has high-functioning autism). Mike was awesome and explained everything very well. He kept taking us to different places until we landed some fish. It was an awesome experience.

It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

Thanks for the trip had fun and the first mate was awesome. He made sure the kids had fun and how to use all the equipment and educated everyone. The welds on the boat were spectacular. Captain took the time to talk with the kids and made it a great time. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the area. Thanks again Mark and Tom

Trip: Yellowfin & Mahi Mahi Combo
★★★★★
CPT John is a highly experience captain and fisherman who put us right on the tuna and tile fish. We landed 4 nice yellow fin and our limit of blue tile fish. Though he operated a smaller offshore boat, it performed perfectly and safely in 3-4 foot seas 30 miles offshore. He even dressed our fish upon return. I higjly recommend CPT John for any fishing excursion.

We had a memorable experience. While pre-ttip communication could have been better and the boat condition now versus photos on the website, we caught all we wanted. Good fun and Mate Tom was knowledgeable and accommodating.
