The trip is great! Kurt and his dad are very welcoming and do a great job of making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We went on the bass trip and caught 25 between the 4 of us. Most of them were TANKS. A 5 pounder was caught as well. Very recommended for a family or group of friends. Musky trip next !

A wonderful trip. My Florida and Washington visitors were very impressed. Muskie fishing with Captain Kurt rivaled salt water fishing they had experienced. They are already talking about another trip next summer. I recommend this trip highly.

Kurt and his Dad were great guides. Very personable and worked really hard for us to have a successful day. The first day was hard fishing with the wind. We did not catch but a couple of fish but not do to their lack of trying. Somedays it is indeed fishing not catching. Our second day made up to it. We caught 3 muskies and 5 small mouth, lots of perch and a nice walleye....
