Hired captain Scott to take my son out fishing (while my husband and I tagged along for the boat ride). We all had an excellent time! My son can't wait to go again with Captain Scott next year!

5 hours of excellent nonstop jigging for lake trout. Captain Thurber put me onto fish immediately. Caught too many to count and left them biting.

Among the three of us, we caught more than I can recall—around 15-17 fish in just over 4 hours. It was an incredible trip, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thanks, Scott! It was fantastic seeing my dad reel in a couple!

We had our first ever charter trip on Lake Champlain and it was a fantastic experience! Despite the chilly weather, the sunny morning and calm water made it really enjoyable. Captain Scott was an excellent guide - friendly, helpful, and always encouraging. Thanks to him, we had an absolute blast out on the lake. A huge thank you to Scott for an unforgettable day!

I had an awesome time with Scott as our guide on Lake Champlain! He was a great guy and really made the trip a success. Even when we encountered some storms, he was able to accommodate us and be flexible. He knew so much about the lake, the fish, and the best techniques to use. Plus, his boat had plenty of room and top-notch equipment. We kept moving until we found the perfect spot to catch some fish and using the fish finder was a blast. Scott was really fun to be around too, so the whole trip was a blast. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing experience on Lake Champlain. I'm already looking forward to booking another trip with him!

Had an amazing time fishing with Scott. I had not been fishing in many yrs and Scott was very helpful. We caught a 12lbs lake trout and a few 8lbs ones. The fish tasted so good. The boat was clean. Equipped for all kinds of fishing. I highly recommend fishing with Scott.
