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.

Great trip, got plenty of large Lake Trout and some very fun Smallmouth Bass that were very fun and was in my son’s bucket list of fish to catch. Captain was great, knew right where to take us to hook plenty of fish, would definitely book again.

An exceptional captain, a wonderful host, and an even more remarkable individual. Spending time with Captain Scott was an absolute delight – a sentiment that holds true even without the thrill of catching some impressive Lake Trout! I highly, highly recommend the experience.
