Captain Bill took my son and I on a 3 hour at Lake Toho. We had a great time and caught some great bass. If you’re in the area and want to catch big bass I would definitely give him a call!

We had a wonderful fishing experience with Capt Steve Niemoeller! We went out for a 4 hour pontoon boat fishing trip at lake Toho. Capt Steve is a bass master and super knowledgeable! We caught 15-16 fish between 4 of us. They were all the largest bass we ever caught. We had a great time and would go back!

Captain Steve was the best guide. He was patient, kind, and knew all the best spots. We can’t wait to join him again soon.

Fishing the Headwaters
Capt Paul Was very knowledgeable about the headwaters, and instructed us about the best methods used to catch Bass with live bait. We caught ten Bass during our afternoon charter and had an enjoyable day. My friend and I would recommend Capt Paul for your next charter. J Cattell

Second time I have fished with Captain Bill Goudy Jr. He did an incredible job putting me on a pile of fish on Headwaters Lake on an unseasonably cold day. Caught 56! large mouth bass. Already planning my next trip with Captain Bill.

Fished with Captain Galen on Lake Toho. Even though conditions were tough we had a great time. Galen worked hard to put us on fish and was easy to share stories with during slow times. Definitely going back next year.
