Testimonials
"We’ve gone out with Captain Marty and crew a few different times and it’s always been an outstanding experience! This man knows how to catch fish on the big lake! Marty is so knowledgeable and fun; a really great guy to spend a day with. The boat is very nice and super clean (with a bathroom)! We hope to get out again this year with the Happy Hooker IV."

"Our family had an amazing trip with Marty and Jacob. Marty made sure we caught a lot of fish. When things got slow, he just rang the bell and the fish jumped on the line!! Had 12 trout that we were able to take home and one was big enough to have mounted. Definitely recommend this first-class operation!!"
Kim Well Nixon
"I highly recommend Captain Marty and Matt for a charter. We’ve been out with them twice last year with the kids and this year with adults. They cater to all ages and are professional (and a lot of fun)!! It’s going to be a yearly tradition, going forward, to visit these great guys."
