Testimonials

"I have been on multiple Green Bay trips with Captain Butch the past several years. Butch always works hard to put us on the Fish! I have caught many “eater” walleye along with some of my personal best, while fishing with Butch. His passion for catching Walleye is truly contagious. I have learned a lot from him. Butch’s boat and equipment are always immaculate. I can always count on a safe and enjoyable day fishing with Captain Butch! I look forward to future trips with him."
