    It was an excellent trip. We had fun and caught lots of fish. My two nephews loved it and are ready to go again. Skip was a very nice guy and certainly knows a lot about the variety of fish that exists in Lake Ida.

    Captain Craig was an excellent guide and has the heart of a teacher! He lead us to all the spots where fish were biting and taught my teenage son, who didn’t even want to come out, what a great time the outdoors can be. The entire CaptainExperiences.com was very easy and excellent communication all throughout the process. If anyone is on the fence they should just do it! Especially if you get a chance to book with Captain Craig!
