With Wade at the helm, anglers enjoy more than just a day on the water—they gain access to expert knowledge, premium gear, and a boat rigged for serious fishing.

Beyond the action, Wade offers hands-on learning and personalized support, whether you want to actively fish or relax and watch. The service includes filleting your catch, making the journey from boat to dinner seamless. This level of care and expertise has earned Wade glowing reviews from visiting anglers who appreciate both the technical proficiency and warm, easygoing approach.
