Captain Brad worked his butt off the whole trip and knows what to do. We started off slow and by the end of the trip it was one fish after another. Once warmed up 4 pounders seemed to be the bottom. Brad was constantly doing the subtle things that get the fish on. All equipment ready to fish and has the right stuff. Thank you!!

Old or young, you’re bound to have a great fishing trip with Captain Brad! We had a great fishing trip and everyone got the chance to reel one in. If you’re in Lake Tahoe, I would highly recommend doing a fishing trip with Captain Brad. The views, the fishing, and even his boat snacks just can’t be beat.

Captain Brad was awesome! He was friendly, patient and informative. His boat and equipment are nice, new and clean. We had our first bite 10 minutes into the day. We had our first 2 fish on the boat within 30 minutes of leaving the dock. Finished the day with 14 Mackinaw.

Capt. Brad is an awesome guide! I went with my sons age 11 and 13 and he made it a fantastic trip for us. We caught fish and got to go swimming in the lake to cool off. I couldn’t ask for a better Captain and would highly recommend him. First class.

Great time with Captain Brad on Lake Tahoe chasing Mackinaw Trout. Captain Brad worked his tail off to find the fish for us. Weather was fantastic and we learned a lot about fishing techniques on Lake Tahoe. Highly recommend Captain Brad Bugica if looking for a great day on the lake.
