Captain Ted of Crooked Creek Charters gave us an unforgettable experience! My kids and I had an absolute blast out on the water and caught a ton of fish. What truly set this trip apart was Captain Ted’s knowledge and approach — he didn’t just bait hooks and reel in lines for us. He actually took the time to teach and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and fun to learn. You walk away not only with a cooler full of fish, but with skills and confidence to go again.

His boat is top-notch — clean, comfortable, and fully equipped — and it’s clear he leaves no stone unturned to make the trip as smooth and successful as possible. To top it all off, he took the time at the end of the charter to capture a stunning sunset photo of our group. It was the perfect ending to an already incredible day.

If you’re looking for a fishing trip that’s both exciting and educational, look no further. Captain Ted is the real deal. We’ll definitely be back!

The half day charter was all we needed. 30 walleye caught and Ted even cleaned the fish on the way back to the dock. The boat was very clean and had everything we needed. He has a system and it very efficient. Would recommend this charter for any age.

Our family had a great time fishing with Captain Ted! We braved the weather and ended up catching our limit. Captain Ted was personable, professional, efficient, and right on the fish! Thank you for a great day!

Vibes and conditions were immaculate, captain Ted made the trip one to remember.  Guided us to hit the limit and cleaned the fish perfectly for us, 100% coming back for another round and would recommend to anyone.

We had a great trip.  Captain was very friendly and knowledgeable.  The boat was very clean and well taken care of. The captain was great with my kids.  We really enjoyed the trip.  Can’t wait to go out again next year.
