Elizabeth Gressel5.0VerifiedGreat day depite poor weather!
4 Hour Trip on September 1, 2026 • 2 adultsA great morning on Lake George with Captain Rick and Mark. After booking, Captain Rick reached out to confirm our trip and followed up to discuss the forecasted rain. Despite the poor weather and whitecaps, we caught two lake trout within the first hour of our trip. When the bite slowed, Rick and Mark kept working hard, constantly reorienting the boat and using the radar to search for fish. They were friendly, upbeat, and a pleasure to spend the morning with. We appreciated their effort, professionalism, and dedication. We’ll gladly return for another trip on a day with better weather! 🎣
Bill O’Brien5.0VerifiedAwesome Day on the Lake
4 Hour Trip on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Rick and mate Mark are the best. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. We caught 13 fish and that was just an “ok day”. They are great teachers of fishing and by the end we were hooking our own. As my oldest son said “Im on” as he hooked his very own Lake Trout. I highly recomend and would definitely book again with Austin charters.

Had well over 20 bites and put 14 in the net . Catch and release . The boat and equipment are well maintained and parking onsite was great ! Highly recommend to any angler looking for a great experience.

4 Hour Trip on July 23, 2026 • 2 adultsBeen fishing on Lake George for decades. First time taking a charter. Exceeded expectations. Caught14 Lake trout. My daughter got a 32 inches.
Yulia Yan5.0VerifiedAmazing tour
4 Hour Trip on June 23, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 childrenThat was everything we could have wished for! My sons (9 and 11) had an unforgettable time—both got to reel in a fish and even take a turn “driving” the boat (which they’re still bragging about, lol). We all loved being out on the water and soaking in the beautiful lake views. Captain Rick was incredibly welcoming, responsive to our requests, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain each step, share his knowledge, and make sure we all felt involved. A perfect outing—we’d absolutely recommend it!
