 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Captain Rich is the man. Works super hard to put you on fish regardless of how difficult the fishing is. We went in the slow season for bass, fishing deep water. Rich still put us on a lot of fish and we caught a lot of really nice bass and pike. He’s a great coach and you will leave a better fisherman. Whatever you think you know, Rich knows more. Would definitely fish with him again. He gives 110% effort to finding fish and helping you catch them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Capt. Rich was amazing! We had a wonderful day of fishing and limited out on fish caught! If you go with Sign Man Charters, Capt. Rich doesn't disappoint! He will teach you how to catch! He has a great sense of humor and everything we needed! Capt. Rich also cut and cleaned our fish in record time! We added the lunch food basket and it was great!  We look forward to our next excursion! We recommend the full day charter! Excellent!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We just finished up yesterday (7/15/24) and had an awesome time.  Forget what you think you know, listen to Capt. Rich, and you'll do well.  You could probably go to any guide to catch quantity, but if you're looking for big, heavy bass and pike, (and musky, although that wasn't our target species) Rich is the guy.  There is no substitute for his experience on the St. Lawrence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Captain Rich is the most experienced and successful fishing guide on the River.  He studies fish like Einstein studied space and time.  And ... if you can persuade him to cook up a shore dinner, you are in for the treat of a lifetime.
