Nor-Cal Charters

Had an awesome day of fishing with Captain Mike on his boat the ‘Tight Lines’. Loved his positive energy and his willingness to make sure we all had a good time and catch a lot of fish. The day started out wondering if we should go out due to high wind advisory, we rolled the dice and it was a perfect day on the lake with just a little wind. I caught my limit of Mackinaw with the last fish putting up a nice fight. One constructive criticism, if you are going to have a portable bathroom, please clean it.

Great morning fishing with Captain Mike! We had fresh fish to eat for three days. They even clean the fish for you right there on the boat. Highly recommend!

Fishing was our top priority while in Tahoe. I did my research before arrival and was handed a flyer by our concierge for Nor-​Cal Charters. I checked reviews and off we went. Captain Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and where to find the fish. The boat was perfect, not too big and not too small, with a covered area to hide from any inclement weather. The boat was very clean and refreshments were provided for the boat, the Kit Kats are his :-). I only wish we’d have booked for the entire day… next time! I highly recommend Captain Andrew and Nor-​Cal Charters. You’ll enjoy the fishing and his amusing stories.

If you want to have a great day fishing, then there is no doubt Nor_​Cal charters is the place to be. Andrew is wonderful to work with and will call the night before to confirm. Capt. Mike was just fantastic. We had our limit in an hour and then went looking for big ones! My kind of day. I would fish with them anytime. THANK you Andrew and Mike for such a great experience.

Growing up in Vermont I’ve done my share of fishing for lake trout. When booking a trip I had expectations like every fisherman that we might catch one or two and that would be a good day for me, but it ended up being a different story. As soon as we got to the fishing grounds my wife instantly caught a fish and in a hour and half three of us had our limits. I have gone on other small charters and can say this is the best I’ve been on. Capt. Andrew will put you on the fish and keep you entertained with his stories. He is very professional and knows exactly what he’s doing. I’ve already started recommending him to family and friends on the east coast coming out and everyone I know going to Lake Tahoe for vacation.

Going out with Nor-​Cal on Lake Tahoe was probably the most fun fishing I have ever had. I took my father in-​law out and we couldn’t stop talking about how fun it was for the next two days. Andrew was professional yet personable. He handled all the dirty work for us, and kept us entertained with some good fish stories. He knew just the spots to go and when to move to find more fish. Each of us limited on mackinaw and they weren’t small. All in all it was a great experience and I have already recommended it to about 4 friends.

Captain Andrew and Mike were great! It was the day after Christmas, cold as could be, and we had a terrific and successful fishing trip! Thanks, Captain! Richard Gire

Excellent way to spend half a day in Tahoe, and that’s saying a lot since we got up at 4am for the 6am charter. Captain Andrew has tremendous energy, is very personable, and most importantly he got us on the fish! The fresh caught salmon made an amazing dinner that night. Best part of a great trip. I will happily charter with Andrew again if I get the chance to return.

I want to put in a good word for Andrew one of the captains for NorCal Charter in South Lake Tahoe. Andrew was very professional and personable as my husband and I enjoyed our one day fishing excursion on beautiful Lake Tahoe with Andrew and another couple. Andrew went out of his way to accommodate us fishing on a different day then originally scheduled with our Groupon deal because the original day turned out to be a rainy day with some lighting and since Friday Oct. 2^nd was going to be a beautiful day Andrew arranged for us to go out on Friday since that was our last day in Tahoe. Andrew has a great personality and very friendly as well as knowing how to captain the fishing charter. Between my husband and I we caught 4 12 to 14 inch lake trout. Andrew took us out to Emerald Bay which was beautiful and we felt like we were able to enjoy the fishing trip as well as the boat ride to Emerald Bay and back to the Cave Rock boat ramp on the Nevada side. I would highly recomend NorCal and catain Andrew for a enjoyable fishing experience on Lake Tahoe. Thanks Andrew! Bob and Charlene

My partner and I had a great time fishing on the lake. Andrew and his crew were incredibly skilled, helpful, and easy-​going. This was my first time sport fishing and Andrew made it very approachable. We caught 3 mackinaw, one of them was huge…18lbs. Beginner’s luck I guess. It was an awesome trip. Highly recommend it.

Andrew is a bad ass captain!
My husband and I took a morning fishing trip for our anniversary. We had a great time! He was easy to talk to, attentive, very knowledgable, humorous and helpful with showing us how to fish.
The charter was nice and clean. The charter has bathroom if needed. He had breakfast and beverages available… except for the Kit Kat (That was his)
We caught fish the first 5 minutes of arriving Emerald Bay. Then we caught even more. We pretty much caught our daily limit an hour before we had to return.
I highly recommend Captain Andrew and Nor Cal Charters! I think we’re scheduling another trip soon for more Kokanee Salmon!

Had a blast went out with captain Andrew caught our limit the boat wasn’t packed like all the other boats we passed by price was right also got 20% off at a local restraint who cooked our fish the captain was super chill an entertaining as well

We had a great time with Andrew. He was able to accommodate our family, including my young daughter as well her grandparents and even their dog. Andrew has a lot of knowledge about the lake and it was great to chat with him as we enjoyed our time being on the lake and fishing. Thanks!

Had a great time today out on the lake with captain Andrew. If your new to fishing, captain Andrew is very helpful and you’ll be fishing like a pro in no time. We enjoyed the scenery, caught a few mackinaw, and got along great with everyone on the boat. I reccomend bringing a few snacks, but I wouldn’t go crazy since there’s no bathroom aboard the boat. Great for friends and family. Looking forward to booking another charter in the future.

My wife set up an afternoon excursion with Andrew with this company. When we arrived at the ramp, he had the motor running and was ready to go. We ended up catching a couple good size mackinaw trout after about 4 hours out. Andrew was totally laid back and easy to talk to. Beverages and some snacks were provided at no additional cost including beer. After we caught our limit, he was kind enough to clean them for us and refer us to a local restaurant that would cook them up for us. All in all, it was an excellent experience and I will be sure to do it again on our next trip to Tahoe!

Captain Andrew is a great fisherman and he also has the biggest charter boat on the south side of the lake — plenty of room for all of your friends and a few cases of beer. We caught 4 Mackinaw trout before noon and had fun doing it! We will definitely be going again.

First off I cant believe I am the first one to review this charter. A big shout out to Capt. Andrew for breaking me and my buddy Isaac out of a horrible fishing streak of not catching a single thing. (not even a bite!) We took a last minute trip to Tahoe with some friends. I got the idea of getting a charter since I have never fished in Lake Tahoe before. We searched probably every different charter in the area. There were a few that seemed pretty good, but Nor-​Cal Charter stood out. We talked to Capt. Andrew. He is a super chill guy and knows what he is talking about. The 5 hours we spent on the boat seemed like 2. We had such a great time. I am an avid fisherman and have been fishing my whole life from fly to lakes from ocean piers to the surf but fishing with Nor-​Cal charter was one of the most fun times I have had in awhile fishing. I’m sure that every time you go your not going to catch something, fishing isn’t a guarantee. If you want to have a good time, hang out with some cool knowledgeable fisherman, and have the highest possibility of catching something then choose Nor-​Cal Charters.
