"If I ever have to rate the absolute best top ten fishing experiences, I must say that our venture out with Reel Addiction Charters made it to that list! I appreciated you going over every fishing rig to make sure that your gear remained in top shape, and that your boat was kept so clean and in such safe condition. The ladies on the boat felt comfortable, and anybody, be they oldsters or youngsters, would be well guided and confident, regardless of their fishing abilities. Your science teaching skills added a related and informative note, too. Even though there was a full moon the previous night and that the day was hot with no chop whatsoever on the surface you managed to put us right on top of the fish. You were also dead on about the fishing location, the boat speed, and the type of lures to use; by the time the sun set we caught 8 Chinook beauties, along with that fine 13 pound steelhead. Of course the 22 and 1/2 pound lunker chinook that I brought in made this charter trip a spectacular one! I fished the Pacific Ocean for salmon and have yet to experience this kind successful fishing as I did with you in Door County; although California is about 2,000 miles away, I now know it\\\'s worth it to travel the distance to experience such great sportfishing! Keep up the good work, Captain Tim; thank your wife Kathy for her \\\"first mate\\\" skills, too. Randy Moeller Morgan Hill, California "

"Thanks again for a wonderful morning of fishing! I was very impressed with your knowledge and professionalism. I was also impressed with the interaction your firstmate/deckhand, Willie, had with my son, Jason (age 11). Jason has caught many bass and bluegill, but landing a 15-pound salmon is a whole different ballgame. Willie did a great job of putting Jason at ease and showing him what to do. We had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and, obviously, we were hoping to have a great time and catch some big salmon. Also, as a father I was hoping for a family-type atmosphere on the boat. Our experience on the Reel Addiction surpassed our expectations. I never imagined that we would limit out in just a few short hours with a 22-pound, 15-pound, etc. Jason and I relive that morning on the water every time we take a bite of our fish. Keep up the great work and hopefully we can make it back to Door County and do it all over!"

""Dale and I had such a great time spending our second honeymoon fishing with you and Willie. It was bitter sweet to catch our limit within 2 hours, our trip then over. The morning was beautiful and the expertise of you and Willie made it so enjoyable. We have been telling everyone we know about our experience and they have been waiting to see our catch on your site! See you in 08!" "

""I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful experience you provided to my son, daughter and I. We took your charter a week ago Monday (7-30) evening. My son, Ryan, caught the 15 lb King Salmon right off the bat. We nabbed 6 and a half fish overall. You and Willie made every effort to ensure we had a great time and I really appreciate it. In fact, this weekend we're ready to savour some of that fantastic salmon on the grill.""

"Thank you for a 30 SALMON DAY! The Sanderful Adventure Fishing Legend grows with this experience. Relatives around Door County shared the harvest with greatful astonishment. Mariano (Andy) says \"Hi\" to Willie who thinks Willie is pretty cool). Consider this a testimonial, may the fishing gods continue to smile on Door County and Reel Addiction Charters. With much appreciation!"

"I wanted to drop you a line and say what a great time Sam & I had on your charter. We appreciate you making a available a service that allows a great experience for young fisherman. Sometimes charters contain language and beer combinations that can lead to a bad mix for a young fisherman's experience. "

"Rowleys Bay is an undiscovered salmon paradise and Capt. Denny Nielsen knows how to fish it! On a couple of trips with Denny and his first mate Joey last August (2004), we smacked a bunch of nice kings. He's a pro who's willing to share his knowledge. I'd recommend his Reel Addiction charter operation to anyone!"
