CATCH FISH! The spacious 43' Big Mack II sportfisher is designed specifically for Lake Tahoe and equipped with the latest in electronics and fishing gear. Mickey and his crew will ably assist you and share their expertise as you enjoy deeplining for Mackinaw and toplining for Rainbow and Browns. Some of Mickey's "record" catches during the past 40 years include Mackinaws over 30 pounds, along with trophy Rainbows over 11 pounds and Browns. Both individuals and groups (large or small) are welcome. We offer whole-boat discounts and gift certificates are available for those special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day or Mother's Day.

CATCH FUN! Fishermen (and women), grandpas and (ma's), shutterbugs and funsters alike - view spectacular Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra terrain as it can only be seen from the water. Morning and evening charters available for fishing, sightseeing or private parties are easily arranged. See Mickey "the jokester" having fun with some young angler!

LOCATION: Only 5 miles from the California/Nevada border and centrally located (between Kings Beach and Tahoe City), the marina is easily accessible year round.

WHAT TO BRING: All gear is provided. You are welcome to bring aboard your food and drinks, as there is ample room available. Catering services can be arranged for whole boat charters. The Big Mack II has a large comfortable cabin with dinette tables and restroom. You are responsible for your own fishing license. Either California or Nevada fishing licenses are acceptable. CA fishing licenses may be obtained prior to departure.

TIME: Morning and afternoon trips are available, however fishing is usually most productive around sun-up. We highly recommend the "early bird" trip (and Mickey provides the coffee)! Times vary according to the season, so get specific information when making your reservations. Please call for further information or to make your reservations. A 50% deposit (check or credit card number) is required to confirm all bookings. We look forward to your visit! View Mickey's Big Mack information sheet (pdf)
