What Anglers Are Saying

“My wife and I have fished with Justin of Breakday Charters for nine years. He has always worked hard to put us on fish. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to knowing where the fish are and what bait presentation to get those hookups. Highly recommend Justin.”

Mike Kalsched

Been out with Justin on several occasions and also lucky to have purchased some of the lures he makes. Professional and courteous every time and we caught fish. Highly recommend him. Good dude.
