What People Are Saying About Us
On a whim I decided I wanted to try my hand at fishing Lake Tahoe and this charter had really great reviews and the price felt reasonable, so I booked through them as a public single person going. Unfortunately spots didn’t fill up and it looks like I won’t be able to go. However, Joby has been excellent at communicating with me through the whole process and giving me tips on where to try my luck from the shore.
This kind of professionalism isn’t found very many places these days. So regardless if they’re able to find me a spot or not on one of their boats, my experience with Mile High Fishing Charters has been a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional company to take them out fishing on this beautiful lake!

Top notch….What an AWESOME experience!! Joby@ Mile High Fishing is extremely knowledgeable, patient, organized and knows how to make things happen! He’s a nice guy too ! I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first time. We caught 6 trout and Joby was patient with me showing me every detail along the way. I recommend his services for any age group. Btw he has a REALLY cool boat too. Book it you won’t be disappointed !
Joby was an awesome guide who helped me my mom and my dad catch some awesome fish and was very helpful with assisting us bring the fish in and very helpful with our lines he was also explaining about the fish and bobbing the line and also explained how to clean the fish overall it was an awesome experience and would highly recommend to people who want to fish and have fun
Had a great time with Joby! Super helpful and made the trip super fun. The family enjoyed the morning fishing would definitely recommend him.
Had an amazing morning on the lake. Captain Justin was the absolute best, taking us to the hottest spots for fish and teaching us and our 3 teens along the way. He is so knowledgeable of fishing and Lake Tahoe, in general. Bonus that he played the best music. If you are looking for a professional fishing charter, look no further than Mile High fishing Co., out of the Tahoe Keys. A guaranteed good time! We had a party of 5 and ended up with 8 fish total.
Mile High got us in on short notice for a nice half day charter on the lake. Joby worked very hard and simply knows his stuff! He has done this here for a long time. The boat was clean, comfortable and well equipped. I'd highly recommend these guys!
We had an amazing time 10/18/23 with Carsar as our captain. He was very through and taught us some new methods of fishing. We caught 6 and our boatmates from Englamd the same. Highly recommend him as a captain. Also Chris in the office was super nice.
Justin with Mile High was a pure joy! We had a wonderful and plentiful fishing excursion. He was both educational and fun.!
Joby and the gang at Mile High were awesome! We were the only boat catching limits of Kokanee in Lake Tahoe when Dirks Bentley and his crew wake surfed right past us!!! Everyone knows Joby in South Lake and he knows this lake like a true Pro! So fun!!! Thank you!!!
What a fun time!! Justin knew it all. Patient and kind in instructing me, my brother, and dad. His enthusiasm for the fish, the lake, and his boat was contagious. We filled the rack with salmon and lake trout (yum)! He cut our bigger fish into filets for us too. Knowledgeable and professional. Worth it times a million!!!!
Had an absolutely amazing time with Justin, He took care of everything and made sure we had an awesome experience. Cleaned the fish right there too! Truly a great time for people of all fishing experience.
Joby was an amazing captain. We got out early and caught a bunch of Silver Salmon and a great mackinaw trout. Very hard working and gave us the best experience! Had the fish cooked at MacDuffs. An amazing day!
What a great experience! Captain Joby did not disappoint! We didn’t have to get up and be on the water before sunrise, like other captains told us we needed to do. We were on the water at 7am and basically had a few Mackinaw within minutes of the first pole in the water! The water was calm, weather was perfect and not a better view and NO ONE PLAYS BETTER MUSIC!! Captain Joby told us how to catch ‘em and we listened. We will DEFINITELY book with him the next time we visit Tahoe! Thank you so much Captain Joby!!
By far the best Charter company in Tahoe! Joby was incredible getting me on a boat last minute! He went above and beyond. The trip itself was unbelievable! Beautiful waters, a very nice boat, and a captain and deck hand that were second to none. I’ve been on MANY charters. The captain was knowledgeable, personable, and helpful with any questions I asked about the area. They even suggested a few great places to shore fish. We did all types of fishing in just a half day trip! Trolling, jigging, live baits, and plastics! Overall the best experience I’ve had on a fishing trip in my life! Thanks guys.
Justin is a excellent captain very knowledgeable and knows how to find the fish
Had a wonderful trip. Would highly recommend anyone that wants to catch fish give them a call. The fish was so good for dinner thanks again Justin

It was extremely worth every penny. I just want to thank Captain Justin Cain for an amazing trip, such a great friendly and knowledgeable fisherman, I'm not new to fishing by far and I still learned a few tricks, I highly suggest getting the private fishing trip, it was so fun and relaxing we are going again before they book all out, Just wanted to say thanks again to Mile High Charters and Justin, what a great operation, they seem to really care about making the best trip possible. 5 stars all the way!!! See you guys soon!!
What an amazing unforgettable trip! There was five of us on the morning half day trip which was from 6am to 10am. Several newbies and one who has never fished before, who caught the first fish! Captain Justin first went and set traps to catch some live bait and we went to one of his many fishing spots where we landed our first mackinaw. We caught our limit and released a small one. The boat was very clean and comfortable and there was plenty of room inside the heated cabin and outside while fishing. Complimentary water and soda was provided. Justin baited the hooks put us on top of the fish, netted the fish and cleaned the fish. All we had to do was reel them in. To top it off, he recommended taking our catch to Macduff’s who prepares the fish three different ways with sides. The best tasting, freshest fish ever! The whole experience was first class from beginning to end. Thank you for the amazing experience which we will never forget! I will definitely be back soon.
