Great Day!
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on August 29, 20252 adults

Captain Dave was absolutely awesome. Kind man, that was more happy to help me and my 11yr old get on the fish. Dave was absolutely the best guide I have ever been fishing with. Tons of bait, water, gatorade and a more then pleasant personality. Captain Dave gets 10 Stars for me for the extra kindness that costs 0.00 extra to provide in life. I caught 7 Bass in our trip my son caught only 1 but we were on the fish and Dave did he best to keep us moving so we did not get bored. All round fantastic experience, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fresh water experience. Thanks agin Dave for a great day on the water.

Fun time on the water
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 29, 20252 adults

David was a great charter, me and my girlfriend came down from pa for the weekend and wanted to catch some fish and we did. The bite was a bit slow at first so David pulled out some tricks and stirred the fish up with some top water and then the bite was on from there. I was able to land my new PB large mouth and am so glad we chose David for our charter. Cannot beat the price, you get to use newer gear not no cheap Ollie’s rod and the boat was super clean.
