My son and I went out this past week and capt. David was the perfect guide for the back water, he had us on fish withing 15 minutes of the first cast and kept us on them all day, no kidding I cant even tell you how many fish we caught, at one point it seemed like every other cast and we doubled up 3 times! the whole experience was super relaxed he was a true pleasure to talk too and learn from. I dont do many reviews but when its great it deserves one! thanks capt david we will be back!!
Captain David was wonderful. He was very patient with my kiddo and all his questions. We caught 11 fish (shell cracker, blue gill, bass, crappie, and yellow perch). My son had as much fun going fast on the boat as he did fishing. Thanks for a great trip out.
My son and I have fished with Captain David the past 2 years. We each caught several nice bass. First class operation. I would reccomend to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.
David was great and exceeded all my expectations! He really knows these waters and is very patient and helpful with using various techniques and tackle. I truly had a professional guide today! I caught lots of fish and have great memories. Thanks again David
The Captain was very knowledgeable and easy going! It felt like we were out fishing with our normal buddies. Highly recommend and planning ahead for next years adventures already! The fishing was great, very peaceful and relaxing! Plan ahead for a day of fun!
