Let’s catch some slabs! Pigpen Guide Service provides Crappie charters at Jordan Lake with USCG Captain Travis Bradshaw. He’s been fishing at Jordan Lake his whole life and feels like it could be his second home. 

Trips can accommodate up to 6 guests on the 24’ Carolina Skiff with 16 rod holders! Captain Bradshaw provides all the fishing gear you will need, including bait. No matter your skill level, your needs can be met! Just bring a valid fishing license!

Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they’re within the legal limit. Children are welcome aboard, so feel free to bring them along. Pick-up locations could change throughout the year.

Message Captain Travis and start planning your trip today!

AAA+++ Capt. Bradshaw provided us with an awesome time putting fish in the boat. Man did he work hard that morning because the fish were biting all around the boat. We hit a few of his honey holes and we definitely got our haul of crappie and white perch. Capt. Bradshaw really loves what he does and it shows. I will be booking him again in the future. We had a blast. If you want to catch some fish, Capt. Bradshaw is your guide.

This is the second time for me fishing w/Travis and much like the first time he did not disappoint. I would not call this a fishing trip but instead a catching trip. WE KILLED IT.. Can’t say enough good things about Travis and his knowledge of the lakes. Well with the money. Thanks Travis!

Been fishing saltwater my entire life but wanted to dive into lake fishing. I have to say Captain Travis opened my heart to this new endeavor. I went with my 9 year old daughter. Most importantly, she had a blast with me. Travis was beyond awesome to say the least. Extremely friendly and passionate about making his guest have a good time. Wish I could give 6 stars! We caught tons of fish! And had fun!
