Capt Travis is the best guide ever.
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on June 6, 20262 adults

Capt Travis did everything right in my opinion, communication was awesome before the fishing. He was prepared, chipper upbeat personality and he put the boat on the fish, and I mean nice beefy fish to take home - we did catch and release what we didn’t need. Just a great day all the way around. Good for all ages - I’m 66 and had a great time, on the next trip I’m taking my grand kids- for sure! Awesome trip, highly recommend

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on April 26, 20261 adult1 child

I booked Travis to take my son and I on our first boat fishing trip. My son is 7 years old and never caught a fish on all of our bank fishing expeditions (go figure). He caught his first fish with Travis within 3 minutes of stopping the boat. He went on to catch 31 more fish 🐟 😭, more than I could clean. Travis is a must book if you are looking for a great experience with and great guide.

great trip with young boys
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on April 19, 20261 adult2 children

Travis took me, my 10 year old son and his best friend on a fantastic fishing morning. We caught crappie, perch, and catfish (probably over 35 fish in total!). Travis was kind and set the boys up to get some experience and feel fishing success. I did not have to worry about a single thing. Would highly recommend for families!

This man knows his fishing
Afternoon Trip - 6 hour on April 4, 20263 adults

We caught an abundance of white crappie only because Captain Travis knows his fishing. His boat is top notch and he his a Southern gentleman. I would recommend that anyone who wants to fish fresh water in the Apex area of South Carolina. Contact Captain Travis at Pig Pen Guide Service.

Fishing has been my hobby since I was little. I grew up Crappie fishing in North Carolina. My experience and knowledge of areas in North Carolina include Lake Gaston, Jordan Lake, Shearon Harris, Neuse River, and Cape Fear River. I have participated in several tournaments, such as Monster Cat Quest at Santee Cooper Lakes. In the past, I have competed in multiple fishing tournament trails, where I have received 1st place in most tournaments. My primary focus is providing fishing charters, but I do fish in several larger tournaments a year, such as the Cabela's Catfish. Fishing is my hobby, life, and a way to network with others. I received my Captain's license in the winter of 2017 with the USCG. Looking to take others on charter trips and 'make it happen.'
