On a windy afternoon, Captain Nick found the quiet spots to fish leisurely and we caught a total of about 30 crappie and a few drum, with all but a couple over the legal limit. It was a great afternoon of fishing and conversation, more typical of a less chaotic time. Hope to repeat the experience soon!
Thank you for the kind words Brian!
First good choice was booking with Nick! Second good choice was inviting my brother and my nephew. The locals told me I would be very happy with Nick and that truly was an understatement! Nick is both professional and just a fun guy to hang out with. He was there ready to go with boat in the water gear ready and bait fresh. His knowledge of the lake and just crappie was awesome. His boat and equipment was fantastic. What we really enjoyed about Nick is how he interacted with us all day. It was like fishing with an old friend more than with a guide. He truly has a servants heart and cares both about his clients and nature as a whole. We have already booked again for the fall of this year. We have booked with guides from anything from hunting to fishing to sailing and cliff climbing and Nick by far is at the top of that list of top notch guides. Being a veteran myself I always look to support other veterans and in this case it was everything I hoped for. Time is so valuable today more than ever and the need to relax and enjoy your time is also at a premium today. So if you’re looking to do both they fishing look no further than Nick Rose! Thanks again Nick for a wonderful family day !
Wow! Thanks for the kind words!!! Can’t wait to chase them this fall!!!
My grandson and I had a great time.The trip was educational,fun and relaxing.Nike was very professional and patient did all he could to make our trip memorable.
With Rambling Rose Guide Service no details are missed. From booking to follow up calls to cleaning our hefty limit of crappies Captain Nick ensured we had an experience to remember. My son and I had a great time and will be back for future trips guaranteed! All we can say is “Thank You” for taking the time to not only assist us with techniques for catching crappie but to teach us how to be better fisherman as well. - Chris and Andrew
The captain was patient of to wait an hour for the weather to pass after that. It was on fish galore. No time for texting just catch catch catch. They ended up being beautiful and the crappies were hungry. Highly recommend
