Lake Bridgeport Guide Service's captain Keith is a lakefront resident of Lake Bridgeport. Having fished steadily since he could hold a rod, guiding was a logical next step for him after moving to and getting to know Lake Bridgeport.

He specializes in fishing for Hybrid Striped Bass and Sand Bass, and catches plenty of Blue and Channel Catfish as well.
