Full day – Multi-species on August 15, 2025
Michael was a great guide and a great host. He shared his knowledge and expertise which created a unique learning experience. One of the best parts of this experience was that he focused on the type of fish my group wanted to catch. We chose multi species and had a great time catching smallmouth, monster carp, and channel catfish. He knows his stuff and is a great option for a fishing guide. I would highly recommend booking a trip with him.

Full day – Multi-species on October 7, 2023
Our group consisted of me (38yo female, mom), my son (13) and his friend (12). Michael was more than prepared and was really fun to be around. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. He had all bait, rods, reels, and lures galore ready to go. What I appreciated most was the time he spent helping the boys and me improve our cast and catch techniques. I now feel much more confident. We can’t wait for next experience- with Michael!! Thank you so much!!
