    Great company, great boat and great technology

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 29, 2024 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a cold windy day, but had the best time ever. The whole family was on the boat and we caught plenty of fish. What the booking site doesn’t tell you is that the boat is equipped with great technology so they can find the fish more easily; this increases your chances of a catch. They don’t always bite I’m sure but today we were lucky. Guy and Gary were fabulous with the kids, and us!

    Fun Times

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 26, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had a few hour delay due to the bad weather, so we started late. Our expectations were down because of the storm, and we did manage to catch a couple of fish. They were great for the kids, exactly what they wanted. Captain Guy and Gary were great. They tried their hardest to find fish, but to no avail. Didnt matter we still enjoyed boating all over the lake. They found us a cove where we could do some swimming, so it was a great time. Thanks Guy and Gary.

    Half day trip with Captain Guy

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 6, 2023 • 2 adults

    Booked this trip as a birthday trip for my husband and it was a great time! Guy was super knowledgeable and although the fish were a bit picky the first park of the trip, Guy did his best and eventually found us a great spot. Would definitely go again if we’re in the area again!

Afternoon Trip on August 5, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

Really fun afternoon and early evening on Lake Whitney with Captain Guy. They know the lake and where the fish are, work really hard to get you to them, and have a lot of great gear. Particularly appreciated how they engaged with my 12 year-old grandson about the Garmin gear they were using, and helped him on his catches. We look forward to another chance to do it with them again.

My father was a navy man and all of us kids were raised on the water fishing 24/7 I retired and started guiding full time on Lake Whitney where I'm living my dream. Really enjoy people, family and friends and making them feel like they belong on the water. There is nothing like watching children catch fish nothing.
