Tate was a phenomenal guide. We had a blast, we brought our two little girls and he was so patient. Caught 8-10 nice sized bass and a catfish. Thanks so much, definitely recommended.
We had a full day with these guys, what an absolutely great day we had. These guys were great fishermen and awesome to hangout with. I would recommend these guys to anyone wanting to catch some big fish and have a laid back environment to do it in. I will be going back
Gave this trip as a gift to my husband and his kids for Father’s Day. They had the best time. Tate was a wonderful guide and made sure they caught some fish. He’s knowledgeable and a great communicator. Can’t recommend him enough!

We had a great time, got out there early, and enjoyed the experience. Tate knew the lake very well knew the spots to go to. I would definitely recommend, We will be fishing with him next time for sure! Thanks Tate!
Captain Tate was early in the water and put us on fish immediately. He is very knowledgeable and you won’t find anyone on Lanier more capable and eager to get you on fish and catching.
