Kentucky, USMember since 20245.0Verified17th Birthday Well Spent
6 Hour Trip on July 11, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain Scott was accommodating and flexible from the start. This was a last minute idea for a gift for my son’s 17th birthday and he went the extra mile to make it work out on the date we needed. My son and his friend had a great experience, caught lots of fish, and made some great memories.
Jerald Davis•Kentucky, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat Guide and Knows where the fish are.

4 Hour Trip on August 3, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childI truly recommend Captain Scott, he took myself and family for awesome day of fishing. My 11yr old first experience fishing. He made this so easy and comfortable. Five star service cross the board.

4 Hour Trip on July 15, 2024 • 3 adultsScott was great. He was patient and shared a lot of great information. We have never had much luck at getting fish on the boat in the heat of the summer in Kentucky, until this trip!

Thanks Larry!
Cold front had come thru a couple days earlier but we still caught largemouth in the 2-3 # range and a decent channel cat that I had for dinner. Capt Scott is a good guy with plenty of good stories. I don't base a good day of fishing strictly on the amount of fish that are caught but heavily weigh in on what I learn. Having not fished much on KY Lake I did learn some new tricks and what to look for regarding shorelines and lake topography. I enjoyed the trip and would book again. PLUS you're getting a 6 hour trip for the price most local guides do for 4.
Thanks Bob!
Capt. Scott was the best...we caught fish, and we learned a lot about the lake and area...we are already planning our next trip! Cheers!
Thanks Ray!

Capt. Scott runs trips out of Dexter aboard a 20' Phoenix. These waters are known for Bass and Crappie and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or fly fishing. With great experience in the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
