Ford's Guide Service
Book your next trip with Ford’s Guide Service and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Mead for more. With Captain Steve at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, White Bass, and whatever else takes the bait.
On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
You’re welcome to bring home some of the fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
Capt. Steve runs a 24’ Bay boat with capacity for 7 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials.
Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Trips with Ford’s Guide Service are open to the whole family, so bring ‘em aboard and get the kids hooked while they’re young! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Don’t leave home without sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask.
