    Steve was very very courteous. Made sure to be on the ramp at the time of our arrival despite us running late and having to stop and pick up our license. He took us to some good spots to fish and we were to catch. We recommended him to everyone.

    Put in the work.

    4 Hour Fishing Trip - Half Day on September 22, 2025 • 2 adults

    We caught a few fish including a 4-5 lb LMB. It was obvious that Captain Steve was disappointed with the turnout but it wasn't from lack of effort. We ran to a lot of different locations and threw a variety of soft plastics. We caught fish and had a beautiful day on the water. Will definitely do it again.

    October fishing trip

    4 Hour Fishing Trip - Half Day on October 31, 2024 • 1 adult

    Steve put me on fish from the start and we continued to catch them all day. We had several over five pounds with most in 2 1/2 to 4 pounds range. He showed me techniques that I could use on my own to improve the number of fish I caught and the size.

    Took my son and husband on a fishing trip. My son caught his biggest bass and will remember it for the rest of his life. Steve was hospitable, knowledgeable, and a great coach, giving my husband and son the best fishing trip. They caught 7 fish, each! We have so many photos to remember the special day. Book with Steve! He is prompt with messages and worth every penny, seeing the joy on my husband and son’s faces!
