Rend Lake – Lakeside Guide Services 

Had an awesome trip with Jeff at Rend Lake – Lakeside Guide Services. We hit our limit and were on slab crappies the whole time. What really stood out was how efficient everything was. no fancy tech, just pure experience and knowledge of the water. Jeff knows exactly where to go and how to stay on fish. You can tell he’s been doing this a long time, and it shows in the results. If you want a guide who gets you on fish and keeps it simple and effective, this is your guy. Highly recommend will definitely be back

We had a wonderful time with Captain Jeff. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the fishing trip a joy instead of chore for my husband. We can thank him enough and look forward to a fall fishing trip!

captain jeff is great. my experience exceeded my expectations. i look forqard to a fall teip and many mor.

Let me say this man is an amazing guide, fisherman and human being! Pulling up to the first spot I looked at his depth finder and was expecting him to have the fish finder on like every guide I’ve seen. There was no fish finder on and within 10 minutes we were slaying the crappies! End of the day we ended with lots to eat and some really nice slabs! I think there needs to be more than 5 stars for a rating for this man and his small business. We are going to make the 5 hour drive to spend a week with this guy out on the water! Great conversationalist and with all the bang for your buck!

Our trip with Jeff was really great! He is fun to be around, and a very nice guy. His experience on the lake is evident, as he got us unto the fish even in the middle of the summer heat. We had a great day and went home with plenty of fish. His Airbnb right next door is also very comfortable and very handy if you want to get an early start and get on the water quickly. I would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone who wants to fill the boat with nice slab crappie!

Although the summer days were extremely warm, Captain Jeff knew being out there by sunrise, knew where the fish were and to fish deep would yield the catch limit for everyone in the boat in just a few hours. He was even sensitive to those who needed an alternative fishing technique. Plenty of water, Gatorade and lively conversations made for a great fishing experience on Rend Lake. Thanks Captain Jeff!

Put on 2 lakes to find fish. Cleaned ours then gave us a couple bags of crappie to add to our freezer

Weather forced us to move to a different lake and Jeff got us on the crappie. Definitely would go again

Captain Jeff provided a great fishing experience. The weather conditions weren't the greatest, but we made the best of the day. We loved being out on the lake and checking out the scenery while fishing. Jeff even gave us some extra fish that he had on hand since we didn't catch that many fish. Jeff was patient and explained the best ways to catch the fish, we just need more practice!! We would definitely book with him again.

Guide was good and knowledgeable. All equipment needed was provided. Put us on fish. After the trip captain cleaned the fish and rinsed them as good as I would have done myself. Then he provided a plastic zip lock bag, an ice pack and a small cooler. Our captain Jeff also has a bed and breakfast if the drive is too far for one day trip with package deals. All good!
