Species like Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, White Bass, Spotted Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Walleye, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

Mike Sandoval5.0VerifiedWhat a Day!
Half Day Trip Carters Special (AM) on September 16, 2024 • 1 adultI’ve got to say, with this being my first charter of any kind, Josh far exceeded my expectations. From the ease of booking the trip, to finding him on the dock early in the dark morning to spending hours on the water having a great time, this was really a GREAT experience. Not to mention, we hooked into some monsters! I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to have a great day on the lake and those who want to catch fish!
