Rodney’s Guide Service 

5.0/5 (1 review)
 Tall Chief Cove Boat Ramp, Skiatook, OK 74073, United States

There's a fish with your name on it in Skiatook and Rodney’s Guide Service will help you catch it! With Captain Rodney at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Crappie, White Bass, Striped Bass, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. For these species, you're likely to using light tackle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be fishing aboard a 22' Fish Master bay boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Rodney’s Guide Service.

Rodney was wonderful. My 10 yo grandson had a fabulous time and Rodney was so engaged, teaching and having fun with him. It was such a pleasure to have a morning fishing and enjoying a memorable day with him and Rodney made it even more delightful. Absolutely will hire Rodney again for future trips. Recommend him without reservation!!!!
