Wild Cat Guide Service – Dayton
Wild Cat Guide Service – Dayton
There's a fish with your name on it in a Local lake near Dayton and Wild Cat Guide Service will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mark knows them forwards and back.
These waters are home to Channel, Blue and Flathead Catfish, and more with any luck. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 20' SeaArk aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it 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, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Chris Kemplin•
Ohio, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAmazing Experience
6 Hour Trip – Local Lakes Catfish on June 13, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Mark asked me what my goals were for the trip when we scheduled the appointment. I told him I wanted to get catfish to make fish nuggets for my daughter. Captain Mark said Hueston Woods is where we wanted to go for that. We caught 23 of the healthiest catfish I've ever seen. Captain Mark also taught my family who are newer to fishing a lot but also made sure I was learning quite a bit as I have been fishing for a long time but never have trolled like we did and am self taught so there is a lot of gaps in my knowledge. When the bite slowed down midday we had great conversation between bites. Easily one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. Captain Mark is knowledgeable, kind, fun, and an excellent conversationalist. I would recommend Wild Cat Guide Service and Captain Mark to anyone. Regardless of experience or age, Mark will make sure everyone has a great time.
