James put us on the bass!
Half Day Trip on March 27, 20262 adults

i caught a bass on my fourth cast! Had a shot at a really good one but missed it because I thought I was hung up! James a really nice guy and was attentive to my son who is inexperienced with baitcasters. I’m pretty experieced but still learned a lot from James and had a good time. We showed up with nothing but a bottled water each, everything else we needed, James provided. He even answered questions for me before our trip about other fisheries we were close to. His YouTube channel is full of good information as well.

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass
