We were looking to land our first trophy Blue Catfish and came across Thunder Cove. Hunting for trophies requires alot of patience, Tony was great to conversate while we waited for the big moment. He was also changing spots frequently to make sure we were giving ourselves the best chances. Also didn’t get bothered that I was asking him what he was using and the type of tackle it takes to land these monsters. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book their next catfish adventure.
Caught a great group of catfish up to 19 pounds
