Reel Livin Guide Service 

If you’re thinking about booking a striper guide trip, stop thinking and just do it! This was hands-down one of the most fun fishing trips I’ve ever been on. Kevin and his deckhand, Ryan were knowledgeable, patient, and had great sense of humor. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or someone who thinks a fishing reel is a new exercise machine, you’ll feel right at home. The fish were not as active today and that was common for alot of people on the lake. They were definitely there, just not hungry. Somedays you just cant get them like you want them. We had so many laughs and brought home some striper to cook. Hope to book with Mr. Cates again in the future.

We caught stripper and some catfish. Overall an awesome experience. I brought my sons who had never fished with a guide before and they really enjoyed it! I’m looking forward to booking another trip with Kevin later this year!

Captain did a great job and we waited out the rain for about 6 hours before we finally got out on the water. He di not complain one bit that we had to wait it out even though he had awoken way before us to get bait.

Our Captain was knowledgeable and professional. We had very windy weather (gusts of 30 mph) but Kevin changed plans to find us a place with fish and avoiding the larger swells. He found us places closer to the shore as the tree line worked as a wind break so we were not constantly in the wind. I highly recommend Captain Kevin.

My son and had a great time fishing with Capt Kevin. Everything was ready and we departed immediately for a great day of fishing. He does it all from baiting, unhooking the fish and cleaning them at the end of the. He has a nice, spacious boat as well. Highly recommend!
