We had an amazing experience with Captain Jake! He did a wonderful job making our trip enjoyable while also teaching us so much about the different fish and the local waters. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and happy to answer all of our questions. On top of that, he was genuinely kind and made everyone feel welcome. You can tell he loves what he does, and it made the whole experience even better. We highly recommend Captain Jake to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and memorable fishing trip!

My husband and I had an awesome time! This Father’s Day gift for my husband was for the memory books. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Captain Jake was very knowledgeable and professional. His boat had the necessary equipment and was organized. We caught 9 catfish, but released 4 because we did have the space to store them. Captain Jake let us borrow a cooler, so that we could get the fish we kept back home. We are looking forward to our next trip with Captain Jake!!

Our trip and guide with Jakes guide service overall was a fun time. The captain had a great personality and was very friendly. The only complaint we really had was some of the timeliness and the lack of drive closer to the last hour of the charter. With the timeline being 4 hours total, not once you start fishing till you stop, I would have liked to see the drive to get our group onto fish remain high the entire time. Closer to the last 45 minutes alloted he seemed distracted and more focused on his phone than staying active at chasing the fish. Also he said we’d fish for catfish/crappie because based off our 10am start time catfish would be better but he didnt bring any bait to even catfish so we end up throwing thr catfish poles in the last 45 mins after we caught bait. Other than that, it wasnt a bad experience even though we didnt catch alot. But, its called fishing and not catching. Overall, would I recommend it to someone else, maybe, would I drive 3 hours again to try again, no.

We took our son on the 3 hour trip for his 8th birthday with Jake and it was a blast! Jake’s boat was extremely clean and we were thrilled to find out that it had an enclosure with heat! It was only 43 degrees when we headed out so it would have been chilly! He managed my excited 8 and 5 year old boys with ease and we had a great experience! The boys landed lots of crappie, perch, and catfish! Our 5 year old is already requesting this for his birthday in March!

We had a great time! This was by far the best fishing trip that we have been on. The captain was very knowledgeable and did a great job at getting us to the right spots. We will definitely be booking him again for trips in the future!
