  • We came from Northern Michigan to fish the Ohio River, and had a great time! Captain Nick was very knowledgeable, and kept us on fish, despite the weather not cooperating! We caught a variety of fish(Blue, Flathead, Channel cats, Striper, and a SkipJack), and would totally do it again! If we ever come to fish the Ohio River again, we will definitely use Captain Nick!

  • Obviously mid July can be brutal heat wise so lots of water and Gatorade. And if you are new to deeper water worm fishing, or just out of practice, spend a day at a local lake and tune up.

    Captain Nick of Twin Eagles Catfish Charters put our group of 3 on a variety species of fish. We caught blues, flatheads, channels and stripers. We had a trifecta and Captain Nick was quick to help each of us net and remove hooks and get bait back in the water efficiently. Catching bait for our outing was interesting and exciting as well. I recommend Nick as a great Captain and would work with again Thanks for the memories!

    We couldn’t ask for a better guide and Captain! he was knowledgable and patient. Charles put us on the fish several times. You can tell he cares and really enjoys what he does. His customer service was the best I have ever seen on a guide. Great communication leading up to the trip. I dont have the words to explain the level of awesomeness this was. We’ll definitely be back and if you’re thinking about this, just book with Captain Charles!
