Vance was a great guide. We caught about a dozen spotted bass, crappie and catfish. My daughter and I had a fantastic time. Highly recommend. We would definitely book again.

My 12 year old son went fishing at Lake Jocassee with Captain Jordan and he had a great time and gained a lot of knowledge. I will definitely send my son out fishing with Captain Jordan again. I’m a single mother so it’s important to find a male to teach him things. My son really likes him and can’t wait to go back out.

Great fishing trip
5/5
Brian was very kind and responsible. He quickly helped us set up all the fishing gear and even baited the hooks with small minnows. He gave us clear instructions on how deep and how far to release the line to increase our chances of catching fish. Although the bait was limited, possibly because of the weather or other factors, Brian stayed very diligent and checked multiple spots to find fish. I highly recommend this trip to anyone and look forward to fishing with him again.

Great Memorial Day with my Son and Nephew

We booked a last minute trip for Memorial Day with Captain Fisher. We wanted to take my 11year old son and his cousin fishing. What a blast! My dad and I along with my brother in law watched these two young boys real one fish after another. Great time and experience!!
