Goin4smallies Guide Service - Pennsylvania 

A great day of fishing on a great fishery, with a knowledgeable and friendly captain, who put us on a boatload of fish, including sizable smallies and a musky. Will definitely fish with Captain Dave again in the future.

Great experience with Dave of Goin for Smallies guide service. Fish were being finicky but Dave put in his full effort to put us on fish and it paid off. My son and I had a blast. Would recommend Dave to everyone

Lost track of number of fish caught within first hour. Any trip like that is a “keeper.” (As a kid had deep sea trips where we caught nothing). Capt. Dave shows you why Susquehanna is World Class Smallmouth fishing. We fished same waters that hosted Hobie Kayak Fishing Pro Tour this summer. And, as productively as if you watched Jeff Little’s You Tube channel “The Little Stuff” — and had “gotten the pattern down for the bite,” as he calls it. Capt. David has a huge arsenal of tackle. But you really only need one or two lures—the ones they’re biting on that day. And just a few places (where they’re feeding) on the day you’re out and in those water and weather conditions. Affirmed what I learned (that should/would work now) from “the Little stuff.” Coincidence? No—experience. But what Jeff recommended “now” (Fall Pattern vid) where he illustrated the learning process, David knew. Meaning he obviously “knew” (or thought he knew) the pattern that would work. Handed me a rod with a tied on lure. I fished it (using dead stick technique I learned from “the little stuff.”). Bam, Bam,bam. More fish in first hour (lost count) than I got in any trip all summer. Which “proved” validity of what was being taught in Little Stuff, i.e Figure out these moody fishes’ patterns. Pro Tip: Or someone who knows it and can get you there. Another Pro Tip: Now (beginning of October til it’s too cold) — is Susquehanna Smallie feeding frenzy of fattening up for winter. (

Even with challenging conditions, clear blue skies and crystal clear water, we still caught lots of fish. Amazed by how many above average sized fish were caught. The guide was just like one of the guys.

Captain Dave was outstanding he replied to email for booking right away communication was great all the way up to fishing day it was raining all day and he still put my son and I on the fish and made sure we were having a great day of building father and so memories he is and will definitely be our Susquehanna small mouth fishing guide again soon could not ask for a better person or guide

David is dialed in and amazingly personable. Immediately on fish and didn't stop till we stopped. Haven't met anyone that knows the Susquehanna better.

Dave was a great guide and hooked us on some nice fish. Dave knows what he is doing and I plan on booking another trip soon.

Still caught some fish even though it was 30 degrees when we started.

while the water level was extremely low - we were able to catch about 15 smallmouth. Our guide was very knowledgeable and familiar with our fishing location. i would recommend him for other anglers. Capt David was very good at communication prior to trip.

Great trip, put us on the fish. Easy going, patient Capt. fun to fish with.
