    Great Fishing Day with Captain Larry

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    Great fishing day with captain Larry! He runs a great charter business. He said to meet at 6 a.m. at the boat ramp and sure enough he was there with his beautiful Ranger bass boat and we were iff to our fishing hole. His fishing gear is top notch and he rugged all our lines with the appropriate bait fir a full day of fishing fir large mouth bass. My 15 yr old son and I had a great day of fishing! Thank you Captain Larry! Highly recommend him to anyone interested in catching fish all day and can’t wait to book another charter with him. Great guide!

    Great trip with Larry

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    I had a great experience fishing with Larry as our guide. From the start, he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and you could tell he genuinely cares about fishing and making sure his clients have a good time. He took the time to guide us, give tips, and keep us on fish the whole trip. We ended up catching 12 bass in total, which made the trip even better. His attitude, patience, and passion really stood out and made the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group. I’d definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for a solid fishing guide and a great day on the water.

    Fantastic angling experience

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    Larry was absolutely great. He met us right on time and took us straight to the fish. I had one on the literally within the first couple of casts. My daughter had a blast as well. We plan on going again in very near future. Thanks again Larry, Semper Fi

    Beautiful lake & great fun

    4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 2 adults

    Our captain was Larry, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. I booked the fishing trip for my partner who had fished before but i was new to fishing. Larry was so calm and helpful teaching me the ropes. We both caught fish, and Larry took us to 3-4 areas of the Lake, and we tried our hand at using spinner bait & jig bait. I would highly recommend. Thanks for a brilliant day out!

    Thanks Becky for the great review. I’m glad you two had a good time. Wish we could have boated those nice top water fish. Have a safe flight back to London. Hope our paths cross again.

    Very Enjoyable. Captain Larry was knowledgable, polite, and made sure we all reeled in a few good Bass. The lake he chose was very scenic. Good time for a PA lake fishermen to enjoy!
