Best family fishing day ever!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
We had an amazing morning on Lake Buchanan with Captain Max. Our whole family, including our two boys, limited out on stripers and had a blast doing it. The kids were thrilled hauling in fish after fish, and the captain kept us on the action the entire time. After we finished fishing, he even took the boys over to the fishing hole, such a thoughtful touch that made the day extra special for them. Great guide, great boat, and a cooler full of fish to take home. A perfect family outing we won’t forget. Highly recommend!

A fun day in tough conditions

Our trip with Max was great. The weather changed the day of and it made for a tough bite, however Max stayed positive and did his best to get us on fish. Even without putting limits in the boat, we had a blast and would recommend this trip to anyone.

It was my son's 14th Birthday and Chris made sure to make it special! With patience and persistence we caught a lot of Fish. Thank you Chris for all your help. See you in May!

Money well spent

I took my top performers on a fishing trip, and I came back with a rare “repeat buy”. I’m generally a one and done, on to the next activity adventure type, but everyone agreed they want to rebook next quarter. It was affordable, safe and easy. Max had everything ready when we arrived, made catching monster fish seem easy, and my salesman loved the experience. Glad we booked. The only issue we had is deciding who is invited on the next trip.

Nick, I’m glad y’all had a great trip and even happier to hear it turned into a “repeat buy.” Your crew was a blast, and I’d be honored to have you back next quarter. Sounds like the only challenge now is picking who gets to go. — Max

4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 3, 2026 • 2 adults
fishing with captain Max Milam was awesome! He put us on fish right away dispite windy and cloudy weather conditions. He put us on multiple species starting with striper then catfish. We limited out on striper. We caught a total of 10 striper 6 catfish and 2 white bass! My wife and I had a blast and will definitely be going again!
