    Great trip and Great Fish

    STRIPERS PLUS CATCH CLEAN COOK • 2 adults

    The captain said we should start earlier in the morning to catch what we wanted and he was right! We ended up catching more striped bass out of anyone else on the water in our area. Along with the stripers we managed to catch many blue catfish many large ones as well as smaller ones good for eating. Steady action and a lot of fun. The captain helped us get the trophy we wanted and the meat we wanted as well. He kept us on the fish all day and he was a great guide and instructor. We had a blast fishing all day and we woild definitely book the trip again.

    Captain Joe is AWESOME.

    Striper and catfish combo • 3 adults

    My two buddies and I wanted to grab a fishing charter on our annual lake trip and we were put on the fish IMMEDIATELY by Captain Joe. We caught monsters all day and we even gave the rest of our bait to anotger captain because he wasnt catching anything! We were the only boat to off load fish at the landing. They cleaned the fish, MacDaddies fried them up and made us a meal and it was incredible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE. Thanks Captain Joe! You are the man! Bill Dance approves!

    Best guided trip I have ever taken!

    Striper and catfish combo • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our trip yesterday with Captain Joe was a blast! I took my son, dad, and father-in-law for a late Father's Day and birthday present for me. We started fishing early around 5:00 a.m. We caught 3 big catfish first thing, and had a few misses. Then we went to a few other spots. There was very little time without catching fish. We filled 120 gallon cooler full within 3 hours. We had gotten our monies worth by 9:30 a.m. Captain Joe knows his stuff and was quick to rebate and take fish off. He kept the rods in the water the whole time. He was also very patient with my 12-year-old son and allowed him to do a lot. He is very personable and a extremely knowledgeable guide. His boat and equipment is all top notch. The boat is very accommodating, clean, and roomy. Communication was awesome and he is an all-around great guy. I already plan to book him again and would highly encourage you booking a trip with Captain Joe Dennis soon!

    Highly Recommend

    Striper and catfish combo • 2 adults

    Absolutely awesome trip with Captain Joe! He was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience great for everyone, especially beginners. Even when the fish weren’t constantly biting, he worked hard to keep us on fish and made sure we had a great time the entire trip. I caught the biggest fish I’ve ever caught, and we brought in both stripers and catfish throughout the day. Captain Joe also had a great sense of humor and kept the whole trip fun from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing experience on the water. Highly recommend this charter, we’ll definitely be booking again next year when we visit!
