Troy’s Guide Service

Member since March 2021 Kingston, United States
Background
My name is Troy Ellefson II. I was born in Texas and moved to Iowa for 8 years before moving to Oklahoma. I grew up in Midwest City, Oklahoma, and graduated from there. I’m married with two kids. I have plenty of experience and patience fishing with small children. My boat is handicap friendly, and I can make accommodations for almost anything you can think of. I can handle large groups with advance notice and can provide lodging from a myriad of places as well. I am an Army Veteran (8 years, honorable), spent 4 years as a volunteer firefighter, and run a very small welding business/weld for my FIL as well. I have worked in sales, construction, oilfield, and now the outdoor industry. I hold and maintain current CPR, first aid, and other ems/fire certifications. I carry a current TWIC CARD (clean federal background check), commercial marine insurance, and boaters education, and I run a safe, clean vessel. Hunting and fishing is my passion. I would much rather be in the woods or on the water than anywhere else. Once you step into my boat, you’ll find that my attitude and my equipment reflect that. I’m fishing out of a 2020 Blazer Bay 2400 (24’ forward CC) with a 300 Yamaha outboard. I can comfortably fish six people and can accommodate up to 8 if need be. I keep all my equipment cleaned and well-maintained. I am fully licensed and commercially insured. I can fish lures and live bait. During the months of March to November, I will usually have some form of bait in the boat. Please tell me when booking if you have a certain way you want to fish (bait, topwater, slabs, a-rigs, etc). I can teach you to catch at the very least one fish on my trips utilizing a myriad of techniques and methods.

Troy was very knowledgeable about the area. He insured everyone had a great time, whether fishing with live hate or trolling....
