It first started with my father taking me fishing. Over time, it was his way of spending quality time with me. I developed a passion for fishing and everything fishing had to offer me. Once I was finished with the military and polished up my skills in life, I decided to do it for a living. Captain Raymond loves to take people out and make sure they are having as much fun as him.

    Awesome trip, convient location

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    I booked this trip with my adult sons, and it did not disappoint! Bones got us on the fish pretty quickly, and the bite stayed consistent until we ran out of bait. After that, we switched over to lures and kept fishing. Bones was great about coaching us along the way and sharing some effective techniques and tips for catching Red Drum, and they definitely seemed to work. We had a great time, caught fish, and learned a few things in the process. Bones also filleted our fish as well. I would absolutely book another trip with Bones. If you’re curious about fishing Calaveras Lake, I highly recommend booking a trip, you won’t be disappointed!

    Monster Catfish!!

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM • 5 adults

    What a great experience, went fishing today with my brothers and father for my birthday!! the captain, very knowledgeable, with a lot of experience. He knew exactly where the fish were and got us some good Fish right away. We had a total of 10 fish, eight reds and two catfish with a 28 pound monster catfish that gave me a great battle! Will definitely book again with bones fishing guide services. Such an awesome Experience, but most of all great memories were made with Dad and brothers. 100% recommended.

    Great coaching and catch

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    I booked a halfday fishing trip with Captain Raymond for my son and I. We caught many red fish, most of them over 22 inches. Raymond is a great guide for novices (me) and experienced anglers. At the end of our trip, he expertly cleaned up some of our catch and we took home some fillets for dinner (which were excellent with Cajun seasoning). We had a lot of fun, and I don't hesitate to recommend Bones Fishing Guide!

    Great experience!!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Surprised my husband for his 40th birthday with this guide. Him, myself, and our 13yr old daughter. We caught so many reds! The captain was down to earth, very patient and informative. He handles everything, all you have to do is sit back, jam to the music, and reel in a big fish when it hits. We had a great trip! Would definitely book again!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    10 red drum in 4hrs

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a great trip with Bones fishing. It was my dad and five of my kids as well as myself. My oldest is 20 and the youngest was 8 and everyone had a great time. The captain did all the hard work and let us do all the fun work. I would highly recommend captain Bomes to anyone I know.
