    Great experience!!!!!

    8 Hour Trip – Hogging/Noodling • 2 adults • 1 child

    Got as a gift for my birthday and went with my 11 year old son. We were nervous but the crew eased our fears and we caught channel cats as well as several 20+ lb flatheads. Would do again in a heartbeat. Great experience and time with my son.

    Great Guide snd a Better Person

    4 Hour Trip – Crappie (AM) • 2 adults

    Jason comes highly recommended if you are wanting to catch fish and learn. He went above and beyond to find fish but to also teach me so many little things that will make me a better crappie angler. Jason is very knowledgable and will put you on fish. Jason will also jave you fishing in a style that you are very confortable with. I highly recommend Jason as a guide.
