I have always loved to fish. I used to drive to the lake and sit and wait just to see if anyone needed a partner in the tournaments often times I would get picked up. I got the opportunity through guide Mike Gold who set me up to start working with Eric's elite guide service. Gold helped me become a guide and it changed my life for the better. It's not about what you know it's about who you know .

    Best fishing ever!

    3 hour trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our family had an amazing time on this fishing excursion! Everyone caught several large fish, and it was honestly some of the most fun we’ve ever had together. Our guide was kind, professional, and knew several great fishing spots that kept the action going. He was also incredibly helpful, baiting hooks and taking fish off for anyone who needed assistance, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area!

    Reported catch:

    Smallmouth Bass
    White Bass

    Incredible experience! 6 Stars , yes 6 STARS

    3 hour trip • 3 adults

    Captain Mike was warm , gracious and made you feel like we had known each other for years. He is an award winning fisherman who has competed at the highest levels. He boat is immaculate, fast and has every device to get you on the fish pronto! On top of it , he has hosted a top NFL owner, but he would not divulge the name. This was our first time fishing in this area and his knowledge and wisdom make the experience exceptional. Brian and my two teen sons

    I am so thankful to have found Captain Jacob Wade of Real Deal Guide Service! He put my 12 year old son on 2 huge spoonbill, and made a little boys dreams come true. The boat was exceptional, and Captain Jacob was professional, extremely knowledgeable and was so kind to my to my son and I. Truly one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. I highly recommend him and we will definitely be back next year to fish with Real Deal Guide service! A+++++!

    Having Mike Gold take us out we incredible from the start. He really focused on making our son the center of the morning, just like we asked. Caught about 30 fish that morning, mostly bass and the whole family spent time reeling them in.

    Captain Joe was fantastic. Very patient and helpful with two first time spoonbill fishermen. He got us on the fish and we got our limit. My son and I had a phenomenal time.

    Had a great time with Capt Wes on Table Rock! Weather was nicer than the bite, but Wes kept up on fish all morning. Came home with a nice walleye and some XL bluegill.

    Capt. Aaron had me on the fish ASAP and we had a blast. Caught my 1st walleye and a ton of bass. Set a new PB on the BASS. Aaron knew of so many spots and very knowledgeable of the lake and fish. Well prepared, equipment was great and technology on point.
