    THIS MAN WILL PUT YOU ON SOME FISH!!

    3/4 Day Trip • 3 adults

    I'm 64 and this was one of the Best fishing trips I have ever had! Jody is the Perfect Guide, dedicated, hard working, laid back and willing to answer our questions most guides would never do. He even hooked up planer boards to show me how they worked after I asked about them, they worked so good I bought a pair at his bait shop, Jody's Bait Shop, where they have nice, lively Blue back Herring we used that day and other things for your day on the water. After 10 minutes on the water with Jody it felt like had known each other for years, just a real down to earth person that will do EVERYTHING possible to make sure your trip is the best ever. we caught 6 different species of fish between the thee of us and took home our limit of stripers and hybrids. We also caught a white bass, spotted bass, largemouth bass, and a perch. Thank You Jody and you all need to give him a call, you won't regret it. Thanks, Mike Marciel. P.S. We'll see you again Jody, keep a tight line.
