I've been an avid fisherman for more than 30 years. I've also tournament fished for bass and crappie for decades. I opened my charter company in 2018 after retiring from a corporate career. Importantly, my background in teaching and training in the corporate world coupled with the fishing knowledge I've built up over time has helped me create a great experience for customers.

    Amazing!!

    4 Hour AM Fishing Charter • 6 adults

    We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Chris and his daughter, Addi! Their knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and easygoing personalities made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We had a great time catching fish all morning, Bass and Carappie. To top it off, they cleaned and filleted everything we caught, which was such a nice bonus. If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free fishing trip with experienced guides who truly care about their guests, we can’t recommend Captain Chris and Addi highly enough. We would absolutely book with them again!

    Reported catch:
    Crappie
    White Bass
    Largemouth Bass

    Beyond expectations!

    8 Hour Fishing Charter • 2 adults

    Often times when booking trips you never set your expectations too high for fear of disappointment. I assure you when you book a trip with Captain Chris you will not be disappointed, Captain Chris goes above and beyond to make sure you're having a great experience. His knowledge of the lake and fishing techniques are phenomenal. We caught more and better. fish than I would have ever dreamed of on this lake. You can't go wrong with Barber Guide Service.

    Reported catch:

    Productive and relaxing trip

    4 Hour AM Fishing Charter • 5 adults • 2 children

    Capt Chris was very knowledgeable, and outgoing !st Mate Rachel always had a smile on her face and worked very hard to make this a fun trip for my grandkids...not the best time of year to Crappie fish but we caught some very nice fish, once Capt Chris was able to locate them rascals. If your looking to have a good time on the water and catch some fish you can't go wrong booking this crew.
