Full Day trip on the New River.

Full Day Trip2 adults

Highly recommend. I caught a 17.5 inch smallmouth bass. My wife and I caught about 15 other nice small mouth bass as well. Lunch was delicious, cold cut sandwiches, salad, potato salad and chips. Guide is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Thanks amok and Maribel for a great day on the river. It was a pleasure getting to know you both and I look forward to seeing you in the spring when we get to chase the big smallies on top water.

    Beautiful Day

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had a beautiful, great morning fishing with Tommy! The area is beautiful, the weather was perfect, Tommy is very personable and we saw many fish (the water was that clear) and did catch some Smallmouth Bass.

    Tommy was amazing

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    First Time on the River… and It Was One for the Books I’ve been fishing most my life—but never on a river. So this trip meant something different. Something new. But what made it unforgettable wasn’t just the fish—it was who we fished with. Captain Tommy didn’t sugarcoat it. He told us from the jump—it might be tough fishing. He wasn’t trying to sell us a dream. He was honest, and that’s rare these days. But here’s the part that really got me: Tommy didn’t just guide us. He shared stories. He laughed with us. He taught us. He was patient. Real patient. Especially with me and my boy who’d never touched river water with a rod in hand. And man… he worked. No shortcuts. No coasting. He gave us everything he had. And it paid off. We landed our first smallmouth bass. Together. As a dad, that moment hit different. It wasn’t just about catching fish. It was about creating a memory that my son and I will talk about for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a captain who’s not just going to take your money but actually cares about giving you an experience—you found your guy. Captain Tommy. Thank you. You gave me more than a day on the water—you gave me a moment with my son I’ll never forget

    John/Trey thank you guys so much for allowing me to do what I love. I’m so glad to have met you both and look forward to getting together again in FL and learning your area of expertise that we are novice to. It was my pleasure to put you both on your first smallmouth bass. It’s addictive, so beware lol!
