Superb fishing trip.

Half Day Trip (PM) – Bass2 adults

Fantastic fishing trip in october with a very nice experienced captain and not only how he navigates the superb fishing boat from hotspot to hotspot but also as a fisherman. He throws the lures between the branches of the dead trees and catches the fish if it is nothing. The lake is full of fish like Gold carps, Largemouth bass and many more fish. The nature is beautiful and around dusk there were many fish jumping on the surface. It is pity the lake is low because of many drought years but still there are plenty fish to catch even when the weather or wind is not the best to catch fish. The drinks, sandwiches and homemade cake by the captains wife were delicious. My wife did join me and she don't like to fish but in the comfortable chair she did enjoy the whole trip and also for the phone addicts there is enough reach😉 We did caught fish and of course C&R to protect stocks in the years to come. The captain even caught a Gold carp with a plastic worm. I recommend everybody who like to fish or just be on the water and enjoy the silence and nature to book a trip.

    Catching Bass 🎣

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Bass • 1 adult

    Excellent fishing trip! Even though it was the slow season for bass fishing, we still caught over 13 fish. Captain Joaquim worked hard to keep us on fish and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The snacks were delicious, and the beer was nice and cold—a perfect addition to a great day on the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience!
