I have been out with Destin a few times over the past couple of years and it has been nothing short of an amazing experience. Destin is very open with his knowledge on bass fishing which has helped me become better at fishing overall. 5 out of 5 every time!

April 4, 2025

Destin put me on some of the largest Smallmouth I've ever caught, and I've caught a lot of smallies in my 70 years (Minnesota/Wisc.). The Lake Trout trips sound interesting, especially if I can connect with a few large burbot. I look forward to fishing with him again!

I’ve been out with Destin a few times and look forward to many more. He is a true fish whisperer and overall good person. My girlfriend and I both have caught our PB smallmouth on his boat and I have been fishing smallmouth my entire life. He knows his stuff!!

April 4, 2025

I’ve been on Lake Erie with Destin three times! If you are hesitant about the trip or fishing with a guide, don’t be. Destin is a true professional and really knows Lake Erie smallmouth. Even your first time out on the water with Destin, you’ll feel like you’re fishing with an old friend. He’s willing to pass on information that can be used on your next solo trip. Fishing experience-5 stars………Destin as a man-5 stars Mike Whiteman

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable. We had a great time even in wet, cold, windy conditions Destin found the smallies. Highly recommend.
