Captain Josh took my son and I out. He is very knowledgeable on the lake showing us how he locates crappie, which areas are good to fish and caught several. He is very polite and understanding. Great guy to fish with. Can't wait to go again. Thanks Captain for a great day.

It was bloody cold! Captain Josh is a great guide with a sense of humor. He put us on the fish all trip, but they would not bite. Many times the fish would leave their group come up sniff our lure and just leave it. We caught 3 ...pic below.
