Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 23, 2025
My 18-year-old son and I went on an early morning fishing trip with Captain Bob, and it was a fantastic experience! We caught several fish, shared quality time, and really enjoyed chatting and fishing with Bob. He came fully prepared with plenty of gear and was an excellent host throughout the trip. We’re already planning to come back—with the whole family and my son’s college friends too!
June 23, 2025
Took my son on his very first fishing trip, and Captain Bob made it unforgettable! My son caught his first fish in no time and reeled it in all by himself—and it was a big one. Captain Bob was patient, friendly, and made the whole experience special for both of us. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing day on the lake and the memories we’ll always cherish!
June 23, 2025
My son and I had a fantastic day on the lake, landing some great fish and enjoying the beautiful weather. It was the perfect way to spend time together. Big thanks to Bob for sharing his knowledge and skills with us—if we didn’t live so far away, we’d be out there all the time!
June 23, 2025
My 22-year-old son and I have fished together all over—Colorado, Utah, Texas, British Columbia, England, and even Costa Rica—but the day we spent with Captain Bob was truly something special. If we’re chasing Stripers on Lake Texoma again, there’s no question—we’ll be booking with him.
June 23, 2025
The weather was brutal—cold and windy—but Captain Bob went above and beyond to make the best of it. He took us to baited spots and did everything he could to put us on fish, even though they weren’t biting much that day. Still, it was a solid trip. Bob took great care of us and was a genuinely great guy. We’ll definitely be back when the fish are more active!
June 23, 2025
The fish weren’t biting at first, but he went the extra mile to make sure my kid had a great birthday fishing trip. We’ll definitely be booking again!
