Zach and Russell did an outstanding job making sure my friend and I were well taken care of during our fishing trip. Even though we didn't catch anything, it was certainly not for lack of effort from these two. They went above and beyond to try to hook a big one, though I must admit, I let one slip away! Their knowledge of the area, expertise in fishing, and great personalities made the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend them and plan to join them again soon. Thank you for an incredible day, Zach and Russell!
