This was the first charter trip for my son and me, and it couldn’t have gone better. Justin made everything easy from the start—clear instructions on where to meet, a smooth boarding process, and we were off to the first spot. Within minutes, I was reeling in my first fish of the day! As someone new to fishing, I really appreciated Justin’s help with casting while my son—the real fisherman in the family—was already in his element. I caught bass back-to-back, followed by my very first pickerel and gar—species I had never even heard of before. Such a cool and exciting moment! We took tons of photos and videos, and Justin kept cold bottled water on hand for us. The second spot had calmer water and a whole new mix of wildlife. Justin shared all kinds of info about the local birds, and we learned so much throughout the day. Using live bait was new to me too, since my son usually sticks with frogs and lures. The highlight? My son landed his personal best—a bass around 5 pounds and 21 inches. He was beyond proud. Time flew, and we honestly didn’t want the day to end. After wrapping up, we chatted a bit at the dock before heading back to the hotel. Whether you're new or experienced, Justin is the guide you want. We had a blast and can’t wait to book again. Thanks, Justin—you’ll definitely see us back!

Justin is the MAN!! He knows the lake like the back of his hand. I’ve never caught so many fish in 1 outing.I felt 100% safe with Justin. He’s very knowledgeable, patient, and polite. You won’t regret booking with Justin.

Justin knows his bass! We hit multiple spots and tried a variety of rigs—got on fish fast and caught plenty. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched the day to my experience level. I picked up some great new tips and techniques along the way. Easygoing, knowledgeable, and great to fish with. I had an awesome time on the water with Justin.
