Great trip. He kept us on the fish the whole trip. Work with 10 yo grandson to keep him involved and catching great stripers.  Might have to become a family tradition.

Brad was great! Me and my two sons went with Brad for a 5 hour trip on a Saturday morning and caught 6 stripers up to 18lbs! He found fish early and was constantly moving around and adjusting our approach to keep us catching. Brad is knowledgeable, friendly and taught us quite a bit about striper techniques throughout the trip. I would highly recommend going with Brad if you want to catch Stripers on Lanier!

I had been wanting to take my 14 year old daughter fishing, and I had no idea where to start with a guided trip. I rolled the dice and simply used google ratings as my deciding factor. Turns out that was a pretty good idea. Despite the great weather conditions, we got off to a slow start, but as the saying goes, it's called fishin' not catchin'. Captain Brad's persistence paid off as he got us onto some nice spotted bass, and my daughter was able to bring in her first striped bass. Two thumbs up for a great trip, we enjoyed the process!

Incredible time!

We booked a charter with Brad yesterday for my son's birthday and we had a BLAST! Capt Brad used his Humminbird (!!) system to put us right on the fish. He could tell us exactly when we were about to get hit with incredible accuracy. He works every minute of the charter... from baiting the hooks, to instructing technique, to communicating with other guides to get us on fish. Was very impressed! Thank you Captain Brad!

Had a great day out on the lake with this guide. He put us on the fish all day! Very helpful and pleasant guide. Definitely recommend giving him a try.
