Had a blast on the water today. Tough day of fishing, but that’s part of it! One of the friendliest and knowledgeable guides I’ve been on the water with. Will absolutely be booking another trip soon! Treated my 11 year old son like he was one of his own. Very appreciative of making a new friend in the fishing world!
