I have been fishing with Rodney on several occasions. I take my boys once a year for spoonbill and sandbass. I have also been on catfish trips. Rodney is very knowledgeable in many species of fish. We always have a great time and the boys talk about it for weeks after the trip. I would highly recommend Rodney's Guide service.
