I can not recommend Capt Chad enough. I am absolutely not a fisher but Chad sure changed that. We booked him for a tournament and not only caught a bunch of fish but got a lot of laughs too. He was extremely knowledgeable about the town and knew the spots to fish. He made sure we all caught something.Chad I sincerely thank you for an excellent trip. I hope to see you again next year!

Booked a trip with 2 other guys hoping to do some wading and chunking lures. Our Guide was there on time ready to go. The 24' boat was clean, comfortable and there was plenty of room for storage. We waded various spots & had a great time on the water with our Captain. Highly recommended

We had an enjoyable time and successfully caught several fish during our outing. Captain Chad has been our go-to fishing guide for the past three years, and he has consistently delivered great results by guiding us to productive fishing spots. We are definitely planning to book another fishing trip with him soon.
