Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 26, 2024
We had a wonderful day today with Southern Sun Guides. The boat was well equipped enough to spend her day on the water. We started our half day fishing early and Chad got us on the fish right away. We caught fish all day long. Today I caught 58 fish including 5 raccoons and 1 blue catfish. Chad was an excellent guide and took great care of us today. I highly recommend him as a guide. I will definitely use him again for rockfish fishing.

Chad is a very polite and kind guide. Great guy to work with!

I got more than expected. Chad got us on the fish right away. I started rockfish from the first cast. I kept 5 good ones to take home, but caught many more. He also took us on a river tour and he knew his stuff. You have to know what you're doing on that river and he knows it. He even helped some fishermen who got stuck in rocks.
