Catfish 10/08/2025
Had Mark, Marcus, and Rory out today for catfish. We hammered the Channel Catfish, putting 50 in the boat in 2 hours, then moved to Blues. The Blues didn't cooperate today, but the amazing weather made it all worth it. The boat ramps have huge shade basically all day currently. perfect bait for catfishing.
Ratings & Reviews Summary
November 27, 2025
I recently went on a guided fishing trip with Zach and his co-guide Andrew and genuinely, I only have good things to say. Both of them were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I think we caught over 30 decent sized cat fish. They did a great job instructing me on the proper techniques, explained how they set routes and find spots, and even explained how their gear worked. This trip really boosted my confidence as a fisher. Every question I asked had a competent answer, every mistake I made was corrected in a very polite and professional manner. It was also a nice bonus that Zach had cleaned and filleted the fish for me when the trip concluded. I like to cook but I can’t say I’m a very good butcher so it was quite nice to not have to do that myself. They were also genuinely cool guys to hang out with and they kept the trip as fun as it was educational. I also would like to mention that the boat Zach uses was quite comfortable and decently sized so there was no cramped feeling whatsoever. I generally get claustrophobic easily and I was concerned about that, however, that was absolutely not an issue. If you want to up your fishing game, I cannot recommend these fellas enough.

Had an awesome time fishing with Zach! He was professional without being boring. Super easy to get along with, great personality, and incredibly patient. We ended up catching over 50 catfish, which made for an unforgettable day on the water. Zach was prompt, had everything prepped and ready to go, and made the whole experience smooth and fun. 10/10 would book again and already planning to come back in the spring!
