We landed 17 fish, and the Captain made sure we stayed right on top of them. Even when the bite slowed down and the fish started circling the bait without committing, we still had a fantastic time. Great experience with an excellent guide!

This trip was fantastic. It was a hard day of fishing after a random cold front and storm came through the night before. However, Capt. Josh can still found the crappies. Capt. Josh was great in answering all questions from tactics, crappie ecology, Lanier history, and about anything else that popped up. My daughter and myself had a blast.

We had an awesome day on the water and came back with a solid haul of crappie. Fishing with Captain Josh was a real pleasure—his knowledge and experience are top-notch. The boat was spotless and comfortable, fully equipped with advanced electronics and high-quality gear.

It was bloody cold! Captain Josh is a great guide with a sense of humor. He put us on the fish all trip, but they would not bite. Many times the fish would leave their group come up sniff our lure and just leave it. We caught 3 ...pic below.

Captain Josh took my son and I out. He is very knowledgeable on the lake showing us how he locates crappie, which areas are good to fish and caught several. He is very polite and understanding. Great guy to fish with. Can't wait to go again. Thanks Captain for a great day.

Absolute blast with Capt. Josh today on Lanier catching crappie. Brought home a cooler full and threw back a bunch as well. For those of you that don’t know Capt. Josh, he donates his time to both military veterans, as well as everyday hero’s including fireman, police, and medics. Thanks a bunch Josh, we appreciate your efforts.
