“I love river and flowage trips, I love showing people all the different patterns and techniques I use and allow customers to interact so they can learn how to catch walleye.” -Guide Ryan Hahn, Keep It Reelin Guide Service

“First light 5 hour trout bite in May. The fish come alive as the sun touches the river. Many anglers are still in bed as the river comes to life and the fishing is red hot.” -Captain Jason Reichler, CT Pin Fishing Guide Service

“Striper because it can be fast and furious action!" -Captain James Weeks, Reel N Time Fishing Charters

Upstate New York Trout fishing with Upstate Guide Service

“The St. Lawrence River is a veritable fish factory. This river is one of the largest in the United States and provides a vast resource for the northeast angler. As ground zero for muskellunge, The St. Lawrence river boasts one of, if not the, healthiest populations of mega gamefish anywhere in the country. The smallmouth bass fishing is unrivaled.  Professional tournament series bass venues have begun to dominate this fishery in recent years. 
Smallmouths averaging five pounds are common and the single largest daily bag ever recorded in tournament history was taken on the St. Lawrence/Lake Ontario waters in 2021. With hundreds of miles of river shoals, islands, bays, and inlets to explore, the St. Lawrence River is truly an anglers paradise. Great fishing for northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and muskellunge await the anxious angler!” -Captain Mike Crawford, Upstate Guide Service

“Guided Striper trips on Lake Texoma, Oklahoma." -Guide Troy Ellefson, Troy's Guide Service

“1/2 day drifting trip. I have great success drifting over reefs and structures.” -Captain Joe Guerra, Bay Finatic Fishing Guide Service

“1/2 day bay with the kids or family. Love seeing the family happy!!” -Captain Larry Miller, Fishin' All The Time Guide Service

“Inshore fishing. Because you get a good variety of quality fish- snook, redfish, grouper, snapper, jacks, sharks, mackerel, triple tail, and cobia." -Captain Steven Swindal, Florida Raised Fishing Adventures

Crystal River mixed bag with Morris Aquatic Charters

“My favorite trip that I offer has to be a full day fishing. With that trip, it is an 8-hour adventure on the water. For a full day, I get the freedom of time to really venture into every type of fishing and location that we have available here on the wonderful Nature Coast out of Crystal River. Hopping rock piles and ledges catching mangrove snapper, gag grouper, cobia, and hogfish. Drifting the open flats targeting spotted seatrout, sand trout, and spanish mackerel. Chasing back into the mangroves and creeks spotting redfish and snook. The best part for me is getting to know and entertain new friends out on the water while showing them this is why I call this place home.” -Vince Morris, Morris Aquatic Charters
