He especially enjoys fishing with beginners to this sport and seeing their newly found passion and enthusiasm.

Bobby was an excellent guide. He put us on fish and he baited out lines and took the fish off. He was a good conversationalist and provided good information about the local area. Will definitely try and book him again when we return.
