Crappie fishing has been good as well using jigs shallow from 3ft to 10ft deep on gravel and channel swings.

Fishing has been excellent here. We are averaging between 30 to 50 fish per trip. Catching bass in shad schools in 50 to 70ft of water! Hope you have a great Christmas!

Fishing has been excellent here on our lakes! The bass fishing has been exceptional! Catching lots of numbers and quality jigging in ultra deep water around baitfish. The walleye are feeding up and are fairly shallow. We are catching them on jerkbaits and swimbaits.

Ryan was a great guide! Friendly and informative. We had a nice day fishing the White River out of Beaver. I would very much like to do another trip with Ryan next time in the area.

Robbie did an excellent job, very personable and knowledgeable. Several boats were on the River/lake. The two of us actually caught 24 small to medium size trout. Robbie is very experienced and he has a few tricks up his sleeve that allowed us to catch so many fish in the short four hour spam, even with so many fishing boats on the River/Lake.

Cody was awesome. He was full of energy, and we had 10 fish in the boat with-in the first hour. We were able to catch some Rainbows on Artificial Bait, Samon Eggs, Worms, and lures. We tried 3 different locations and had success in all three. We had a couple large ones get away and that has pumped us up for our next trip. I would highly recommend taking a trip with Cody and bring a cooler to take your catch home with you.

Cody did an amazing job! He knows his stuff and has many spots to catch fish. He has a chill personality that would get along with anyone. Cody gave us pointers, answered questions, and we all shared fishing stories. I would highly recommend Cody and plan on chartering with him in the future.

Bryan was great. He was prompted when communicating prior to trip and on day of trip, he took great care of us. He helped if we asked but also taught our kids too. He was kind, experienced and all around great guide.
