Had a blast out on the lake today with Aaron. We hooked three bass our first half hour and it only got better from there. Even though my wife and I have virtually no fishing experience, Aaron was very patient and instructive. We fished in several different spots, targeted a variety of catch and got a tour of Decker Lake in a fast boat. Great guy.

Captain Aaron was awesome. My son and I had a great time, caught some high quality bass, and learned a lot thanks to Aaron. We are looking forward to bookingwith him again.
