Had a very hard working guide, caught 15 fish between 3people. But Arron wasn’t truthful about the time to fish. Our guide told us the month of may was the worse month to fish. Arron should have told me that and I could have made my trip at a better time. Terrible time when all you do is sit and wait while one person fished. Only boat on lake almost, that should tell you it...

Only boat on lake almost, that should tell you itwas a bad time to fish. It was a bad trip and my friends were even more disappointed than I was. Wouldn’t do it again, way to much money to sit all day.

My 7-year-old son and I went out to Enid Lake with Aaron and had a great day. Aaron kept my son engaged and made sure to keep him entertained. We were catching fish all day and even caught a 35lb blue cat and my personal best crappie. We fished all day using different fishing techniques like trolling, jug fishing, and live scoping. When we were done, Aaron cleaned the fish and sent us back home...

We were catching fish all day and even caught a 35lb blue cat and my personal best crappie. We fished all day using different fishing techniques like trolling, jug fishing, and live scoping. When we were done, Aaron cleaned the fish and sent us back homewith a full cooler. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we look forward to coming back and fishing more! I’d recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a fun day, and would especially recommend Aaron for those with younger kids. He made our day.

The first day was awesome good guide caught a lot of fish. Second day not the best caught fish but guide was not prepared. His batteries died after 6 hours and had to quite I felt like I got shorted time that day and we could have got more fish. He didn't have extra poles so everyone could fish. Good guide but not as prepared as first guide.

Wow, I had such a great time.
I went out with JJ and he found the fish, big fish in really tough conditions.
He taught me a lot about the live scope and is just a really great guy.
Aaron went above and beyond to set up my trip for me and it went off without any problems.
I would highly recommend these guys and have already started making plans for my next round of big fish.
At the end...
