    Had a great time on the lake. The weather was a little off but Capt. Joe knew all the right spots to go. We will definitely go again when the weather gets better.

    I had a fun early morning fishing trip with Joe! He knows the lake like the back of his hand so he took me to some of his best spots! The fish weren’t biting too much in a number of the spots but were were able to catch a handful in the end. He taught me about a number of jigs and baits used for this time of year the Bass are biting on, which was awesome to learn! Overall a great experience and definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to go catch some Bass and for a great fishing experience!

    We had an absolutely incredible time on our fishing trip, thanks to our amazing guides, Milton and Chuey! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They knew all the best spots and made sure my dad and I felt comfortable and included. Their attention to detail, safety, and hospitality made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. The gear was top-notch, the boat was spotless, and the scenery was breathtaking. We learned a lot, laughed even more, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and rewarding day on the water. Can’t wait to book with them again!
