Carson was a great guide with plentiful of knowledge of the lake Tillery. He informed me about fish behavior and how it impacts the probability to be able to be successful. It was my first experience with the live scan and I love it. With live scan you can see the behavior of fish and how they travel through the waterway, increasing your chances of landing one. Would highly recommend Carson for your fishing trips...

The good: Guide was friendly

The bad: The live scope he used was in the front of boat where there was not room for two people to be comfortably. When this is the method used for finding fish there should be ways for all clients to utilize that. Long story short, we left with 13 fish but Carson caught them all himself.

When this is the method used for finding fish there should be ways for all clients to utilize that. Long story short, we left with 13 fish but Carson caught them all himself. His reply to my disappointment was “I’m sorry you’re disappointed that a live fish didn’t cooperate and that’s why it’s called fishing not catching”. If I wanted to watch someone else catch fish to “give” to me I certainly wouldn’t have paid $350. I feel his boat should be set up to comfortably accompany the 3 people that can be on there with the same advantage that he has. The last guided tour I took, the captain never dropped a hook. He pointed out the fish and allowed us to catch them.

Trip: Crappie In Badin Lake

Response from Carson:
I am sorry you did not enjoy your day on the lake. When your husband left he told me how great of a time he had and we would do it again in the summer. My deck on my boat has room for three to fish up front comfortably like 100s of people have before you. You husband simply did not want to stand on the front deck and fish like I offered him many...

Response from Carson:

I am sorry you did not enjoy your day on the lake. When your husband left he told me how great of a time he had and we would do it again in the summer. My deck on my boat has room for three to fish up front comfortably like 100s of people have before you. You husband simply did not want to stand on the front deck and fish like I offered him many times. If he would have taken the time to stand and fish next to me the outcome would have been different. I did catch 13 fish trying to teach your husband how to catch them in 30 minutes of fishing. The rest of the day was dedicated to him and his father and I took them to the bank so they could sit down and fish. They did not catch a thing and that is simply because the fish are offshore and they showed no interest in fishing that way. Thank you and I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.
