Jonathan is an awesome guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about bass fishing and uses that knowledge to find where the big ones are hiding out based on weather, time of year, time of day, etc. He taught us how to cast into different types of locations for best placement of the bait and how to work the bait to attract bites.

Jonathan is an awesome guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about bass fishing and uses that knowledge to find where the big ones are hiding out based on weather, time of year, time of day, etc. He taught us how to cast into different types of locations for best placement of the bait and how to work the bait to attract bites. My son and I are novice bass anglers and Jonathan was super patient with us, teaching us how to cast properly and get up to speed. Even though he’s a very accomplished sport fisherman Jonathon was never arrogant or impatient with us newbies. He was focused only on us having a great time fishing. One thing I didn’t think about going in but turned out really important is that he has an awesome high end bass boat. We went from spot to spot at high speed so no time wasted. Additionally, he has a setup that allows him to move the boat around a fishing spot at low speed, hands free, while he helps us with our fishing and fishes some himself, showing how it’s done. We used this capability to circle a large patch of lily pads and fish the entire patch. And the whole time he is talking to us and demonstrating techniques and showing where to cast into the patch. I would heartily recommend going fishing with Jonathan! Hope to do it again soon.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
