Meeting locations are determined before the trip based on where the fishing has been best.

Choose from 3, 4, or 5-hour trips with morning and afternoon options available. These trips are a great fit for everyone from families and young anglers to experienced bass fishermen, with Captain Dave happy to provide hands-on instruction along the way.

Rods, reels, tackle, bottled water, and ice are provided. Artificial lures can be used, while live wild shiners are highly recommended for anglers looking to maximize their chances at both numbers and quality fish. Live bait is available for an additional charge, and trips with four anglers are live bait only.

All Largemouth Bass trips are catch and release.

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.
