Great day on the water. Between the 4 of us we caught over 20 fish. Most of the fish were 15lbs and above. A flathead that weighed over 20lbs. Awesome trip. You can't go wrong with Captain Bob's Guide Service. We highly recommend them.

Was a excellent trip honestly. I heard fishing was tuff the day before, our guide put us on fish and now I got some fish to clean. Bring your own food and water of course maybe also a small cooler for those items. Guide did a great job and when we return I'm sure will get back on the water with him.

My party and I had an awesome time. We caught fish and had great conversations. Captain Bobby knows the lake in detail and explained to us in detail how our day was going to go and he was spot on. Good job Captain Bobby. I'll see u again in October.

Bobby provided a great trip. He put us on the fish and we caught plenty to take home with us. We plan on going back out with him in the future.

We had a great time with Bobby. We fished hard and it was a beautiful day. Plan on coming back in the spring to try to catch some bigger ones and may even try out the Cat fishing too. Bobby is very knowledgeable and is a excellent guide. I would highly recommend him for all levels of fishermen.

I took my 82 year old father on a striper trip with Captain Bobby. We are both experienced saltwater fishermen but fairly inexperienced when it comes to freshwater. Bobby explained his travel patterns and why he fished at certain spots. He was also very patient with his father who enjoys fishing but is slowing down.
