We booked the Expert charter because we’ve been out several times on Santee lakes. Bobby was amazing! He put us on the catfish! 8 hour trip and went to various spots to ensure we were getting all the fish! Great personality and casual, very knowledgeable, and very helpful! Friendly captain who knows all the spots! Would highly recommend! We will be booking with him when we come back next year!

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.
