This marks my inaugural experience in bay fishing. Prior to this expedition, I had consistently attempted fishing at the lake, but my efforts had been consistently unsuccessful. However, under the guidance of Captain Corey, I was able to successfully catch five large redfish. I extend my sincere gratitude for the invaluable experience you provided.

Our trip with Captain Cory was absolutely fantastic! I brought my 8-year-old twin boys, who are obsessed with fishing, and this experience exceeded our expectations completely. Captain Cory was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and memorable for the kids. He took the time to teach them, keep them engaged, and celebrate every catch—big or small. His passion for fishing and working with kids really shows, and my sons felt happy the whole time. They haven't stopped talking about it since, and they've already asked when they can go back. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you're looking for a family-friendly fishing adventure, Captain Cory is the one to book! Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back for the next year!

Captain Russell is an amazing fishing guide! If you hire him, there’s no need for all the fancy tech gear — he’s like a fish whisperer. I don’t know how he does it, but he can spot fish like no one else. He knows fishing better than anyone and will find you that honey hole. We started the day slow, but thanks to Captain Russell’s experience and determination, we filled our limits before lunch! Not only did we end up with the best guide and an unforgettable experience, but we also felt like we made a friend. Book him before someone else does — we’ll definitely be back and booking Captain Russell again. Great guy, highly recommend!
