Fishing is not easy, but some fishes elude even the most talented of sports fishers! Experienced anglers look for species that can make fishing more adventurous for them. They don’t want to just “throw hooks and catch the easiest fish”. These anglers want to catch something for bragging rights. For that adventure head angler here’s the list of some of the most challenging freshwater and saltwater catches.

With a professional angler by your side you might be able to land one without requiring thousand casts or five hours.

Marlin Fish

Every fisher will tell you that catching a blue marlin is one of his or her greatest fishing accomplishments. There are three species of marlin which are all beauties.

This species prefers to dive deep and warm waters. Troll the bait at a speed of about 8.5 knots. Marlins prefer live baits, but there are tackles made to lure them in.

Marlin also are known to fight particularly hard after they strike! The largest may tip the scales at over 500 kg!

Wahoo

Wahoo live in the warm waters of Florida and Louisiana. The warmer weather seasons are the best time to fish for them. Part of what makes it the most difficult fish to catch is its speed– they can swim up to 60 miles an hour! Use a planer to troll 12, 14, or up to 16 or 20 knots.

Each expert has their own technique. Some use dead bait, others use live baits, and some swear by dragging multiple lures. During low tide, go for 200 to 400 feet depth. However, during the last part of the incoming tide and the first part of an outgoing tide, the fish will congregate around inlets.

Another challenge in baiting a Wahoo is their strength. Be sure you have a firm grip because these guys may be able to hurl a fisherman off the boat!

Tarpon

Tarpons are one of the trophy list fish, and every serious fisher remembers the first time they caught one! This species is also known as the Silver King. The like warm summer months, particularly June, that’s a great time to try to catch them.

They will fight and jump once you catch one on the line. To hook one, have at least a 30 lb line and crab or fish live bait. Tarpons are caught in piers or shallows many times. Troll the line at slow speeds, from 1.5 miles to 2.5 miles.

Dolphin Fish

This species goes by a few names, including Mahi-Mahi and Dorado. They are fast swimmers and many know how to avoid a hook. These fish live in subtropical and tropical waters between 68 Fahrenheit and 83 Fahrenheit.

Catching them means you should know they are surface dwellers and may be easier to spot near weed lines or temperature breaks. Cut fish of any kind, squid and ballyhoo make for good mahi-mahi bait. Use 30 to 50 lb line and troll usually no more than 6. Mahi means “strong” in Hawaiian, and you will see where they get their name once they strike! They have a distinct shape and are very popular for eating.

Permit

Found in shallow waters and subtropical areas, permits can be the most difficult yet prized catch. These fish can be easy to spot but they are adept at throwing a line or pushing away hooks. While they can grow to approximately 20 lbs many skilled fishers consider them to be a challenge.

Experts recommend using the trolling motor as infrequently as possible. Use bait like live crabs or dead crabs or lobster.

Tuna

Tuna are notoriously difficult to catch. These fish can survive in cold water and can dive to depths from 500 feet to 1000 feet. Troll for tuna between 4.5 knots and 7.5 knots. Live baiting with mullet, herring, blue runners and other fish is often successful.

This fish can be spooked easily and they have good eyesight which makes them a challenge to hook.

Goliath Tigerfish

Goliath Tigerfish lives in Africa and is an extremely large predatory hardest freshwater fish. Because its range is limited to the Congo, it is very hard to find. Jeremy Wade hosted a special about it in Animal Planet which documented his journey to catch one.

Their distinctive razor-sharp teeth and strong jaws make them dangerous, and they will shred bait. Experts recommend surface fishing for this unique species. Lures are ideal to catch this fish which puts up quite the fight once they are on the line.

Bass

Bass is one of the much-hyped fish out there, for any adventure head angler. Largemouth bass grows bigger and can be fun to search out in cover. Smallmouth bass is much more aerial acrobatics and puts up a better fight pound-for-pound.

Bass is also a sport fish. This doesn’t mean that you cannot catch Bass with beer by your side and line in your hand. What it means is that Bass is so unpredictable that on its day it can put experienced anglers to shame and some days even casual anglers can catch it like a small fish.

Smallmouth is often known as “Brown Bass,” while Largemouth is nicknamed “Green Bass.” In reality, though, both can vary in color depending on their age, location, and a bunch of other factors.

Fishing Miami: Your Passport to the Best Fishing Spots in Miami

Miami Beach Fishing, Charter Head Boat, Dolphin Fishing, Drift Fishing, Grouper Fishing, iOutdoors Blog, Party Boat Fishing, Shark Fishing, Snook Fishing, Sword Fishing, Tarpon Fishing, Tuna Fishing

Best Fishing Spots in MiamiWhat brings people to Miami? White sand beaches, tons of sunshine, vibrant nightlife, fresh food? Yeah, all of that. Fishing Miami is an afterthought for many, but not for us. Whether you venture through the mangroves or explore undersea shipwrecks for Swordfish, you’ll find a fishing culture as abundant as the one on land.

What Can You Catch in Miami?

If you’re unfamiliar with fishing in South Florida, you won’t know the best fishing spots in Miami. So you might be unsure of what to expect when you throw your line out. You’ll be happy to know that Miami is full of amazing (and huge) fish. Just as Miami’s culture is bustling with diversity and affluence, the waters are much of the same. Let’s check out the top catches of Miami.

Grouper

Beneath the surface of Miami’s crystal blue water is hundreds of wrecks and reefs inhabiting some delicious bottom feeders. You can expect to find Black, Red, and Gag Grouper all over the place, and that’s good news for anyone coming here to sample some of what Miami has to offer.

These fish are some of the prime targets for frequent anglers, but if you’re looking for something a bit more unique, you can travel a few miles out and find rare Snowy and Scamp groupers.

That said, there’s one fish that everyone travels here for, and it’s the Goliath Grouper. These monsters can weigh as much as 200 pounds or more, so if you’re planning your trip around locating one of these, you’ll want to bring some seriously heavy tackle. We recommend chartering a boat and recruiting the help of a local expert if this is your plan because they know the best fishing spots in Miami.

Tarpon

If you’ve got a smaller boat and you’re sticking to the shallow water, you can bring in a few Tarpon. While we make it sound easy, they’re a bit challenging to catch because they’re hard to find, and they put up quite a fight.

During the summer months is when you can find them most frequently around Biscayne Bay, but the problem is, most visitors travel here during the cold weather months and expect to find Tarpon. You can, you just have to know where to look.

These shallow water behemoths reach around 100 pounds, but if you’re looking for an enjoyable fishing experience, target the smaller and more aggressive fish in the 20-40 pound range.

Swordfish

South Beach created swordfishing, and you can find some of the best swordfish anglers on the planet in this area of the country. If you’re interested in catching a fish with that “wow” factor that you can share with your buddies on social media, you’ll want to start fishing in South Beach Miami.

A few miles away from the shore, the water dips deeper, and the warmth from the Gulf Stream is what makes this the perfect environment for pelagic fish and certainly Swordfish. They’re active during the day and at night throughout most of the year, so expect to find them, the challenge is getting them into the boat.

Sailfish

Traveling a few extra miles out to the deep sea brings upon new challenges. Sailfish draw hundreds if not thousands of people to Miami each year to take on one of the greatest fishing challenges imaginable. They are the fastest fish around, and their incredible multi-colored sail real makes for an amazing fishing experience.

All the locals possess the best fishing spots in Miami, but they will tell you that kite fishing is the way to catch these beautiful creatures. It’s a strategy similar to trolling that requires you to skip the bait amongst the surface until you see the sail pop out of the water.

Fishing for these isn’t the kind of fishing where you leave your line out there and sit back and drink a beer, you need to keep your eyes on the water and pay attention to that sail

African Pompano

If you’re the kind of person who likes to stray off the beaten path and go for something a little different, African Pompano are available in Miami – but not in abundance. Many local anglers tell stories about how many of these they missed, but they’re never 100% sure until they pull them into the boat.

These incredible fish inhabit shipwrecks around 300 feet out, and they put up a fight, unlike any other. The reason these fish are so desirable is for their taste. They have thick fleshy meat, and they eat a very clean diet, so it makes them taste fresher than some of the other coastal varieties. Many anglers compare it to eating a steak.

Bass Fishing Miami

While so many people travel to Miami to take on everything the sea offers, an often forgotten treat happens inland in the canals and lakes that Dade County has to offer. Fishing Miami requires a “thinking outside the box” attitude. Grab your best bass fishing reel and rod and take a quick trip away from the salt spray with us.

Urban Canal Fishing for Peacock Bass

These are popular freshwater fish caught along the banks of many of the canals throughout South Florida. Many of the locals use a variety of different tackle ranging from live baitfish to artificial swimbaits and flies. Peacocks prefer live bait and most of the best lures used in catching largemouth bass, but the experts don’t recommend using plastic worms.

South Florida Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are a popular catch anywhere East of the Rockies, and that’s due to their incredible acrobatic fighting power. Locals recommend using plastic worms, jigs, and spinnerbaits when the weather is mild. You’ll have the most success during the fall and spring months when the heat isn’t too hot, and the coastal breeze is calmer.

Top Fishing Spots in Miami

There is no shortage of great places when fishing Miami, so let’s talk about specifics. When you visit, where are you going?

Biscayne Bay – If you’re chasing Tarpon inshore, this is where you want to go. You’ve got shallow waters, channels, and mangroves, and that makes Biscayne Bay the ideal environment for Tarpon. Best of all, you have a variety of options for how you want to fish. Cast from the shore, take out a kayak or explore on a boat.

Bache Shoal Reef – If you’re taking a boat off the shore, you’ll want to check out the wrecks around Bache Shoal. It’s a popular diving and snorkeling area so you’ll want to fish here when it’s not tourist season. Spear and kite fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and Sailfish is most popular.

Liberty Ship (O.L. Bodenhamer) – This is a sunken ship around 370 feet deep, and it offers some of the biggest game fishing available on the coast. It’s an artificial reef that draws a lot of attention and produces a large number of Sailfish and Swordfish all year long.

Miami Fishing Guide

So, you know what to catch and where to catch it, but how do you plan on getting your line in the water? You have a few different methods when fishing in Miami.

From the Boat

If you plan to get anywhere near anything like Tarpon, Swordfish, or Sailfish, you’ll need to take a boat out a couple of hundred feet. You’ll have some heavy gear, and you’ll likely need a sturdy boat to handle to fight and keep everyone safe.

The most affordable way to get the best offshore fishing experience in Miami is by joining a drift boat or party boat. You’ll have an opportunity to meet other people traveling through the area, and when everyone splits the cost, it’s much more affordable to fish Miami the right way.

From the Shore

Most people think you have to get out beyond the surf to catch fish in Miami, and that’s not true. With the many inshore fishing opportunities in canals and lakes, you can set up shop on the shore and catch plenty of Largemouth, Peacock, Snook, and Bonefish.

It’s worth mentioning that the heavy tourist industry has hurt many of the fishing opportunities here, and much of the canal and beach space is privately owned, so you can’t fish there. Just keep your eyes open for signs stating that.

Kayak Fishing

For a well-rounded experience, you could fish the canals with a kayak. There are even guided tours. Fishing this method allows you to get a workout in while targeting Snook and Redfish inshore. Of course, you can’t bring along as much gear, but the whole experience makes it worthwhile even if you don’t catch anything!

How to Charter a Boat in Miami

If you haven’t realized it by now, we’ll clear it up for you. Fishing in Miami is amazing, and there’s no shortage of incredible fishing opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels. The best way to get the whole experience is through using a guided fishing charter. The local captains will help ensure you get a full taste of what South Beach waters have to offer.

Best of all, chartering a boat in Miami isn’t as expensive as you think. You can take your whole family on the water, and the guides will take their years of experience fishing these waters and put you on the best fishing spots in Miami to work.

They’ll take you right where the fish are, hook you up with the necessary gear and tackle, and many even guarantee you catch something before heading back to the dock.

With the diversity of fish, abundant opportunities, and jet blue sky, it’s no wonder why people are fishing Miami all year long.

What is Mahi Mahi Fish? How Cook Mahi Mahi, Catching and Preparing!

Dolphin Fishing, iOutdoors Blog, Islamorada Fishing, Key West Fishing, Miami Beach Fishing, Offshore Fishing

Catching and Preparing Mahi Mahi

Important, when we are talking about Mahi Mahi fish, we are talking about the Mahi fish, unrelated to the marine mammal bottlenose dolphin. It’s known by most people from their Hawaiian name, Mahi Mahi. But also their Pacific coast name Dorado or Cryphaena Hippurus and better known in Florida and along the US East coast as a dolphin. This amazing fish is hard fighting, good tasting, and a fast-growing renewable ocean resource. One of the fastest-growing fish in the ocean, Mahi or Dolphin have a voracious appetite and is easy to entice to strike slow trolled artificial lures and if hooked and kept near the boat will bring others close by schooling dolphin in for a snack.

Mahi can be found practically worldwide and are a dinner-time favorite everywhere. The southeast coast of Florida and the Keys are some of the best Dolphin fishing waters available. Much like Sailfish, both know for their great dorsal fin and as a pelagic species of Dolphin fish, which means they roam the open ocean. They prefer warmer waters and the prime location for catching Mahi Mahi fish is the Gulfstream along the East Coast of Florida.

Best tactics for catching Mahi

It has always been a great summertime pleasure for me to troll for dolphin fish with artificial lures rigged with frozen ballyhoo. Mahi fish are surface feeders and if you closely watch your trolled baits. In a similar fashion, seeing the dolphin as they beeline in, generally at a right angle to the bait, for a steam roller strike. Also, the Mahi Mahi fish can be very acrobatic when they are hooked also. Providing an angler a good show and thrilling battle. Here’s a catch, I have always found that pink and white or black and red or black and white or the best color choices for artificial lures. When possible, I like a skirt with a flat head that smokes and weaves and wobbles and leaves a bubble trail as it is pulled through the water.

I have trolled as many as six rods at a time with several different colors and styles of artificial lures rigged with ballyhoo. Likewise, the optimum trolling speed is about six knots depending on whether you are going with or against any prevailing currents and winds. Sight fishing plays an important role in dolphin fishing. Watch for circling birds! Even one lone bird hanging out in a certain area almost certainly means there is action beneath him. Look out for schools of flying fish, one of the Mahi fish’s favorite snacks, good sign dolphins are just below.

Best Conditions for Mahi

Dolphins like a cover and you will typically find them around floating debris and weed lines of Sargasso seaweed. Trolling rods in the 30 pound class with matching conventional reels spooled with 25 to 30-pound monofilament lines make a perfect combo for catching dolphins. I personally have caught dolphins on fly rods and reels and found it to be one of the most exciting open ocean challenges there is! Dolphin fishing is a relatively easy relaxing and enjoyable summertime trip that can bring big thrills, lots of fish, and some very good eating. Believe me, Mahi Mahi fish is the easiest blue water fish to catch for the average angler and pays off big time on the dinner table so get out there and perfect your technique!

Recipes for cooking and eating Mahi

Known as the Poor Man’s Lobster

Ingredients (serves two)

1 lb Mahi Mahi fish fillet
12 ounces beer
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

6 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions : Prep Time: 10 mins – Total Time: 25 mins

Cut fillets into 2-inch chunks and drizzle with the lemon juice.
Pour the beer into the bottom of a saucepan. (If using fresh lemon juice, toss the leftover lemon rind in with the beer.) Then place a collapsible vegetable steamer over the beer.
Bring the beer to a boil, place the fish chunks in the steamer. Cover, and steam for 5 to 10 minutes, dependent upon the thickness of the fish.
The fish will be rubbery if it is overcooked.
Meanwhile, heat the butter sauce with the garlic and salt (I heat it slowly until the garlic is no longer raw).
Remove the fish from the steamer and discard the beer/liquid/rind.
Serve the fish chunks with the garlic butter dipping sauce and your favorite sides.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi Recipe

Bursting with flavor and combines both sweet and sour taste sensations. The 30 minute prep time includes 20 minutes to marinate. This recipe is a snap and so delicious. You’ll love it!

Ingredients

Honey 3 tablespoons
Soy sauce 3 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, crushed or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 (6 ounces) Mahi Mahi fillets
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic, and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. In addition, fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Equally turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
Also, pour reserved marinade into the skillet, and heat over medium heat until the mixture reduces to a glaze consistently. Spoon glaze over fish, and serve immediately with your favorite side.

What’s best served with this dish?

I love an Asian Instant Brown Rice, as it goes so well with most meals and is healthy yet easy. For a skillet rice dish, a Rice Pilaf with mushrooms is a fantastic choice.

What about the veggies? I really like Lemon Dill dressing with Spinach or Mediterranean Salad for some greens and make it a full meal. Additionally, a nice serving of Roasted Vegetablesgoes very well and makes an amazing and simple dinner as well.

Purchasing Mahi Mahi Fish if you can’t catch it?

Mahi-mahi at restaurants is almost always sold as skinless fillets and is generally considered sustainable seafood. If you can’t find it fresh in your local market, check the frozen seafood section, which may sell them as individually frozen fillets. Megastores like BJ’s and Costco sell packs of frozen fillets. If you can’t find Mahi Mahi, look for a halibut, swordfish, or snapper which are meaty white fish as an alternative.

Miami Offshore Fishing Report

Miami, FL is one of the most sought after fishing destinations in the world. You can experience some of the best fishing during the fall season. When you visit Miami, you are opening yourself up for a fishing adventure of a lifetime. Here is a Miami Offshore Fishing Report which consists of some clues to what is going to be biting during these times.

You may be drawn to Florida for beautiful weather, great beaches and exciting night life but don’t count of the exceptional fishing opportunities. If you are planning a vacation from September through November to Miami, you will be visiting during the prime offshore fishing months. Every offshore angler dreams about hunting down some of their favorite catches or to take a fish off their bucket list but you have to know your fish first!

September is a great month to continue to search for that bull dolphin or mahi-mahi. The Gulf Stream is still bringing them through Miami and provides potentials for you to catch great numbers of them. You can also troll some wrecks for king fish during the month of September. Both species enjoy big baits. Stop by your local tackle shop and pick up some ballyhoo. We would also advise to never travel offshore without live bait. You can find schools of pilchards along the beaches or you can also pick up a dozen or two from your local tackle shop. Live bait comes in handy when you come across a large school of fish and want to load the boat quickly. Run out to the largest weed line or structure you can find and hold on for the fight of your life.

October through November bring about the first cold snaps of the year. When this occurs, it will change the way we approach and fish especially offshore. Colder waters and temperatures bring in the sailfish. Live bait is most certainly the most effective method in catching this bill fish. Fly a kite and get ready to have some fun as you watch a sailfish circle your live pilchard or goggle-eye. Get out on the water and determine which depth and location these sailfish are moving in. Keep an eye out for action in shallow depths and jumping sailfish. Don’t count out the king fish from sky-rocketing through the water to chase or eat your live bait.

Swordfish Fishing is also going to be excellent during these months. Whether you want to catch them during the daytime or nighttime is your preference but make sure you know the different techniques in order to do so. Each situation will call for different depths and equipment. Hop on board with a local expert and we can show you how to catch them in either day or night.

Don’t count out bottom fishing throughout these months. Your local reefs and wrecks will have endless species that you can catch. The main species would be snapper. Not only are they incredible fun to catch but they are most certainly a treat. Snapper is one of the most delicious bottom fish you can catch. Throw out a chicken rig with some deep or live bait and hold on for a great bite.

Your adventure starts when visiting Miami! Offshore fishing is going to be spectacular for an abundance of species. Don’t miss out on the action and take a break from the beaches and enjoy some beautiful weather in the deep blue sea. Feel free to contact us with any questions and we would be glad to help! We can get you in touch with our local experts.

Three Day Florida Fishing Mania

Bass Fishing, Dolphin Fishing, iOutdoors Blog, Offshore Fishing

Three Day Florida Fishing Mania

When traveling to Florida you must experience the endless opportunities to get in the outdoors. You can spend a Three Day Florida Fishing Mania with family or friends. South Florida offers some of the best fishing you can set your hook into. I never could have imagined the amount of memories that could be created with Captain Wayne Fellows.

Captain Wayne had the pleasure of fishing with Laura and her dad Jim. They were traveling from Chicago on vacation with no expectation to what was to come. Laura was surprising her dad on a Florida Fishing adventure of a lifetime over the course of three days.

Lake Okeechobee Bass Fishing

The first day out was spent Lake Okeechobee Bass Fishing. Lake Okeechobee is looking beautiful this time of year. Fall is the perfect time to soak in the scenery and explore new parts of the lake. You could be highly surprised at what you can experience on a lake this size.

Laura and Jim enjoyed the partly cloudy weather conditions with temperatures in the mid 90s. While waiting on the bite, they sat back and relaxed with a nice breeze in the air. Great weather promotes a great bite this time of year as they put over 20 largemouth bass in the boat. They caught some quality ones too with the biggest weighing 5 pounds 4 ounces.

They both shared the passion for fishing but never got a chance to key in on artificial baits. Wild caught shiners were the most effective technique to catch largemouth bass on Lake Okeechobee. It is also very exciting since you never know when you are going to land that fish you have been dreaming of.

Fort Lauderdale Offshore Fishing

Captain Wayne adventured out to something different on their second day. Fort Lauderdale Offshore Fishing for Mahi Mahi or Dolphin was something that was always fascinating to Laura and Jim. There is nothing like cruising off the shores of the beach and into an unpredictable day out in the ocean.

We had a window of great weather for most of the day with storms expected for the afternoon. The seas were at 2 to 4 foot most of the day which wasn’t a problem for catching fish.

Laura and Jim really wanted to catch this delicious fish that they haven’t gotten the chance to do before. We made it happen with a slow start catching non-keepers. Being patient is the game while you are Florida Fishing and we finally connected with the keeper we were waiting for.

It was not long after that one keeper that they got to experience something they would never forget. Two more hits and fish started a Mania that was highly unexpected. We came across a school of Mahi that rewarded us with 40 Mahi in the boat. It is always good to preserve the fishery so we only kept 14 of them and released the rest.

After an experience like that their arms were very tired and their faces were sore from the amount of laughs and smiles. They had dinner for multiple nights and they called it a day.

Florida Peacock Bass Fishing

On their final day with Captain Wayne was something they wanted to check off their bucket list for a long time. Peacock bass has always been the species of bass that they have wanted to catch. Lake Ida is the perfect location to catch a variety of the exotic species, especially your first peacock bass.

It was looking like a great day again with beautiful weather for another amazing fishing trip. The mostly sunny conditions promoted excellent fishing. A mix of 25 peacock and largemouth bass were caught along with mayan cichlids. They were excited to catch the quality peacock bass they did.

One of the many things people love about peacock bass fishing is the fight they put up. You could never imagine the strength they have when they are on the end of your line. Laura and Jim thoroughly enjoyed catching their first peacock bass.

It was truly an honor and my pleasure to provide Jim a gift from Laura that they will never forget. I am looking forward to the next time they return to catch more of these incredible species here in Florida.

If you are looking for a memorable fishing adventure that will provide you stories for a lifetime, do not look further than the great state of Florida. iOutdoor can provide all that you need to enjoy a great day out on the water with the ones that are important to you.

I know next time I am visiting South Florida and Fort Lauderdale, I will be chasing all the species I can from salt to fresh water!

Customer Fishing TripAdvisor Review

“Can’t begin to say enough good things about my experience with my guide through bassonline.com. I was taking my dad for a surprise father daughter Ft Lauderdale fishing trip to Florida to target a few different species on a few different locations. They were able to not only set me up with idea locations but also give me ideas on where to stay that would be centrally located. Also, they even got me a guide that was able to stay with us for the whole trip. Setting me up with Wayne and it was instantly like fishing with a long time friend!!!

Captain Wayne was easy to communicate with even before the trip via text ( my preference). As well, he was an absolute blast to fish with, but he was knowledgeable about each of the various locations but was able to not only take us freshwater, but also saltwater fishing. He was honest and never tried to upsell me on the day / time. In fact, he even suggested that because of the rough weather to be able to book half days and as long as he remained free we could “upgrade” to full days if the fishing and conditions were holding out.

It was the best thing I could have asked for in a guide and made the trip with my dad something we will never forget. There are not too many chances in life to make such awesome memories and I am so glad that he is a part of this one for us. We actually hit it off so well, we have become friends that keep in touch and I cannot wait to return and do some fishing with him this winter!! He will forever be the guide I use and will recommend to everyone I talk to!!!” – Laura
