VerifiedEJ, and his associates, always put us on the fish. He made sure we got some nice catches. I highly recommend EJ and his service and will continue to use them. I have used this service for 4-5 years now.

VerifiedRhen did a great job of getting us on the water and setting us up to catch some very nice trout! This was my first time fishing from a drift boat, so I especially appreciated his tips on casting and line management in that setting. Afterwards, my fishing buddy commented several times about how much that helped him, too. Rhen also worked really hard to find fish, even during times when weather had put them off feeding. He put in a hard day’s work for us. We’re looking forward to fishing with him again, whether for trout or smallmouth bass.
