You can now pay the down payment with Paypal or credit card. If you are booking multiple days, simply choose the number of days. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
I do not catch your limit then take you back to the ramp. I am a catch and release fishing guide and will do everything I can to provide you with a chance at a trophy fish.
2021 Rates. I may charge more than some of the other guides, but I can promise you we catch more quality fish than the others. Other guides can try to copy my style, but we do things differently.
Half day trips $400 up to 2 people and each additional angler over 16 years old is and additional $50. These are typically first light until around noon or the fish quit biting or the last few hours of daylight. If we have to stay out alittle longer to get a fish, I will take care of you.
Full day trips $500 up to 2 people each additional angler over 16 years old is an additional $50. Typically my full day trips consist of a morning and evening session and are around 8-10 hours in duration. Sometimes we can split the day when applicable as often the middle of the day is less productive.
Trophy striper trips $550 up to 2 people and additional angler over 16 years old is an additional $50. Your best shot at a trophy striper in excess of 35 lbs. I go all out with the best baits and I have some of the best spots located for some really nice fish. I can guarantee you nobody will give you a better chance at one of these fish. Travel is typically involved with these trips, hence the upcharge.

Please refrain from wearing bright orange or chartruese shirts or jackets!!! They key to catching these fish is to not be noticed by the fish. Most of the fish I target are feeding up near the surface so keep that in mind when preparing for the trip.
Many of the fish we target are on the surface so if they see you they will shy away.
What to expect on a striper trip.
I fish for stripers totally different as other guides in the area. Bait catching is part of my trips. I have the freshest bait and thus the best opportunity to catch trophies on my trips. When it comes to 30 lb fish, nobody comes close to doing what I do unless they are doing the same and catching the bait during the trip. I will go ahead and say it that sometimes the fishing can be more difficult than other days. I will make every effort to put a nice fish in the boat. Patience is needed and please understand that every spot we fish will have fish but it is up to the fish to feed.

Your favorite drinks or snacks
