Message: Recently took a trip with Mike. It was an awesome experience with a top notch guide. We reeled in 9 fish. One of which was a 5 pound spotted bass. I highly recommend it for anyone that loves fishing. Great time and I can't wait to do it again.

Message: These guys are great we had a trip of 10 and they made it happen with no hitches and everybody had more fun than they had ever planned. These fish fight hard and are loads of fun for the whole family. These guys were so nice in accommadating our wives on the boat and making it fun and enjoyable for them.

 The Boat 
 We fish out of a 20 ft. Playtime center console boat with an Evenrude 115 E-Tec motor. Lowrance X-27c with 7" screen, equipped with GPS. Minn Kota trolling motor with hand held remote
 The Reels 

The reels that we use are Okuma, Penn, and Abu Garcia all with bait clickers. We use Berkely Big Game rods with 20lb. test Berkely Big Game line. Our leaders are tied with 20lb. test Seaguar.

 The Bait 
The bait we use are live Gizzard Shad for the majority of our fishing. We catch them ourselves on the Warrior River. We can also keep them alive and healthy for a long period of time, with the right addatives. The size bait we use depends on the season. Spring and Summer seems to be the time when they like to eat the bigger Gizzard Shad. Winter, they like the smaller Gizzard Shad. We always are casting artificial baits, anything from big swimbaits to red fins on top and sometimes bucktail jigs.
 Shad Facilities 
This is our shad keeping facilities. We are able to accomidate 900-1000 shad. We are able to keep the shad alive with this system for up to three months if needed.
