Being on the water as often as we are, and with graphic wrapped boats, we're often asked if we're professionals or guides.

We are NOT professionals or fishing guides, and we do not take others out fishing as a service or do guided trips or charters.

We're fortunate to live between 2 popular Southern California bass fishing lakes and to have a great selection of licensed guides and pro-level anglers who offer educational and recreational fishing trips.

To see a list of currently licensed guides, visit the Ca Dept of Fish and Wildlife and Search by last name or view a full list of licensed guides by county: California Department of Fish and Wildlife

While they may not agree on our assessment of who their services are best for, each guide has their own style and areas of expertise. It's important to consider your goals and what kind of experience you're after. Some also cater to shared-cost/multi-person trips and groups while others limit outings to 1-2 people so be sure to inquire about those things based on your needs.

Educational

You can't go wrong with any of the most experienced local guides. Each has decades of experience that often includes competition, and can provide hands-on education that goes beyond fishing to encompass everything from tackle selection and rigging, to specific techniques and lake-based education.

If you're serious about freshwater fishing or want to develop specific skills, these guides are excellent resources.
