Based in the prime crappie fishing region of the Arkansas River Valley along the shores of Lake Dardanelle, I bring over a decade of experience as a professional crappie fisherman and guide. With thousands of hours spent on the water, I have honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the fish I am passionate about pursuing. We fish from a 21-foot Skeeter bass boat equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and gear designed to provide an exceptional fishing adventure.
My approach focuses on both enjoyment and education, aiming to equip you with techniques that you can use back at your own fishing spots to improve your catch. My life is centered around my faith, my wife, and my church, with God being the foundation that guides everything else.
When you fish with me, you can look forward to a fun-filled day, reeling in fish, and soaking up the sun. I also offer flexibility regarding your starting location to accommodate your preferences.
Clients have shared their experiences, highlighting my expertise and guidance. I've been praised for knowing exactly where to find fish, where to drop jigs, and for delivering successful outings even under challenging weather conditions. Many appreciate how I tailor the fishing style to suit their needs and how focused I remain on ensuring they have a great time on the water.
While not every trip guarantees a big haul, I strive to provide valuable instruction and plenty of effort throughout our time together. I remain committed to teaching new methods and sharing my passion for crappie fishing. Whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, you'll find the experience rewarding and enjoyable.
I'm eager to continue hosting anglers searching for quality fishing trips and memorable moments. If you're ready to enjoy some excellent crappie fishing, catch some great fish, and have a fantastic day outdoors, join me for your next adventure.
You can cancel your booking at no charge if done at least 14 days prior to your trip and the amount will be credited to your account. If you cancel within 14 days before the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations on the day of the trip or failure to show up will result in a full charge applied to your payment method.
Our charters come with no hidden fees. While tips and gratuities are greatly appreciated, they are entirely optional and up to the client's discretion. Please remember to check the weather beforehand to dress appropriately, including bringing rain gear if necessary. Trip cancellations due to unsafe water conditions will be decided by the captain. Should a trip be cancelled because of weather, we will gladly reschedule it for a more suitable date and time.
The half-day fishing excursion includes four full hours on the water, while the all-day trips offer eight hours of fishing time. Please note that the time spent cleaning fish is not included within these durations. Our approach utilizes a variety of fishing techniques tailored to the experience level of each client and their desired outcomes for the trip.
Fishing will take place on a 21-foot Skeeter bass boat, fully equipped with all necessary tackle, gear, and safety equipment. Clients are responsible for bringing their own food and beverages during the charter. Additionally, lodging and meals outside the trip are the client’s responsibility; however, we are happy to provide local recommendations upon request.
Trips can be customized to focus on specific fishing methods as preferred by the client. We welcome anglers of all skill levels and are committed to delivering an exceptional experience to help foster the enjoyment and longevity of crappie fishing as a sport.
