About Larry | Fishing | Rates | What to Bring

With over 35 years of guide and tournament experience, I would like to help you experience the most popular form of fishing across the U.S. - Black Bass Fishing!

Each planned trip is customized according to my client's wishes and ability level.

I also specialize in helping people improve their angling skills, whether raw beginner or experienced tournament angler.

My biggest pleasure are the trips where I get to teach people the basics of bass fishing creating new generation of successful anglers. For the serious competitor, I offer tournament prep trips and trophy bass trips (mostly at night), where I do the best job possible to help you catch the bass you've dreamed about!
