Saturday morning my wife and I had scheduled a 6 hour crappie fishing trip weeks in advance. It was raining, wind blowing and cold. Jeff never hesitated on full filling our long awaited fishing trip. He provided us with rain jackets and warm clothing since we were un-prepared. Even through the wind and rain we still caught plenty crappie. We had a great time and we are definitely going back. Once we returned back to his house he cleaned and bagged all the fish that we kept. Great time and great guide!

Chris was awesome. super fun and ambitious in trying to get us to catch some fish. Cold front came through the night before we went out so we didn’t catch much, but we’re not very experienced so we ran with the cold front excuse.

The three of us ages 81, 45 and 13 had a great time. Our guide, Chris Daugherty was outstanding. He put us on fish and helped our 2 younger members understand the method we were using. Ghe boat was comfortable and roomy enough for all of us. he took time to show my grandson the electronics he used to put us on fish. i would highly recommend Lakeside Guide Service for a trip and plan on using Chris in the future.
