Our trips are tailored to the individual client based upon the package selected. Of course you can pursue more than one species in one outing, and we offer special spring trophy bass trips and Hat Trick trips (bass, striper and crappie). We welcome children. Around 60% of our business is father and sons.

We meet at High Point Marina and clients do not pay for parking. We can recommend lodging at The Lighthouse Inn (540.895-5249 or at www.lakeannacondo.com) Our rates are affordable and the hours cannot be beat.

Our rigs are all 20' or longer and our guides punctual and personable. They work to please you and realize your fishing goals.

When you fish with me out of my bass boat, I like to concentrate on the use of lures for bass, stripers and crappie. However, I do run bait at times for striper and certainly employ small minnows when crappie fishing. When you fish with John or Tony out of their center consoles, these are mostly live bait striper trips using native baitfish like herring or shad the guides collect BEFORE you get in the boat. There may be times when casting lures is productive on these trips, too. John also runs crappie trips. Please note the center console rates below. Due to rising fuel costs we are adjusting our rates from time to time.
