In spite of the arctic like conditions, by Florida standards anyway, Captain Reno Alley managed to put us, my wife Judy and I, on the bite on a rainy cold blustery day with a cold front sitting right on top of us which is why we never got more than a few hundred yards from the Lake Summit boat ramp. Captain Alley was an amiable sort with a gift for gab and a notable passion for fishing and the outdoor life. We had a heckuva good time and did a lot of cracking up in between reeling them in, a total of 22 LMB’s 1-5 lbs. Thank you Captain Reno.

Captain Reno filled in at the last minute due to a boat issue with another captain and did a great job. We found the fish quickly and he kept me on them all day. We caught tons of big bass and had a great time. I was hot and wore out by the time we finished, but it was a great trip.

Here we are with three largemouth bass at once; what a moment and what a memory!! We were fishing Lake Winterset with Capt. Bill Goudy Jr. when we all got strikes and boated fish at the same time. The guided fishing trip began at 6:30 in the morning. We met Capt. Bill at the dock in the dark and minutes later we were watching bobbers being pulled across the surface of the water by very active baitfish. By late morning we had laughed and giggled, knotted lines and reels, and caught and released a bunch of big bass. It was a great fishing trip. We’ll do something like it again. Thanks Capt. Bill

In a year or so the lakes will be the place to go.
