I had a great trip with Capt. Josh! He kept me on the fish during our whole trip. The fish chose not to bite as often as they could have, but we saw fish on the LiveScope everywhere we stopped. I learned so much about Lake Lanier and the crappie, that I am ready to go out again soon! Thank you Josh for being my guide!

We landed 17 fish, and the Captain made sure we stayed right on top of them. Even when the bite slowed down and the fish started circling the bait without committing, we still had a fantastic time. Great experience with an excellent guide!

This trip was fantastic. It was a hard day of fishing after a random cold front and storm came through the night before. However, Capt. Josh can still found the crappies. Capt. Josh was great in answering all questions from tactics, crappie ecology, Lanier history, and about anything else that popped up. My daughter and myself had a blast.

My wife and I spent the day fishing with Captain Josh and had an amazing experience. He was incredibly patient and made sure we understood every step, even when my wife kept finding every snag and tree limb in the lake! He retied her line multiple times without a hint of frustration—always with a smile. Captain Josh truly knows where to find the fish, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

It was bloody cold! Captain Josh is a great guide with a sense of humor. He put us on the fish all trip, but they would not bite. Many times the fish would leave their group come up sniff our lure and just leave it. We caught 3 ...pic below.

Get ready for some dock shooting! You'll spot plenty of fish on the graph, but remember, they won't always bite.
